Stackers, I'm excited to tell the OpenStack community that the Atlas team within Rackspace is open sourcing our load balancing service. Next week we will be proposing that this project be recognized as an affiliated OpenStack project in incubation status. The Rackspace Cloud has been operating this product in a beta phase since November of last year and this week has just gone into general availability. We¹ve been very pleased with the reception from our customers and excited about the prospect of this project potentially being part of the larger OpenStack community.
The project is hosted at https://launchpad.net/atlas-lb and the team is excited to collaborate with others in the OpenStack community to make the code better and to integrate with the other applicable OpenStack projects. Uma Goring, the engineering manager for the project within Rackspace and the project technical lead and I will be hosting a session at the summit to review the project and some of our ideas for the path forward. As part of this effort, we will begin the discussion on the API specification for version 1.1 of the service. This will be done completely in the open with the community; using the mailing list, IRC channel, and the OpenStack wiki. We¹re excited about this project and look forward to discussing further at the design summit next week. We¹ve opened a blueprint to facilitate the discussion around this project @ https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-devel/+spec/openstack-lbaas. -Josh _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
