This post is in a series covering the discussions at the Juno Nova mid-cycle meetup. This post will cover the current state of play of our scheduler refactoring efforts. The scheduler refactor has been running for a fair while now, dating back to at least the Hong Kong summit (so about 1.5 release cycles ago)….

Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: bug management
Welcome to the next exciting installment of the Nova Juno mid-cycle meetup summary. In the previous chapter, our hero battled a partially complete cells implementation, by using his +2 smile of good intentions. In this next exciting chapter, watch him battle our seemingly never ending pile of bugs! Sorry, now that I’m on to my…
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: cells
This is the next post summarizing the Juno Nova mid-cycle meetup. This post covers the cells functionality used by some deployments to scale Nova. For those unfamiliar with cells, it’s a way of combining smaller Nova installations into a thing which feels like a single large Nova install. So for example, Rackspace deploys Nova in…
More bowls and pens
The pens are quite hard to make by the way — the wood is only a millimeter or so thick, so it tends to split very easily. [icbm: home]
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: DB2 support
This post is one part of a series discussing the OpenStack Nova Juno mid-cycle meetup. It’s a bit shorter than most of the others, because the next thing on my list to talk about is DB2, and that’s relatively contained. IBM is interested in adding DB2 support as a SQL database for Nova. Theoretically, this…

We’re rapidly approaching j-3, so I want to remind people of the current reviews that are high priority….
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: ironic
Welcome to the third in my set of posts covering discussion topics at the nova juno mid-cycle meetup. The series might never end to be honest. This post will cover the progress of the ironic nova driver. This driver is interesting as an example of a large contribution to the nova code base for a…
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: containers
This is the second in my set of posts discussing the outcomes from the OpenStack nova juno mid-cycle meetup. I want to focus in this post on things related to container technologies. Nova has had container support for a while in the form of libvirt LXC. While it can be argued that this support isn’t…
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: social issues
Summarizing three days of the Nova Juno mid-cycle meetup is a pretty hard thing to do – I’m going to give it a go, but just in case I miss things, there is an etherpad with notes from the meetup at https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/juno-nova-mid-cycle-meetup. I’m also going to do it in the form of a series of…
More turning
Some more pens, and then I went back to bowls for a bit. The attraction of pens is that I can churn out a pen in about 30 minutes, whereas a bowl can take twice that. Therefore when I have a small chance to play in the garage I’ll do a pen, whereas when I…
