I would like to build Private FIWARE lab.

I read FIWARE Lab Nodes Handbook and understood FIWARE Lab depends on OpenStack.

https://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARELabNodes_Handbook

I have some question for build a FIWARE Lab

Q1. Is it possible that FIWARE Lab building without OpenStack

I would like to build FIWARE Lab with using VMware vSphere, is it possible?

Q2. Is it possible that controller is running on VMware vSphere

If I can't build FIWARE lab without OpenStack, I would like to build openstack controller on VMware vSphere. Is it possible?

the handbook writes about OpenStack Controller that,
---
3 Controllers in HA (including also Neutron L3 HA solution) with the following services

The nova-scheduler service, that allocates VMs on the compute nodes.
The cinder-scheduler service, that allocates block storage on the compute nodes.
The glance-registry service, that manages the images and VM templates. The backend for the registry maybe the controller node, or the Object Storage.
The neutron-server service, that manages the VM networks.
The heat-api and engine
The swift-proxy service that manages request to the object storage nodes.
The nova-api service, that exposes the APIs to interact with the nova-scheduler.
The cinder-api service, that exposes the APIs to interact with the cinder-scheduler.
The glance-api service, that exposes the APIs to interact with the glance-registry.
The keystone service, that manages OpenStack services in a node.
