Re: [Openstack] No /etc/nova/nova.conf

2012-01-24 Thread Paul McMillan



It looks like some nova and keystone services are not running. So my
question is how to check the status and restart all services in
devStack?
I can't use  commands like restart nova-api because they are not
installed. There should be other ways to start services in devStack.


Devstack is for development. If you shut the machine off that's running 
it, you need to re-run the script. Many devs run devstack in a VM for 
convenience (pause command, easy to blow away if something gets screwed 
up, easy to do a clean install).

I hope that any of the Dashboard developers can provide instructions on
how to install Dashboard from a milestone-release source code (Essex2 or
Essex3) while using MySQL for DB and Apache2 as the web server, AND NOT
by using virtual-env + sqlite.


I don't know about essex-2, but essex-3 should work reasonably well. If 
you don't like virtual-env, don't use it and use pip to directly install 
the appropriate dependencies.


You can specify the use of MySQL in the local settings file, and if you 
prefer Apache2, you can read the general Django setup instructions:

Why are those sorts of instructions replicated in each project in the
first place? Shouldn't they be in the wiki?


Because nobody reads wikis. Especially not developers who are in a hurry 
to make a small fix. At least this way, we can yell at them and say You 
saw the HACKING file, and you didn't read it.

Re: [Openstack] Openstack and Google Compute Engine

2012-07-02 Thread Paul McMillan
It's KVM on Redhat with a fairly custom guest kernel, including 
optimized drivers for their network encapsulation. Auth is handled using 
their existing OAuth2.0 infrastructure.


As Matt said, their offering is fairly different from EC2 (and 
Openstack), competing more with compute-heavy providers, rather than 
amazon-like application-host offerings.


Their beta is currently only available to customers that they expect 
will run real jobs. Expect a phone call and a conversation about your 
application and current compute use before your organization gets an invite.


One neat thing about their product is that they provide dedicated 
spindles on ephemeral disks for instances with more than 2 cores.


Their user tooling looks very nice. There are probably features worth 
borrowing there.

+1 for option 1. Bite the bullet now, rather than making it worse later.
