[openstack-community] HyperV authentication question
by Ata Bohra 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, I'm a newbie to Openstack and recently got started to look in to it. The task in hand is to look for feasible ways to manage/configure HyperV (2012 server) from a Linux host (SL 6.1). Earlier to the Openstack I was looking into "OpenWSMAN" (open source implementation for WSMAN specification by DTMF). The issue their was Openssh used by OpenWSMAN to establish connections to HyperV does not support "Kerberos" authentication and requires the server authentication to be lowered to "Basic". Browsing through "nova-compute" code it seems the HyperV driver is using "WMI" python library; does anyone knows if this library suffers from any such deficiencies? Thanks in advance. Regards, Ata

Highlights of the week OpenStack Grizzly <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/openstack-grizzly/> Done: OpenStack’s 7th release, called “Grizzly”, is out: thank you, the over 500 stackers who contributed and the many more who participated in the OpenStack Summit last October where this release was planned. This release, more than any before it, was driven by users who have been running OpenStack in production for the past year (or more) and have asked for broader support for the compute, storage, and networking technologies they trust and even greater scale and ease of operations. Mark Collier’s <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/04/openstack-grizzly/> post has a summary of the new features and a screencast of the updated OpenStack Dashboard. Building a Multi-Tier Application With OpenStack <http://blog.aaronorosen.com/building-a-multi-tier-application-with-openstac…> In his blog post Aaron Rosen <http://blog.aaronorosen.com/> shows how to build a simple multi-tier application on OpenStack, something that is made possible by the new features of OpenStack Grizzly: security groups and about Load-balancer-as-a-Service (LBaaS). Autoscale and Orchestration: the Heat of OpenStack <http://technicae.cogitat.io/2013/04/autoscale-and-orchestration-heat-of.html> Duncan McGreggor tells the story of how OpenStack orchestration service (codename Heat) is gaining new autoscaling features thanks to increased efforts by Rackspace. Following discussions at Pycon, Rackspace’s management decided to add two development teams to Heat and add some of the features that initially they were developing internally. Another good story of different companies collaborating inside the OpenStack Community. There will be no reliable cloud (part 1) <http://blog.hendrikvolkmer.de/2013/04/03/there-will-be-no-reliable-cloud-pa…> It’s the eternal debate about cloud and high availability, legacy enterprise applications and chaos monkeys. Hendrik Volkmer <http://blog.hendrikvolkmer.de/> shares his thoughts, summarised in “Stop wasting your time trying to find one”. His suggestion: With all that free time, start to build reliable systems on top of unreliable clouds. Grizzly, the day after <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/grizzly-the-day-after/> Thierry’s, our fine release manager, wrote his therapeutic post-release essay, balancing the excitement of the new release and the sadness of all the things that could have done better. Put on relaxing music, sit back on the chair and listen like any therapist would do.

[openstack-community] OpenStack in the.org pavilion at the MySQL Users Conference and Expo - let's make it work!
by Kathy Cacciatore 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Thanks to Mark Atwood for fielding the offer for an OpenStack presence at the MySQL conference in the Santa Clara Convention Center. I spoke to the .org pavilion organizer today. The offer is no charge and includes a 6' table, chairs, sign and 1 electrical outlet (no Internet). We can do this with enough volunteers. I'll support it by drawing up a booth volunteer schedule and shipping the following: - tablecloth - hanging banner - 6' popup quickscreen summarizing the software - collateral - stickers to giveaway - pens to giveaway - videos and ppt presentations in a Dropbox for advance download to laptops (no monitor rental; and no Internet for onsite download) Mark has offered to setup and Colin McNamara has volunteered for Wednesday, I assume for the daytime hours. We need a bunch of volunteers to make this work. The expo hours are Monday, 4/22, 1:00-4:15 setup (Mark Atwood) Monday, 4/22 4:30-6:30 opening reception Tuesday, 4/23 10:20-5:20 Wednesday 4/24: 10:20-4:50 (Colin McNamara) and 6-9pm reception Thursday, 4/25: 10:45-1:20 Thursday, 4/25 1:20-3:45 teardown, packing, return shipping. If possible to commit by Thursday, we can get in the conference guide. Thanks everyone for making it happen!-- Regards, Kathy Cacciatore OpenStack Industry Event Planner 1-512-970-2807 (mobile) Part time: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2pm US CT kathyc(a)openstack.org

Highlights of the week Kwapi: an energy efficiency architecture <http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Blog/Kwapi+an+energy+efficiency+architecture?la…> XLcloud HPC project focuses on providing high performance HPC services, while improving energy efficiency. Kwapi makes a smart use of data collected by Ceilometer interfaced with wattmeters in order to introduce power consumption statistics in OpenStack Nova scheduling strategies. Kwapi is stored on StackForge <https://github.com/stackforge/kwapi> and a blueprint is available here <http://www.xlcloud.org/bin/view/XLcloudProjectManagement/EEA>. Logging and debugging in OpenStack <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/logging-and-debugging-in-openstack/> The importance of debugging is much more noticeable on large projects like OpenStack, which require both developers and common users contribute and report when something is not going well. In #openstack-101 Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/> met many people wanting to start contributing to OpenStack, but a lot of them didn't know how to provide the right information to see where the problem was when they were facing a blocker. A must read for anybody starting (and a handy bookmark to provide to people stuck somewhere). Announcing Climate, the OpenStack capacity leasing project <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2013/openstack-climate-capacity-leasing> A capacity leasing service is something really needed by service providers, especially in the context of cloud platforms dedicated to HPC style workload. Instead of building something really specific, the decision has been made to build a new standalone OpenStack components aiming to provide this kind of functionnality to OpenStack. In the spirit of others OpenStack components, it will be extensible to fullfil a large panel of needs around this problematic.

