Unraid OpenStack option? Why not?

definition: OpenStack software controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, managed through a dashboard. 
 

In a server farm of 2 or more server you would feel that if you wanted to add additional resources, cpus, ram, disk storage space when one server is utilizing 100% of it, to expand in elasticity, OpenStack is the option. 
 

additionally in my case I just decommissioned a cpu crypto rig on 2 rack servers, I’m having a hard time reconditioning them for another purpose, I was thinking why can I not add theses servers to Unraid and add to the pooled resources, probably because it does not exist, why not? If it’s about money and licensing I’ll pay , but it would be silly to pay for 2 or more separate licenses and have separate Unraid servers when it could be just one UI.

 

example:

1 Unraid server 24cores 64gb ram,  9 TB storage 

server 2. & 3, 24cores 64gb ram 2 TB storage 

 

w/Unraid OpenStack 

72 cores, 192gb ram, 13tb storage
