The anatomy of an action: mining the event storm

A key feature when monitoring and debugging any Cloud infrastructure is to provide the ability to trace, track, and collate all the individual, discrete steps that compose an event. A typical resource action in OpenStack is often a combination of smaller tasks — which given the distributed nature of OpenStack — can fail at unpredictable… Continue reading The anatomy of an action: mining the event storm

Moving an AWS Workload to OpenStack

You’ve decided to make the switch to OpenStack. Great! Now what do you do with all of those apps already running on Amazon Web Services? Fortunately, you can move them. That’s not to say it’s simple or straightforward. OpenStack’s functionality doesn’t always match that of AWS, and custom kernels on AWS machines make it impossible… Continue reading Moving an AWS Workload to OpenStack

Orchestration Tool Roundup: Kubernetes vs. Heat vs. Fleet vs. MaestroNG vs. TOSCA

It’s no news that containers represent a portable unit of deployment, and OpenStack has proven an ideal environment for running container workloads. However, where it usually becomes more complex is that many times an application is often built out of multiple containers.What’s more, setting up a cluster of container images can be fairly cumbersome because… Continue reading Orchestration Tool Roundup: Kubernetes vs. Heat vs. Fleet vs. MaestroNG vs. TOSCA