The NIC (and the network in general) is always thought of as a consumable resource involved in a data transfer.

[openstack-community] The OpenStack User Survey
by Stefano Maffulli 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hello folks, I ask the leaders of the user groups around the world to spread the word about the OpenStack User Survey. If you an OpenStack user or know of OpenStack deployments in your region, please take a few minutes to respond to our first User Survey or pass it along to your network. Our community has grown at an amazing rate in 2.5 years, and it’s time to better define our user base and requirements, so we can respond and advocate accordingly. Below you’ll find a link and instructions to complete the User Survey by April 1, 2013. It takes 10 minutes. Doing so will help us better serve the OpenStack user community, facilitate communication and engagement among our users as well as uncover new OpenStack users that might be willing to tell their stories publicly. Take the survey: https://www.openstack.org/user-survey/OrgInfo All of the information you provide is confidential to the Foundation and will be aggregated anonymously unless you clearly indicate we can publish your organization’s logo and profile at http://www.openstack.org/user-stories. Make sure to tune in to the User Committee when they present the aggregate findings of this important survey at the OpenStack Summit, April 15-18, in Portland, OR. For those unable to attend, we’ll share the presentation and have a video of the session to view after the event. Thank you again for your support. .stef

[openstack-community] New OpenStack Venezuela User Group
by Ender Mujica 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hello, We are deploying the first Private Open Cloud using OpenStack in Venezuela. 5 Cisco UCS (2x10 core and 128 GB RAM) + 20 TB on Netapp to store Images and VM (using live migration). With OpenStack we are going to get reduce highly the lapse between a Virtual Machine is requested and the VM is delivered. My team and I have been working hard to learn from scratch about OpenStack. We started our lab using Essex over 3 servers, first with ubuntu 12.04 and later with Centos 6 . When Folsom came out in October 2012 we reconfigured the lab to implement Quantum (to replace the nova-network). We presented the project to our staff (Manager and Coordinators) and they approved to deploy the cloud in our company. At this time, we have ready and automated the Operative System and OpenStack installation through scripts and the plan to configure and deploy a production enviroment has begun. Also, we've started the Venezuela OpenStack User Group because want to share our knowledment and experience but need to know how or some help to include the group inside https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_User_Groups We have: Google+ https://plus.google.com/communities/118105990522935078913 tweeter: @openstackve Google Groups https://groups.google.com/d/forum/openstack-ve Also, we reserve the domain openstack.org.ve. The next step will be hire a web server and with help of the Venezuelan's community to keep growing the group) This project and the Venezuela Group is a big and good challenge. Ing. Ender Mujica.

[openstack-community] [COMMUNITY] The path to Ask OpenStack
by Stefano Maffulli 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

[please reply only to community(a)lists.openstack.org] hello folks, we all push to improve how we interact with the OpenStack users, help newcomers find answers to their questions and ease their path to adoption. That's why we kickstarted the project Ask OpenStack. We're installing an instance of Askbot under the openstack.org domain, with the help of Askbot developers. It will have a custom skin and authentication based on Launchpad like the rest of our services. In the first phase it will support English and once we decide that we like it, we will start adding other languages so users will be able to ask questions and get answers in their own language. While the technical part of Ask is being done, I'd like to start talking about the organization of the content of the site, the static pages, etc. We'll probably also need moderators and OpenStack experts that can help answer questions on the site. If you want to help with these tasks please join the Community mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/community where we can discuss the project further. Thanks, stef

