This is a just a quick list of the posts I wrote summarizing the Juno Nova mid-cycle meetup in the right order to read them, because I didn’t actually have that online before. I needed to send this list to someone, so I figured its easier to just post it here. Juno nova mid-cycle meetup…

Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: conclusion
There’s been a lot of content in this series about the Juno Nova mid-cycle meetup, so thanks to those who followed along with me. I’ve also received a lot of positive feedback about the posts, so I am thinking the exercise is worthwhile, and will try to be more organized for the next mid-cycle (and…
Juno nova mid-cycle meetup summary: the next generation Nova API
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…
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: cells

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…
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…
