It looks like you're hitting a recently introduced bug (maybe). I haven't run
the code, but from reading through, it looks like the xenhost.host_data plugin
command is going to barf if it is not passed a host_uuid parameter. It used to

In nova-manage, we have a 'network modify' command that takes --network but
'network delete' takes --fixed_range. The flag was renamed (some while ago)
for the 'network delete' case. Was it intentional to leave the 'network

Great stuff Stefano. These are going to be very valuable metrics.
To start with, I'd draw your "commits per month" graph with a 1 year x-axis.
This is a reasonable baseline for historical stats, and has the particular
advantage in this case that it trims off the start-up phase of the project,
That's the original blueprint for the work. Things have moved on a lot since

Hi all,
Xen Summit is open for registration. This year it's in Santa Clara, CA, August
2-3.
This will be a great opportunity to meet some of the hypervisor and kernel
engineers, as well as to see what's happening on the cloud side. Yours truly
is talking (on OpenStack, of course). Other top

I agree that implementing a perfect EC2 simulator would be hard. We shouldn't
try and do that. We should have an EC2-compatible API for a sensible
feature-set, but we shouldn't try and add support for every new feature that
Amazon adds.
The value of this API is that EC2-compatible tools can b

If you believe that that's true, then we should get Amazon to redefine the EC2
spec to match the reality of what's in the field.

True enough. However, in the case where we've got a demonstrated divergence
from the spec, we should report that

The hypervisor-vmware-vsphere-support blueprint merged yesterday, so Nova can
now use VMware's hypervisors on the compute nodes. This brings the OpenStack
compute options to seven: vSphere, XenServer/Xen Cloud Platform, Xen, Hyper-V,
KVM, QEMU, and UML. LXC isn't far behind, which will make e