Highlights of the week We Wrote an OpenStack Operations Guide in 5 Days! <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-days/> OpenStack Operations Guide <http://www.openstack.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/OpenStackOpsGuide.…>And here it is...the OpenStack Operations Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/ops/>. You can read it in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or print <http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/openstack-operations-guide/13692…>. The electronic formats are free to download so click away. The print version costs $29.90 and all proceeds go to the OpenStack Foundation to support more book sprints like the one that produced this book. Read from the protagonists how they did it: Lorin <http://Lorin/>Hochstein <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/open-source-documentation-in…>, Everett <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-daysEvere…>Toews <http://blog.phymata.com/2013/03/07/we-wrote-openstack-ops-guide-5-days/>, Anne Gentle <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/03/we-did-it-zero-to-book-in-five-days/>. Case Study on OpenStack Cloud in Health Care <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/case-study-on-openstack-cloud-in-health-care/> Computing for health care and life sciences is rapidly adapting to opportunities created by new technologies for scalable data storage, elastic compute service resources, and data analytics. Given the powerful forces changing the economics of the overall health care marketplace, technologies that can address security and compliance at reduced cost are getting a lot of attention. OpenStack Object Storage and quotas in upcoming 1.8.0 (Grizzly) release. <http://www.enovance.com/fr/blog/5458/swift-and-quotas-in-upcoming-1-8-0-gri…> OpenStack Object Storage (codename Swift) will have two new middleware for managing quotas: container_quotas and account_quotas. The first, container_quotas, allows users to specify a limit on one of their containers. The account_quotas is more the typical quota implementation. A «super user» with the reselleradmin group/role can set a byte limit for an account and the account will not be able to have new objects/containers until someone cleanups his account to get under the limited quotas. OpenStack Updated Individual Contributor License Agreements <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/03/08/openstack-updated-individual-contributo…> Last weekend we updated the OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and all OpenStack contributors needed to sign a new individual agreement.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Feb 15 – 22)
by Stefano Maffulli 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Highlights of the week Important CLA changes coming this weekend <http://markmail.org/message/azrdwianmnt2j5oc> Starting on February 24, 2013 all contributors MUST review and agree to the new OpenStack Individual Contributor License Agreement and provide updated contact information at https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/agreements. On that day the Gerrit interface will be changing to present the new CLA text referring to the OpenStack Foundation, and will prompt you to agree to it there. Any previous agreement with OpenStack LLC will be marked expired at that time. The text of the new agreement is available for your convenience <https://review.openstack.org/static/cla.html> (changes “LLC” to “Foundation”, restores a sentence from ASF <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/22396/2/modules/openstack_project/files/ge…> and corrects a few typographical errors). You must also sign up for an OpenStack Foundation Individual Membership with the same E-mail address as used for your Gerrit contact information: http://openstack.org/register/. OpenStack outpaces Amazon, at least by hype <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-outpaces-amazon-at-least-by-hype/> A study conducted by TrendKite shows that at this point OpenStack has more media mentions than Amazon EC2, Eucalyptus, CloudStack and OpenNebula combined. If that is not enough, another chart from the same study appears to show that “OpenStack” media mentions are on par with that of “Cloud Computing.” CloudEnvy: Development in the cloud! <http://jake.ai/cloudenvy-development-in-the-cloud> Jake Dahn is working on a project called CloudEnvy which has potential to change the development patterns of web developers everywhere: it allows you to configure and distribute reproducible development environments in the cloud. Bring on the Crazy: Zero to Book in Five Days <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/02/bring-on-the-crazy-zero-to-book-in-fi…> Anne Gentle is leading a “crazy” project: a large, highly focused documentation sprint to write that operator’s guide — for operators by operators. Anne promised to pluck operators out of their day jobs, put them in a room, fuel them with coffee, BBQ, and TexMex, and get to writing. Sounds awesome to me: I’m voting for their panel On Writing the OpenStack Operations Manual in 5 Days <http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/vote-for-speakers/presentatio…> at the upcoming OpenStack Summit. The OpenStack Gate <http://dague.net/2013/02/21/the-openstack-gate/> The OpenStack project has a really impressive continuous integration system, which is one of its core strengths as a project. Every proposed change to our gerrit review <https://review.openstack.org/#/> system is subjected to a battery of tests on each commit, which has grown dramatically with time, and after formal review by core contributors, we run them all again before the merge. How can this gate merge hundreds of changes per day? Learn about Zuul, the OpenStack gatekeeper.

OpenStack Object Storage (aka Swift) for new contributors <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/12/03/swift-for-new-contributors/> As a developer, jumping into a mature codebase can be somewhat daunting. How is the code structured? What is the request flow? What’s the process for getting my changes contributed upstream? Find answers to these questions on this post by SwiftStack. Evolution of the incubation process <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-tc/2013-February/000119.html> The Technical Committee approved a set of changes to the incubation process, the process through which a project becomes part of the co-ordinated, integrated OpenStack release. One of the visible change is the switch from using the term “Core projects” to “Integrated”.

Highlights of the week Best way to brag about contributing to Grizzly? Contributors to OpenStack Folsom received a nice patch to stick on something you carry every day like a backpack or your favorite sweater. Would you like to get a patch for Grizzly, too? Would you rather get something else to brag about your ‘Contributor’ status? Let us know your preferences. Packstack: Openstack Install tool <http://blog.flaper87.org/post/511441160f06d34258e8a6ac/> There is a new tool that installs Openstack either on bare metal or Vms: it can be found on github under the fedora-openstack organization. Packstack is currently in its first ages and still under heavy development but, it’s already capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there’s space for more. Testing <http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/02/07/testing/> (OpenStack) Anita Kuno <http://anteaya.info/>, one of our awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new developers learning about OpenStack developer’s community. In this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests in /opt/stack/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn’t know. But now she does. Cloud Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack/> There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it’s one of the most popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack. Mirantis’ Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories: design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the winner. In a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work? <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/in-a-nutshell-how-openstack-works/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/>, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.

[openstack-community] Speakers for an OpenStack meetup
by Nicolae Paladi 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hey everyone, I've read recently on this mailing list about an idea of a "speakers list" for the meetups and wonder if there has been any progress on that. we're in the process of organizing a first OpenStack meetup in Stockholm<http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-User-Group-Nordics/> in April and I was wondering about getting some keynote speakers that have some visibility within the community to kick-start the event. Can you suggest any names that I could contact? regards, /Nico.

