Here's what RDO enthusiasts have been writing about over the past week.
If you're writing about RDO, or about OpenStack on CentOS, Fedora or
RHEL, and you're not on my list, please let me know!
OpenContrail on the controller side by Sylvain Afchain
In my previous post I explained how packets are forwarded from point to
point within OpenContrail. We saw the tools available to check what are
the routes involved in the forwarding. Last time we focused on the agent
side but now we are going to understand on another key component: the
controller..

Highly available virtual machines in RHEL OpenStack Platform 7 by Steve
Gordon
OpenStack provides scale and redundancy at the infrastructure layer to
provide high availability for applications built for operation in a
horizontally scaling cloud computing environment. It has been designed
for applications that are “designed for failure” and voluntarily
excluded features that would enable traditional enterprise applications,
in fear of limiting its’ scalability and corrupting its initial goals.
These traditional enterprise applications demand continuous operation,
and fast, automatic recovery in the event of an infrastructure level
failure. While an increasing number of enterprises look to OpenStack as
providing the infrastructure platform for their forward-looking
applications they are also looking to simplify operations by
consolidating their legacy application workloads on it as well.

Ossipee by Adam Young
OpenStack is a big distributed system. FreeIPA is designed for security
in distributed system. In order to develop and test each of them,
separately or together, I need a distributed system. Virtualization has
been a key technology for making this kind of work possible. OpenStack
is great of managing virtualization. Added to that is the benefits found
when one “Fly our own airplanes.” Thus, I am using OpenStack to develop
OpenStack.
