This is the final post in my series covering the highlights from the Juno Nova mid-cycle meetup. In this post I will cover our next generation API, which used to be called the v3 API but is largely now referred to as the v2.1 API. Getting to this point has been one of the more…
Don’t Tell Mum I Work On The Rigs
I read this book while on a flight a few weeks ago. Its surprisingly readable and relatively short — you can knock it over in a single long haul flight. The book covers the memoirs of an oil rig worker, from childhood right through to middle age. That’s probably the biggest weakness of the book,…
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: nova-network to Neutron migration
This will be my second last post about the Juno Nova mid-cycle meetup, which covers the state of play for work on the nova-network to Neutron upgrade. First off, some background information. Neutron (formerly Quantum) was developed over a long period of time to replace nova-network, and added to the OpenStack Folsom release. The development…
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: slots
If I had to guess what would be a controversial topic from the mid-cycle meetup, it would have to be this slots proposal. I was actually in a Technical Committee meeting when this proposal was first made, but I’m told there were plenty of people in the room keen to give this idea a try….
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: scheduler
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…
Review priorities as we approach juno-3
I just send this email out to openstack-dev, but I am posting it here in case it makes it more discoverable to people drowning in email: To: openstack-dev Subject: [nova] Review priorities as we approach juno-3 Hi. We’re rapidly approaching j-3, so I want to remind people of the current reviews that are high priority….
