Openstack Xen deployment using Juju

Openstack Xen deployment using Juju

So I’m new to Juju and want to automate my Openstack deployment using Juju. I use KVM and Xen hypervisors in my Openstack Environment. I have read that juju doesn’t support Xen officially.
My question is: is it possible to deploy Xen Compute nodes using Juju and Openstack and how?
I couldn’t find any thing about this on the Internet.
Thanks!

A question for @openstack-charmers

KVM is the only currently supported virtualization mode for the nova-compute charm. Support could be added to that charm but there hasn’t been enough interest in that to get it added to date.

Ohhh ok… This is bad news :frowning:
let’s see if i don’t find any other solution, maybe i will try to write my own charms

It shouldn’t need a new charm, the nova-compute charm is designed to allow the virtualization mode to be customized, it just hasn’t had xen support added: https://github.com/openstack/charm-nova-compute/blob/747fa2d68d91411992871be9ef6b8fff757afb3d/hooks/nova_compute_utils.py#L289
