Service high-availability is a core concern for any operator running, or intending to run, a production OpenStack cluster. Current “best practices” call for the deployment of a full cluster stack (generally Corosync + Pacemaker) and / or load-balancers (generally HAProxy) to manage service state and failover. While this is appropriate for a subset of OpenStack… Continue reading Providing OpenStack Service High-Availability Through Anycast Routing

Developing OpenStack Tooling without Python
OpenStack projects provide rich APIs with which operators and developers can write tooling to manage OpenStack resources. Every project has its own client, and there are a number of SDKs built around the APIs. However, the only official libraries are written in Python, leaving those of us who must develop in an alternate language to… Continue reading Developing OpenStack Tooling without Python

Building applications using the OpenStack SDK
In Paris, the OpenStack SDK was starting to take shape and we offered a look into why it’s being created and how it’s being done, including a few small examples. Now we’re able to build real applications on it and see the advantage first hand of bringing a better user experience to developers building software… Continue reading Building applications using the OpenStack SDK
Addressing a Telco’s Layer 3 needs with OpenStack Neutron and ODL integration
Being able to setup a layer-3 VPN is one of the important capabilities desired by the Telco Operators that is not addressed by OpenStack today. This TechTalk proposes to evolve OpenStack Neutron to set up a layer-3 VPN to provide overlay in data centers by directing an ODL (OpenDayLight) based SDN-C (Software Defined Network Controller).… Continue reading Addressing a Telco’s Layer 3 needs with OpenStack Neutron and ODL integration
