The Multi-hypervisor OpenStack Cloud: Are We There Yet? One of the visions for OpenStack is for it to be the unifying common fabric for all cloud and infrastructure components in the enterprise. Literally, this would mean that all hypervisors, storage systems, and networking services from different vendors could be offered to users and orchestrated under… Continue reading The Multi-hypervisor OpenStack Cloud: Are We There Yet?

Providing OpenStack Service High-Availability Through Anycast Routing
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