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Jan 11 – 18)

Highlights of the week My first week at OpenStack <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/my-first-week-at-openstack/> Victoria Martínez de la Cruz <http://vmartinezdelacruz.com/> is one of the three interns working on OpenStack under the Outreach Program for Women (OPW –Anne Gentle shared some details about the program before.) She will be working on Tenant Deletion Workflow <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/tenant-deletion> in the next months. This first blog post about OpenStack contains lots of good advice for any developer joining the community: a must read, for experienced developers, hiring managers and newcomers to this great community. Ceilometer Grizzly 2 Milestone Available <http://blog.doughellmann.com/2013/01/ceilometer-grizzly-2-milestone-availab…> The Ceilometer team is proud to announce the first synchronous milestone delivery with the OpenStack <http://openstack.org/> project. Grizzly-2 <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/+milestone/grizzly-2> is also the last Folsom compatible version of Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> as we are planning to introduce some breaking changes very soon in our trunk to enable a totally new set of features bringing Ceilometer beyond basic metering into monitoring and alerting. How many people does one need to build a multi-region cloud? <http://freedomhui.com/2013/01/stacklabhow-many-people-it-needs-to-build-a-m…> Hui Cheng describes in details the StackLab project. Spearheaded by Sina, Intel, Gamewave, Xi’an Jiaotong University, South China University of Technology and others, it’s a non profit platform to try and test OpenStack. Sina’s OpenStack development team was responsible for the development, operations, and go online initially. More volunteers have joined the effort and are actively being recruited to get involved to this great career, which will accelerate OpenStack popularizing in China. An Image Transfers Service For OpenStack <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/an-image-transfers-service-f…> John Bresnahan <https://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/> makes the case for a new transfer service component in OpenStack. IaaS clouds must transfer VM images from the repositories in which they reside to compute nodes where they are booted. In the current state of OpenStack images download via HTTP to a nova-compute client speaking to the Glance image service. In the future proposed by John a transfers service would provide more predictable quality of service with horizontal scalability. Check his idea. Ceilomenter is looking for volunteers to take on unassigned blueprints <http://lists.openstack/> The team is about to start implementing the blueprints for the g3 milestone, there are few blueprints which still don’t have anyone assigned to them. If you are looking for something useful to code, head over to see the list of things that you could be working on. Remember that contributions during the Grizzly lifecycle will get you a free ticket to the OpenStack Summit.

[openstack-community] oVirt workshop coming up in Sunnyvale, California
by Dave Neary 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi everyone, There's an oVirt workshop being held in Sunnyvale, California, on 22-24 January 2013, which I thought might be of interest to many here. http://www.ovirt.org/NetApp_Workshop_January_2013 - you can register free for the event at http://ovirtnetapp2013.eventbrite.com/ For those who don't know, oVirt is a datacenter virtualisation project, which is the upstream project for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation (think open source vSphere and you're not far off). There are a few OpenStack specific topics on the agenda - including one session specifically on Quantum and oVirt, and another session ("oVirt Roadmap") on the oVirt project roadmap, which will explore other potential integration points between oVirt and OpenStack (VDSM or oVirt drivers for Nova, integration of Glance into oVirt, etc). There is also BOF space available on day 3 where I would love to see a BOF exploring potential integration and co-operation between the projects. I wasn't sure if this would be on-topic for the list, so I checked with Stefano first - please do let me know if this kind of event is off-topic, and I'll abstain in the future. I thought that there was sufficient overlap both in technology and project scope that some of you would be interested, or perhaps just curious. Thanks! I look forward to seeing some of you there. Regards, Dave Neary. -- Dave Neary - Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

Hi everyone, I think many of you have heard, but we've officially locked down the Oregon Convention Center, April 15-18, in Portland for the OpenStack Spring 2013 Summit. As usual, we’ll have a variety of content and tracks, ranging from user stories and technical deep dives to hands-on workshops. If you’d like to submit a presentation, panel or workshop, the call for speakers is now open and will close February 15. http://www.openstack.org/summit/portland-2013/call-for-speakers If you are interested in submitting a session for the Design Summit, a special track planning the development work to be implemented in the “H” release, there will be a separate system opening closer to the Grizzly feature freeze and closing after the Grizzly release in April. Summit attendees will again vote on speaking submissions to help determine which presentations are the best fit for our Spring Summit. We’ll also have subject matter experts serving as track chairs to make sure all of our audiences are well-served. If you are interested in being a track chair, please send me a note. The voting system will open on February 18, with the goal of locking the agenda by March 11. Event registration and discount hotel rates will be available the week of January 14. We will again be sending free Summit registration codes to Active Technical Contributors who contributed to the Folsom release up to the Grizzly-3 milestone (February 21). Please check your email and the site for more details and instructions as they become available. http://www.openstack.org/summit For an idea of what to expect, check out our recap video from the Fall 2012 OpenStack Summit that was held in San Diego: http://youtu.be/mbcC8Frb_Hc Please mark your calendars and plan to attend – we look forward to seeing you in Portland!

