Further details by Julien Danjou for Ceilometer <http://julien.danjou.info/blog/2013/openstack-ceilometer-havana-1-milestone-released> The challenge of the network <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/the-challenge-of-the-network/> Lorin Hochstein <http://lorinhochstein.wordpress.com/> shared a very detailed story about debugging the network in OpenStack-powered instances. The story starts with a familiar message: I can't connect to the instance. Hopefully his story will be shared by generations of new OpenStack users and become legend. Travel less, save more: introducing the OpenStack volume affinity filter <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/travel-less-save-more-introducing-openstack-volume-affinity-filter/> It is a common desire to have some storage space associated with an instance running on cloud. It is also a common desire to have access to it be as fast as possible. OpenStack doesn't provide a way to fine-tune this particular option out of the box. Mirantis engineer Alexey Ovchinnikov <http://www.mirantis.com/author/alexey-ovchinnikov/> discusses how Mirantis implemented just such an extension, what roadblocks have already been encountered, and what problems one may encounter when using it.
