Boris Renski didn't resist answering to all of them. How Sina Contributes to OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/10/how-sina-contributes-to-openstack/> Sina keeps increasing its investments on OpenStack: not only code contributions for theFolsom release but also promotion of the project all across China and StackLab.org <http://StackLab.org/> (since trystack.org is not accessible from China). XenServer 6.1, XCP 1.6 and OpenStack Folsom <http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/10/10/xenserver-6-1-xcp-1-6-and-openstack-fols…> In other words, what Citrix contributed to Folsom: lots of nice things. How swift is your Swift? Benchmarking OpenStack Swift. <http://www.zmanda.com/blogs/?p=947> The OpenStack Swift project has been developing at a tremendous pace. The version 1.6.0 was released in August followed by 1.7.4 (Folsom <http://wiki.openstack.org/ReleaseNotes/Folsom>) just after two months! In these two recent releases, many important features have also been implemented, for example the optimization for using SSD, object versioning, StatsD logging and much more -- many of these features have significant implications for performance planning for the cloud builders and operators. Zmanda talks about benchmarks for Swift. What prevents you from becoming a contributor to OpenStack. <http://syedarmani.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-start-contributing-to-opensta…> Syed Armani asked to participants to Indian OpenStack user group meetings what prevents them to become contributors. Interesting findings, we may want to expand the survey.

[openstack-community] Boot from volume (Ceph RBD) and live migration
by Samuel Hassine, Another Service 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Hi, I just joined this list and I already have a question: We successfully: - launched instances with lib/nova/instances directory on a Ceph partition, and performed live migration between physical nodes - launched instances from a nova-volume (boot on volume) which was a Ceph Rados Block Device (RBD) My question is: is the live migration feature working with instances that booted from a nova volume (volume is shared between all nodes)? Is someone already tried this type of usage? Thanks for your answer. Best regards. Sam