Highlights of the week -- Holiday edition Happy holidays from the whole team at the OpenStack Foundation. We wish you a merry time to spend with your beloved ones. DevStack on openSUSE, or how to quickly setup OpenStack on openSUSE <http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2012/12/21/DevStack-on-openSUSE%2C-or-how…> DevStack is a set of shell scripts to build complete OpenStack development environments. It is useful to create a small OpenStack environment that will be used for hacking, testing, etc. and is therefore primarily used for upstream development. Vincent Untz got DevStack to work on openSUSE. Ten Useful Openstack Swift Features <http://www.17od.com/2012/12/19/ten-useful-openstack-swift-features/> Adrian Smith goes through some of the new features introduced in Swift 1.7.5 and their implication. If you want to learn about CORS support <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/misc.html#cors-headers>, Etag, Object versioning and other nice features read his post. Introducing OpenStack Packstack <http://goodsquishy.com/2012/12/introducing-openstack-packstack/> Derek Higgins developed a tool that is capable of installing OpenStack in a distributed environment using some of the most common configurations. Packstack can be used to transform Fedora 17/18, RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 servers into a functional Openstack Folsom deployment. The tool ssh's onto each server and apply's puppet manifests to set openstack up. On his blog post Derek outlines how to use his Packstack on Fedora 17. A look at individual membership in the OpenStack Foundation <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/a-look-at-individual-membership-in-the-opensta…> It's no secret that I like numbers and charts. If you like them too, then David Fishman's post is a must read for the holidays. Davide took a snapshot of the membership of the OpenStack Foundation using the publicly available data. Who are these people and what are their affiliations? What if anything does it say about the use and uptake of OpenStack cloud? What doesn't it say? And, like any data, what other useful questions does it raise? Remember that the OpenStack Foundation elections are coming <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/> and the holidays may be a good time to get to know the candidates <http://www.openstack.org/election/2013-board-election/CandidateList> for the Board of Directors.

Hi everyone, I am the relatively new OpenStack Foundation industry events planner. I'll post this kind of request for community support for events from time to time. The Open Compute Project has provided OpenStack with a very nice 10' x 10' booth at the OCP Summit January 16-17 2013, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California. The Foundation staff cannot attend, unfortunately. We're looking for volunteers to staff the booth. The Expo Hall is open both days from 8am - 6pm with peak times over breaks and lunch. Volunteers will have full conference access to attend keynotes, sessions, and evening cocktail party in addition to speaking with potential developers and users in the booth. We will provide everything needed (except travel expenses) including videos for the large monitor, collateral, OpenStack logo'd backdrop and more. Please reply to me directly at [mailto:kathyc@openstack.org] kathyc(a)openstack.org, by end of day Wednesday, December 19 if interested. Thank you!-- Regards, Kathy Cacciatore OpenStack Industry Event Planner 1-512-970-2807 (mobile) Part time: Monday - Thursday, 9am - 2pm US CT kathyc(a)openstack.org

[openstack-community] Cyprus Openstack community: Need help to prepare for a presentation
by S.Charalambous 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hello everyone, I have been invited from some organizations in Cyprus to go and give a presentation about Openstack. I attended the EMEA Openstack conference in London and I really like the slides that Jonathan Bryce and Jim Curry did. I would love to get their slides if possible. Do you know how can I do this since I don't have their emails. My audience will be people that are interested in technologies. So I will need to introduce Openstack to them. Do you know any other slides or videos I can use to prepare? Or if you have slides that you can share please send them to me. Thank you for you help in advance. Sergios Charalambous

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Nov 30 – Dic 14)
by Stefano Maffulli 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Highlights of the weeks What people talk about when they talk about OpenStack Cloud <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/what-people-talk-about-when-they-talk-about-op…> There’s enough going on in the OpenStack <http://www.mirantis.com/openstack-services/> ecosystem that you can pretty much find a comfortable niche drilling down on anything from hypervisor compatibility to driver support to who’s in the foundation. Mirantis’ David M. Fishman takes a step back and highlights recent conversations about OpenStack. *Welcome New Outreach Program for Women Interns <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/12/welcome-new-outreach-program-for-wome…>* With a flurry of applications, we had a difficult decision in front of us, deciding who would be our newest mentored contributors through the GNOME Outreach Program for Women <https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen>. All the applicants were enthusiastic and personable, knowledgeable and technical. We’re pleased to announce that the decisions have been made and these three are going to work on OpenStack full-time from January to March. Please welcome Laura, Anita and Victoria to the OpenStack community. *Making sense of SDN with–and without–HW-based networking in OpenStack Cloud <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/making-sense-of-sdn-with-and-without-hw-based-…>* There’s a tremendous amount of talk about the shift in the networking business from hardware-bound networking to Software Defined Network. Mirantis’ Greg Elkinbard gives an overview of SDN in OpenStack world. *OpenStack Board of Directors Talks: Episode 1 with Rob Hirschfeld, Principal Cloud Architect at Dell <http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/b/techcenter/archive/2012/12/06/ope…>* Learn firsthand about OpenStack, its challenges and opportunities, market adoption and Dell’s engagement in the community. Rafael Knuth’s goal is to interview all 24 members of the OpenStack board, and will post these talks sequentially at Dell TechCenter.

