Moving on..

Seeing as the election for the OpenStack Project Policy Board is going on, it seems only fair to announce that I quite soon no longer will be working for Rackspace. Instead, I will be working (still on OpenStack) for Nebula. If this is material to your vote, I apologise for not disclosing this earlier, but [...]

Testing of OpenStack

By On 2011-08-18 · 1 Comment

I’d like to take a couple of minutes of your time to talk about testing of OpenStack. Swift has always had very good test coverage, and Glance also does pretty well, so I’ll mostly be focused on Nova. (Psst… If you can’t be bothered to read the whole thing, just skip down to the how [...]

PPA management tools

By On 2011-06-17 · 5 Comments

We use PPA’s quite heavily in OpenStack. Each of the core projects have a trunk PPA and a milestone-proposed PPA. Every commit to our bzr trunk branch results in an upload to the trunk PPA, and every commit to our milestone-proposed bzr branch results in an upload to (you guessed it) the milestone-proposed PPA. Additionally, [...]

Another week of Openstack stabilisation

By On 2011-02-21 · 1 Comment

I got good feedback on last week’s post about the stuff I’d achieved in Openstack, so I figured I’d do the same this week. We left the hero of our tale (that would be me (it’s my blog, I can entitle myself however I please)) last Friday somewhat bleary eyed, hacking on a mountall patch [...]

With OpenStack’s second release safely out the door last week, we’re now well on our way towards the next release, due out in April. This release will be focusing on stability and deployability. To this end, I’ve set up a HudsonJenkins box that runs a bunch of tests for me. I’ve used Jenkins before, but [...]

OpenStack is open for business

By On 2010-07-19 · 9 Comments

Moments ago Rackspace announced the OpenStack project. Not only is this awesome news in and of itself, it also means that I can finally blog about it The Rackspace’s IaaS offering consists of two parts: Cloud Servers and Cloud Files. Incidentally, OpenStack (so far, at least) has two main components to it: A “compute” compenent [...]

“I got redirected here from linux2go.dk.. What gives?”

By On 2010-04-06 · Leave a Comment

I got fed up with the old site. It was unfocused, unprofessional, not very pretty, out-of-date.. Frankly, I was feeling embarassed about it. I took it offline completely a couple of weeks ago, expecting to redo it altogether.  While thinking about its future and trying to write a few things for the new web site, [...]

Not an April fool’s joke

By On 2010-04-01 · Leave a Comment

Today marks the beginning of my second month working for Rackspace. I’ve realised I haven’t actually blogged about my leaving Canonical, so this post doubles as an announcement about that, I suppose. A lot of thought was put into that decision. Ubuntu is an awesome project to work on and Canonical was a fun and [...]
