Setting up a local caching proxy for Fedora YUM repositories, by Daniel
Berrange
For my day-to-day development work I currently have four separate
physical servers, one old x86_64 server for file storage, two new x86_64
servers and one new aarch64 server. Even with a fast fibre internet
connection, downloading the never ending stream of Fedora RPM updates
takes non-negligible time. I also have cause to install distro chroots

Rippowam, by Adam Young
Ossipee started off as OS-IPA. As it morphed into a tool for building
development clusters,I realized it was more useful to split the building
of the cluster from the Install and configuration of the application on
that cluster. To install IPA and OpenStack, and integrate them together,
we now use an ansible-playbook called Rippowam.

In-use Volume Backups in Cinder by Gorka Eguileor
Prior to the Liberty release of OpenStack, Cinder backup functionality
was limited to available volumes; but in the latest L release, the
possibility to create backups of in-use volumes was added, so let’s have