[openstack-community] animation of OpenStack logo
by Atwood, Mark 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi! At the OpenStack summit in San Diego, I noticed some presentation Interstitials that had an animated OpenStack logo, that showed the layers of the stack falling from above and forming the logo. Is that animation available, or did some company just hack it together for there own slides? ..m -- Mark Atwood <mark.atwood(a)hp.com> Director - Open Source Evangelism for HP Cloud Services +1-206-473-7118

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (Nov 16-30)
by Stefano Maffulli 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Highlights of the weeks OpenStack Outreach Program for Women Still Accepting Candidates <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-…> We are constantly moving and growing and very excited to invite newcomers to our community. To this end, the OpenStack Foundation has joined the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. The Women in OpenStack group has already found some mentors for the program and ideas for projects are flowing in. If you know women that may be interested in joining OpenStack please tell them to read our blog post <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-…> with more details. The deadline is approaching (Dec 3) and we still have place for candidates. OpenStack Nova, Glance, Keystone, Cinder, Quantum and Horizon 2012.2.1 released <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2012-November/00005…> The OpenStack Stable Branch Maintainers Team has been busy selectively back-porting bugfixes to the stable/folsom branch according to our "safe source of high-impact fixes" criteria documented on the wiki page StableBranch <http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch>. We're happy to announce the 2012.2.1 release, the first in the series of releases to make available the bugfixes from stable/folsom. A total of 139 bugs have been fixed in this release, which is a higher than the usual volume of fixes in a stable release. What to expect from Grizzly-1 milestone <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2012/11/23/what-to-expect-from-grizzly-1-milest…> The first milestone of the OpenStack Grizzly development cycle is just out <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-announce/2012-November/00005…>. What should you expect from it? What significant new features were added? With more than 399 bugfixes landing in this milestone, Grizzly-1 contains already lots of new features. Thierry's blog post adds details for what changed in each component. Developing OpenStack Dashboard using Fedora <http://www.matthias-runge.de/2012/11/20/developing-openstack-dashboard-usin…> Many developers recommend using devstack <http://devstack.org/> to work on OpenStack. Matthias Runge <http://www.matthias-runge.de/> doesn't recommend that for Dashboard (Dan Berrange <http://berrange.com/> has an article providing more details <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/20/what-devstack-does-to-your-host-when-s…>). Good news is, at least for OpenStack's dashboard, devstack is not required in any case, it just runs on plain Fedora. Matthias swears that the instructions provided for Fedora's test day <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-09-18_OpenStack> worked great, no rocket science and no engineering master required. What DevStack does to your host when setting up OpenStack on Fedora 17 <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/20/what-devstack-does-to-your-host-when-s…> DevStack is one of those huge, massive scripts that requires super user access to your machine. Understanding what it does to your setup is pretty complex. Daniel P. Berrangé <http://berrange.com/> did most of the work for us investigating just what DevStack does to a Fedora 17 host when it is run. Fascinating read. The Future of Incubation and Core <http://blogs.gnome.org/markmc/2012/11/17/the-future-of-incubation-and-core/> Mark McLoughlin summarizes quite well the ongoing discussion to define the future of Incubation nd Core. The OpenStack Technical Committee <http://www.openstack.org/foundation/technical-committee/> and the OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors <http://www.openstack.org/foundation/board-of-directors/> have pretty separate sets of responsibilities and can get on with their work independently. One exception to that is the inclusion of new projects in OpenStack. In the coming weeks, members of the two bodies will decide how to clarify confusion around the term "core project" and what exactly happens projects who graduate through OpenStack's Incubation process. A thread on the openstack-dev mailing list <http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2012-November/thread.htm…> is ongoing and is a great example of how a mailing list discussion can actually help to drive a rough consensus while still giving everyone an opportunity to express their views.// Driving a 100 Gigabit Network with OpenStack <http://buriedlede.blogspot.com/2012/11/driving-100-gigabit-network-with.html> Argonne National Laboratory is interested in building IaaS cloud systems that perform similarly to traditional HPC cluster-style systems for one of their projects. Narayan Desai <https://plus.google.com/111442327943164013992> reports on the work to validate the ability of an Openstack system to drive large quantities of network bandwidth, memory to memory. *Go to Australia in January for an OpenStack day at LCA2013 <http://bit.ly/Waue30>* Being held in January in Canberra, Australia, linux.conf.au is one of the foremost open source conferences in the world, and is considered the most prestigious in the southern hemisphere. Linux.conf.au's first ever OpenStack miniconf day is being held Jan 29, and we expect over 200 people will be attending the miniconf alone, with hundreds more attending the week long conference.

