So, clearly, we’re heavily vested in OpenStack. Icehouse gives us several new capabilities that will make a big difference, including scheduler improvements and instance creation and deletion. Each OpenStack release makes impressive gains in maturity. It’s a march of progress that gives us confidence in the platform and the community.” — Mike Wilson, senior systems architect at Bluehost “Cloud computing has become strategic to our business by enabling our developers to move faster and providing a scalable infrastructure to deliver our content services. By using OpenStack, we are not only choosing a cloud platform, but a community in which we have the ability to influence the software roadmap, share knowledge among operators and build even stronger relationships with our technology vendors who are supporting the platform.” — Andrew Mitry, senior manager of platform infrastructure at Comcast Webinar Today Today at 11 am PDT, Mark Collier will host a webinar to discuss icehouse with Das Kamhout of Intel and Troy Toman of Rackspace, both of whom have experience operating OpenStack clouds. They will explain what’s new in the Icehouse release and how the voice of the user is coming through loud and clear in our maturing platform.

[openstack-community] Internal Software Testing Cloud using spare hardware
by Frank Wilson 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi, I have been trying to get networking working in a 'simple' internal cloud for a couple of months now and I am beginning to give up. This internal cloud would be used for software testing distributed systems. There are no external users, no multi tenancy. Basically I have 4 spare mounted machines, nothing special. * Two that don't support hardware virtualisation. These would make good controllers / LXC compute nodes. * Two that do support hardware virtualisation. So I was planning to use KVM here. * One managed 1Gbps switch (although I've not made use of the managed features yet) * One unmanaged 100Mbs switch (I almost want to throw this way) * Each machine has two network ports, one internal and one external. * I don't have control over the gateway router in the external LAN that the machines are connected to Basically what I'd like to do is have a multi (compute) host cloud that supports VMs with two interfaces, one public interface with a routable ip (on the private LAN, but outside the cloud) and one private (only routable within the cloud). The attractive thing about this setup is from the point of the view of the software running in the cloud it mimics the basic setup in public clouds. So if we needed to scale up we could point our scripts to a different cloud and still take advantage of low traffic costs on their 'internal' networks. Its the networking that is the major problem for me. Not really knowing what networking daemon was necessary, I started out with nova-network. This almost worked but it was hard to support two guest networks. It might have worked if it were possible to run two dhcp servers on one bridge (a limitation of nova-network daemon caused the second dhcp server to overwrite the config of the first!). Another way it might have worked would have been if linux bridge let you connect a real port to two bridges or bridges to one another, but it doesn't. So then I tried neutron but the guides that I found were vague and had surprising hardware requirements, like * Need a managed switch (in addition to OVS!) * Need an external router (disappointing given that nova network had a software router on each compute node!) These requirements seemed to be because of the extra security needed for multi-tenancy that were not relevant to my use case. But after having tried many different permutations of settings in neutron I can't see a way forward. Is what I am doing impossible? Frank

Take the OpenStack User Survey and Change the (OpenStack) World <http://openstack.org/user-survey> Still a few more hours to fill in the OpenStack User Survey. Heartbleed <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2014/04/10/heartbleed/> The bug discovered affecting OpenSSL and “breaking” internet doesn’t directly touch OpenStack but can lead to OpenStack compromise <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack/2014-April/006539.html>. The width of the problem discovered this week is extremely wide though and I think it’s worth spending some more time learning about it. Mark McLoughlin <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc> has collected an impressive amount of links where you can learn more. Security auditing of OpenStack releases <https://blog-nkinder.rhcloud.com/?p=51> Nathan Kinder <https://blog-nkinder.rhcloud.com/> started a conversation about how to deal with high-level security related questions about OpenStack. How to govern a project on the scale of OpenStack <http://opensource.com/business/14/4/governance-openstack> How an open source project is governed can matter just as much as the features it supports, the speed at which it runs, or the code that underlies it. Some open source projects have what I call a “benevolent dictator for life <http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/on-the-reign-of-benev…>.” Others are outgrowths of corporate projects that, while open, still have their goals and code led by the company that manages it. And of course, there are thousands of projects out there that are written and managed by a single person or a small group of people for whom governance is less of an issue than insuring project sustainability <http://opensource.com/life/14/1/evaluate-sustainability-open-source-project>. Introducing the OpenStack SDK for PHP <http://engineeredweb.com/blog/2014/openstack-sdk-php-intro/> Marrying OpenStack with one of the most popular programming languages on the planet. Write applications to interact with OpenStack public and private clouds, using the APIs. The OpenStack SDK for PHP <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack-SDK-PHP> is meant to be by the community and for the community. It will be able to work with clouds from a variety of vendors or vanilla OpenStack setups. Tearing down obstacles to OpenStack documentation contributions <http://justwriteclick.com/2014/04/10/tearing-down-obstacles-to-openstack-do…> Rip. Shred. Tear. Let’s gather up the obstacles to documentation contribution and tear them down one by one. I’ve designed a survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/136-BssH-OxjVo8vNoOD-gW4x8fDFpvixbgCfeV1w_d…> with the help of the OpenStack docs team to determine blockers for docs contributions.
