Unfortunately, the COVID shelter in place order has kind of thrown a few wrenches into this project. The group that I was buying my used gear from had to close their doors for an undetermined period. The group that I was working with is https://www.freeitathens.org/. They are a great group of people doing a good job providing technology to those who can't afford it. Once this COVID stuff is over, please check them out. Also, if you happen to have any used gear you are looking to get rid of and are anywhere near Athens GA, please consider donating it to this group.
However, I have plugged on with this project. I was able to borrow a pair of machines from a friend. They are equipped with phenom chips. Given the command set on the chips, they should work fine as virtualization engines. However, my first stab at building a private cloud was via Ovirt and it turns out that it doesn't recognize the Phenom chips as supported. I tried several ways to work around this, but couldn't find a simple way around it. So my next stab for building a private cloud will be OpenNebula
