It's funny, Google developed their own hyperconverged stack back in 2007 because it didn't want to give vmware any money. They had couple of engineers to build Ganeti rather than pay for all the vmware licenses they needed for corp office infra.
Which server management platform do you prefer for virtualization?

Maybe not "simple", but Ganeti is pretty powerful. A Ganeti + Ceph combo will build you a hyperconverged system. Ganeti will scale to hundreds to thousands of servers. Plus it can build multi-cluster setups, where you can move VMs between clusters easily.