[openstack-community] Broadening community blueprint involvement
by Sean Roberts 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

Hi there, fellow community members! We are rapidly coming up on the first milestone delivery of grizzy. How can we, the community at large, support the development efforts? A few of us have been thinking about just that. Here are the major points that we have come up with and we want to discuss amongst the community at large. 1. A lot of information is coming out of the meetups and user group meetings. How do we gather and organize that stuff? 2. How do the summit sessions, blueprints, summit ideas/proposals, and videos flow and interconnect? 3. How can we increase the awareness and participation with blueprints? Points 1 and 2, will take some community discussion and tool development. We have ideas, lets discuss! Point 3, I think we can tackle now. I plan on taking the three lists below and linking them. If you fall under one of the lists below, I will be reaching out to you very soon and organizing the date and times that we can have blueprint meetings/meetups. * List of meetup and user group locations with their owners * List of accepted grizzy blueprints g2-3 with their owners * Available date and times for meetings/meetups -- sean

Re: [openstack-community] [OpenStack APEC] Next OSAC planning (Let's share ideas)

Hi Yoyo I've started looking into the processes and criteria used by Debian and OpenOffice.org for their own international conferences. I realised that OpenOffice.org content got lost (the server they used for the conferences doesn't exist anymore) and Debian's processes are in a lot of mailing list messages :( In any case I suggest that we start listing our own criteria and priorities that will help us make a decision. We can start now, I've drafted an etherpad. Please add your thoughts there: https://etherpad.openstack.org/InternationalSummitCriteria Once we get a decent list of criteria we can prioritize them and decide how to make it an official part of the candidatures. Cheers, stef PS I cc the international community group because I think this is a topic we should discuss widely with other communities too.

Highlights of the week OpenStack Outreach Program for Women Accepting Candidates <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/11/openstack-outreach-program-for-women-…> OpenStack provides open source software for building public and private clouds. We are constantly moving and growing and very excited to invite newcomers to our community. To this end, the OpenStack Foundation has joined the GNOME Outreach Program for Women <https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen>. Join the list of mentors, contribute ideas <http://wiki.openstack.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/Ideas>, apply as intern. What's new in libvirt for the OpenStack Nova Folsom release <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/16/what-was-new-in-libvirt-for-the-openst…> Even if Folsom has been out for a while now, Daniel P. Berrangé <http://berrange.com/> provided a little more detail on some of the changes he was involved with making to the libvirt driver and what motivated them. Why to refactor the virt disk API in Nova <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/15/692/> When launching a virtual machine, Nova <http://openstack.org/> has the ability to inject various files into the disk image immediately prior to boot up. Nova runs as an unprivileged user, and the guest files to be changed are typically owned as root. This means all the file injection commands need to run via Nova's rootwrap utility to gain root privileges. It should come as little surprise that this has already resulted in a security vulnerability / CVE <https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg14089.html> against Nova. The solution to this class of security problems is to decouple the file injection code from the host filesystem. Read more on Daniel's blog post <http://berrange.com/posts/2012/11/15/692/>. Swift 1.7.5 Released <http://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/11/14/swift-1.7.5-release/> Swift 1.7.5 has been released. This release is the work of twenty-seven contributors and includes several important new features and bug fixes. Making keystoneclient python library a little easier to work with <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2012/11/11/making-keystoneclient-python-library-…> A quick guide to using the python keystoneclient library and some of its new features, with v2 API examples throughout. Installing OpenStack Nova Compute on Hyper-V <http://www.cloudbase.it/installing-openstack-nova-compute-on-hyper-v/> A lot of work went on OpenStack and Hyper-V integration, with the result of bringing back Hyper-V in the Nova sources <https://github.com/openstack/nova> in time for the Folsom release. Get started with OpenStack and Hyper-V using the installer developed by Cloudbase Solutions.

Highlights of the week The future of Incubation and Core <http://markmail.org/message/hmc2cmf3wycrqhpe> Incubation is currently an OpenStack project status that grants a promising project more access to OpenStack shared resources, especially in the CI, release management and QA space. The level of maturity reached by OpenStack requires revising the concept of 'Core project' and the incubation process. Join the discussion and help the Technical Committee form an opinion for the Foundation's Board. OpenStack Keystone plans for the Grizzly release <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2012/11/08/openstack-keystone-plans-for-the-griz…> Joe Heck published the plans for Keystone over the Grizzly release cycle. To read after going through the state of the project slides <http://www.slideshare.net/ccjoe/oct-2012-state-of-project-keystone>. OpenStack Image Service -- Grizzly Planning <http://bcwaldon.cc/2012/11/06/openstack-image-service-grizzly.html> The primary objective of Glance is to publish a catalog of virtual machine images. Rather than own users' image data, Glance simply tracks where that data resides. Glance owns the metadata provided by users. Brian Waldon summarizes the plans for Glance over the Grizzly release cycle. FOSDEM 2013: Cloud Devroom -- Call for Participation <http://markmail.org/message/di5u4o5bskmzrti3> The organizers of the Cloud devroom at FOSDEM 2012 invite you to submit a session proposal. The purpose of this devroom is to serve as a meeting point for cloud infrastructure projects, including a unique opportunity for discussion and collaboration between developers from different projects. This devroom will be focused on open source cloud infrastructure projects.

