Hong Kong Summit – Registration, Call for Sponsors Now Open! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/06/hong-kong-summit-registration-call-for-speakers-sponsors-now-open/> ???????????????????? ???????, ???????? <http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/> Benchmarking Performance of OpenStack Swift Configurations <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-swift-configurations-performance-benchmarking/> The latest OpenStack Object Storage Swift release 1.9.0 features full global clusters support <https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG>, which allows to /distribute one cluster over multiple, geographically dispersed sites, connected through a high-latency network/. Mirantis published a brief introduction to how to use benchmarks to take full advantage of the new features. Hardware Extension for Ceilometer <http://www.cloudcomp.ch/2013/07/hardware-extension-for-ceilometer/> Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> is a monitoring tool for OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> cloud environments. In the next OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> release called Havana it will take part as a core component. However, Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> is also available for the OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> releases Folsom and Grizzly. Currently Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> offers only data of the OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> core components and the virtual machines of the cloud. For this reason the ICCLab <http://www.cloudcomp.ch/> decided to extend Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> in a way that it is possible to collect data from hardware devices as well. An Introduction to OpenStack Orchestration <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/07/30#openstack-orchestration-introduction> The forthcoming Havana (2013.2) release of OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> will mark the debut of orchestration as part of the official release. It arrives in the form of the Heat <https://wiki.openstack.org/Heat> project, which kicked off in early 2012 and graduated from incubation into OpenStack-proper after the Havana Summit in March this year.
