DLA Piper administered the election and has passed along the results. The eight elected companies and the individuals they intend to appoint to the board are listed alphabetically below: * Cisco -- Lew Tucker * Cloudscaling -- Randy Bias * Dell -- John Igoe * Dreamhost -- Simon Anderson * ITRI/CCAT -- Dr. Tzi-cker Chiueh * Mirantis -- Boris Renski * Piston -- Joshua McKenty * Yahoo! -- Sean Roberts Congratulations to the first members of OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors. OpenStack Swift: Where do we go from here? <http://markmail.org/message/yioqxntjsjlqyda6> Swift has many exciting features coming in the OpenStack Folsom Release this fall, but where do we go from here? What's next for Swift in grizzly? Join the discussion with the developers and give your feedback. The Return of Hyper-V <http://markmail.org/message/r46uxsblqviqr2j6> It's back: Hyper-V support is integrated back into Nova with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/11276/. OpenStack Security blog: An oldie but a goodie Josh McKenty's EMEA Launch Slides <http://secstack.org/2012/08/an-oldie-but-a-goodie-josh-mckentys-emea-launch…> This is a pretty antiquated presentation. Plenty of stuff has changed in openstack since it was given, for better and for worse. But it gives you an idea that the origins of OpenStack were built with security in mind. When at NASA we had some pretty good security and policy guys contributing heavily to the sprint planning sessions we had. The result was a code base that was fairly flexible when it came to adjusting itself to meet policy requirements. Understanding VlanManager Network Flows in OpenStack Cloud: Six Scenarios <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/vlanmanager-network-flow-analysis/> In a couple of recent posts <http://www.mirantis.com/author/psiwczakmirantis-com/> Mirantis' engineer Piotr Siwczak <http://www.mirantis.com/author/psiwczakmirantis-com/> covered some fundamental concepts of OpenStack networking, including VlanManager <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-networking-vlanmanager/> and floating IPs <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/configuring-floating-ip-addresses-networking-o…>. This post builds upon such content and aims to present how traffic flows in different scenarios addressed by OpenStack.

Gold Members will be holding the election using cumulative voting the week before the individual member elections. More http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2012-August/001061.html Openstack Networking for Scalability and Multi-tenancy with VlanManager <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-networking-vlanmanager/> Second post by Mirantis about OpenStack networking, using VlanManager. While flat managers are designed for simple, small scale deployments, VlanManager is a good choice for large scale internal clouds and public clouds. Can OpenStack Swift Hit Amazon S3 like Cost Points? <http://www.buildcloudstorage.com/2012/01/can-openstack-swift-hit-amazon-s3-…> Amar Kapadia tries to answer the question whether a user creating cloud storage with OpenStack Swift can sell it to internal or external users at a price competitive to Amazon S3. Should You Consider SSDs for OpenStack Swift Cloud Storage? <http://www.zmanda.com/blogs/?p=847> Zmanda folks started publishing a series of blog posts investigating pros and cons of using SSD-based Swift installations. With an ongoing move in the industry to move towards building data centers with SSD based storage <http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/06/flash-data-centers/>, there has been a lot of interest in the OpenStack Swift community to consider the faster I/O devices when deploying Swift based storage cloud, such as the discussions in [1] <https://answers.launchpad.net/swift/+question/163356>, [2] <https://answers.launchpad.net/swift/+question/181977> and [3] <https://answers.launchpad.net/swift/+question/159085>. Swift 1.6.0 Release <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/08/06/swift-1.6.0-release/> The changes highlighted by the team: the bin/swift CLI client and swift/common/client.py have been moved to the new python-swiftclient OpenStack project; Swift now includes the Keystone middleware "keystoneauth"; the swift-dispersion-report now works with a replica count other than three. Full announcement. Congratulations to the team for Swift's new release, v. 1.6.0 <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/08/06/swift-1.6.0-release/> and welcome to the five new Swift developers: François Charlier, Iryoung Jeong, Tsuyuzaki Kota, Dan Prince, Vincent Untz. OpenStack Nova, Glance and Keystone 2012.1.2 released <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2012-August/000020.…> In the time since the Essex release, the stable release team has been busy selectively back-porting bugfixes to the stable/essex branch according to the "safe source of high-impact fixes" criteria http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch. These releases are bugfix updates to Essex and are intended to be relatively risk free with no intentional regressions or API changes.

