[Rdo-list] RDO blog roundup,. week of September 28

[Rich Bowen]

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.

Running the Keystone Unit tests takes a long time. To start with a blank 
slate, you want to make sure you have the latest from master and a clean

Physics standard benchmark HepSpec06, we have started the deployment of 
those settings across the CERN OpenStack cloud,

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.
