OpenStack summit in Tokyo and TripleO

OpenStack summit Tokyo anyone? I've been there and thought it was a very well organized event, in a nice location. Every minute together with peers seemed worth it to me. This said, let's talk about the actual sessions. I spent most of my time at the TripleO and Heat sessions, with a little detour on Magnum. Plus some booth crawling.

TripleO

We had three sessions and a full day meetup. The first discussed the recent …


On TripleO and the EnablePacemaker bool

News is that we're adding into TripleO/Puppet an option to deploy Pacemaker on the Overcloud nodes. Puppet you said? Sure TripleO can use Puppet now for the configuration of the Overcloud nodes, ask Dan Prince :) Actually usage of Puppet is nowdays the preferred approach and many features are available …

This said, should $subject sound interesting to you, beware the code still …


TripleO vs OpenStack HA

One of the topics discussed during the TripleO mid-cycle meetup in RDU was our status in relation to deploying OpenStack in a highly available manner. This had been worked on for some time and recently reached a usable state.

Majority of complications seem to come from two factors: 1) we need to guarantee availability of external services too, like the database and the message broker, which aren't exactly designed for a scale-out scenario, 2) despite …


My takeaways from EuroPython 2013

Been there! The event was very well organized and even the food was good. The following are the talks I attended with some comments and my takeaways.

Despite the EuroPython 2013 lasting a full week, including the weekend with some code sprints, I could only join the event for three days, from Tuesday to Thursday. Still it was a great experience and a good chance to learn about new things while also meet people who …