Highlights of the week OpenStack Foundation Board -- 2012 Election Candidates <http://www.openstack.org/community/openstack-foundation-board-2012-election…> See the current list of nominees for the OpenStack Foundation 2012 Board Member Elections who have received at least one nomination. A candidate must receive at least 10 nominations to appear on the ballot. Any active member of the OpenStack Foundation can support a nominee or nominate a new candidate http://www.openstack.org/community/openstack-foundation-board-2012-election…. A candidate must receive at least 10 nominations to appear on the ballot and must be a member of the Foundation. *The final day to nominate a candidate is Monday August 6, 2012.* Rostyslav Slipetskyy's Thesis on OpenStack security <http://secstack.org/2012/08/the-rostyslav-slipetskyy-thesis/> This is a pretty awesome bit of work done by a researcher in Denmark. I enjoyed reading it and I highly recommend it as day 1 reading for Infosec professionals and researchers getting into OpenStack. Slides <http://www.slideshare.net/oldbam/security-issues-in-openstack> and you can download the full thesis (PDF) <http://nordsecmob.aalto.fi/en/programme/publications/nordsecmob_thesis_2011…>. API Stability Statement <http://wiki.openstack.org/Governance/Approved/APIStability> It is critical to the success of OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> that operators be willing to upgrade to new OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> releases. All OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> APIs use a versioning scheme that is completely independent from the named releases (Essex, Folsom, etc.). One obstacle to upgrading to a new OpenStack <http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack> release is if there are incompatible API changes that could cause user applications to stop working. Operators want great new features and APIs to be the only aspect of the upgrade process visible to their users. Old API versions should continue to work. More on http://wiki.openstack.org/Governance/Approved/APIStability OpenStack PPB defined "Supporting Project" There is a new category of OpenStack projects in addition to Core, Incubated, Library and Gating projects: "Supporting projects". The initial list of projects in this category is available on the wiki, with more details: http://wiki.openstack.org/Governance/Accepted/SupportingProjectDefinition.

Cannot pass hint to Nova Scheduler
by Heng Xu 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi folks: I am new to openstack, I am current trying to test the json filter, I changed my /etc/nova/nova.conf as follow scheduler_driver=nova. scheduler.multi.MultiScheduler compute_scheduler_driver=nova.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler volume_scheduler_driver=nova.scheduler.chance.ChanceScheduler scheduler_available_filters=nova.scheduler.filters.standard_filters scheduler_default_filters=JsonFilter least_cost_functions=nova.scheduler.least_cost.compute_fill_first_cost_fn compute_fill_first_cost_fn_weight=-1.0 so I can use the json filter however, when I was using it, if I boot a vm without any --hint to the scheduler, then the vm started fine, but if I use nova --debug boot --image 827d564a-e636-4fc4-a376- d36f7ebe1747 --flavor 1 --hint query=['>=','$free_ram_mb',1024] server1 my vm started with error, and the following were output from the command above +----------------------------- --------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | OS-DCF:diskConfig | MANUAL | | OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:host | None | | OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:hypervisor_hostname | None | | OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:instance_name | instance-0000002b | | OS-EXT-STS:power_state | 0 | | OS-EXT-STS:task_state | scheduling | | OS-EXT-STS:vm_state | error | | accessIPv4 | | | accessIPv6 | | | adminPass | dKvrsv4MZtfc | | config_drive | | | created | 2012-08-02T14:25:10Z | | flavor | m1.tiny | | hostId | | | id | 9d4a5855-3c69-40ba-b50d-3a2aa6a92edc | | image | cirros-0.3.0-x86_64-uec | | key_name | | | metadata | {} | | name | server1 | | progress | 0 | | status | BUILD | | tenant_id | d99ffa1b0c43455ab8dbbd81cf4380a7 | | updated | 2012-08-02T14:25:10Z | | user_id | d5e02f1810a44575b99a147f94507da1 | +-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ as you can see, the vm is in error, this also happens whenever I need to pass a hint to the scheduler, as in samehostfilter and differenthostfilter, Does anyone know what's going on, thanks in advance.