[openstack-community] Looking for a mailman administrator
by Stefano Maffulli 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hello folks, We need a new administrator for the mailman installation on lists.openstack.org. Duncan McGreggor has helped the community a lot in the past months, setting up the new machine, configuring and testing mailman's upgrades from the old servers and running the setup since June. I'm very grateful to him for this. He just communicated to me that he can't take care of lists.openstack.org anymore. The person should be familiar with mailman and have time to help migrate the General list from Launchpad to lists.openstack.org, as we agreed. If you (know somebody that) want to do it please contact me offlist. Thank you, Stefano

Julien Danjou <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/>, a contributor to the Ceilometer <http://launchpad.net/ceilometer> project, gives a look at this project and how it could overlap with Ceilometer or other projects like Heat <http://www.heat-api.org/>. Why OpenStack doesn't need a Linus Torvalds <http://fnords.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/why-openstack-doesnt-need-a-linus-to…> As comparing OpenStack with Linux becomes an increasingly popular exercise <http://www.devx.com/blog/is-openstack-the-linux-of-cloud.html>, it's only natural that people and press articles start to ask where the Linus of OpenStack is, or who the Linus of OpenStack <http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/102412-openstack-linus-263659.html?hp…> should be. This assumes that technical leaders could somehow be appointed in OpenStack. This assumes that the single dictator model is somehow reproducible or even desirable. And this assumes that the current technical leadership in OpenStack is somehow lacking. Thierry Carrez thinks all those three assumptions are wrong. Preauthorization in Keystone <http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/preauthorization-in-keystone/> Sometimes you need to authorize a service to perform an action on your behalf. Often, that action takes place long after any authentication token you can provide would have expired. Currently, the only mechanism in Keystone that people can use is to share credentials. Adam Young <http://adam.younglogic.com/> argues: We can do better. New wiki page: Software Development Kits <http://wiki.openstack.org/SDKs> SDKs are a vital part of any ecosystem and we need to start treating them as such in OpenStack. To do so we need to raise the profile and legitimacy of SDKs that support OpenStack. Heat version 7 released <http://markmail.org/message/teb4mvtru6ismk7a> Heat allows you to launch AWS CloudFormation templates on OpenStack. CloudFormation is a programmable interface and templating system for orchestrating multiple cloud applications. This version adds an OpenStack-native ReST API.

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.

[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

[openstack-community] Regarding Tempest for Integration testing of Openstack Environment
by Girija Sharan 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

Hello, I am trying to do Integration testing of Openstack environmment (Devstack) using Tempest. I have my setup with multi node installation of Devstack i.e. one controller and one compute node. On controller node I am having my Tempest root directory and I have also installed Coverage, Tissue and Openstack-nose as it was mentioned in the setup.cfg file. I have also changed the tempest.conf file according to my localrc file. I am totally new to Tempest and trying to have hand on this. Currently I am running tests in the directory " tempest/tests ". But although most of the tests are OK, I am getting some tests FAILED and in some tests some errors (I have attached a file containing its total output). I am having some issues like : 1). whenever I am running any test I am getting a WARNING. I am running using : ~/tempest$ nosetests -v --with-tissue --tissue-color --with-openstack tempest/tests 2). when I am running entire tempest/tests it is showing total 350 tests, but where are all these tests. I am not finding them anywhere ? 3). when I ran tempest/tests/network and tempest/tests/image individually, I got 0 test results. Don't know why it is so ? 4). I want to understand the test scripts already provided and then to write my own. But I am not getting that from where (which test) I should start because I am new to Python also ? 5). I want to now more about functioning of Tempest and Nose. Could you please suggest me some useful tutorials or links for beginners. I am attaching a file containing the test results on my setup. Thanks and Regards, Girija Sharan Singh

[openstack-community] OpenStack Summit Tracks & Topics
by Lauren Sell 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hi everyone, We're planning the next OpenStack Summit, October 15-18, and wanted share the current thinking around tracks/topics and get input. Based on the feedback from the last event, people wanted more design summit working sessions, more conference-style sessions (presentations/panels) and more hands-on workshops. To accommodate more content overall, the previously separate Design Summit (3 days) and Conference (2 days) events now run in parallel as one OpenStack Summit (4 days). You can review the original community discussion about the format change here --http://www.openstack.org/blog/2012/06/openstack-summit-coming-october-15th-19th-to-san-diego-ca/ This means if you're a developer attending the Design Summit, you would attend Monday - Thursday. If you're a technical practitioner, you may also want to attend all four days for the Operations Summit (we're dedicating more time to it this year) and workshops happening Monday and Thursday. But for the majority of folks, the main days of the Summit with keynote speakers and presentations/panels will be Tuesday and Wednesday. We have a public google doc with the list of proposed tracks, including the Design Summit topics, and a short description of each. We've also included a proposed schedule to give a general idea how things would run, but there might be some minor adjustments. Proposed Tracks & Schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmUn0hzC1InKdEtNWVpRckt4R0Z0Q0… Speaking submissions for the conference-style content are live http://www.openstack.org/summit/san-diego-2012/call-for-speakers/ (basically everything except the Design Summit working sessions which will open for submissions in the next few weeks), and the deadline is August 30. New this time around, we want to publish all of the conference-style submissions for community vote (similar to SXSW panel picker if you're familiar), which would go live early September. We are also planning to have track chairs from various disciplines and organizations help fill in the gaps and shape out the rest of the schedule. Please take a look at the google doc, and we would appreciate any feedback on the current tracks -- whether the topic is not necessary or needs less time, there's something missing, or the definition/scope could be changed. Thanks! Lauren

[openstack-community] OpenStack Community Weekly Newsletter (July 27-Aug 3)

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.
