href="http://docs.openstack.org/ops/" target="_blank">OpenStack
Operations Guide</a>. You can read it in EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or <a
href="http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/openstack-operations-guide/13692962"
target="_blank">print</a>. The electronic formats are free to
download so click away. The print version costs $29.90 and all
proceeds go to the OpenStack Foundation to support more book
sprints like the one that produced this book. Read from the
protagonists how they did it: <a href="http://Lorin/">Lorin</a><a

<h3><a
href="http://www.mirantis.com/blog/case-study-on-openstack-cloud-in-health-care/">Case
Study on OpenStack Cloud in Health Care</a></h3>
<p>Computing for health care and life sciences is rapidly adapting
to opportunities created by new technologies for scalable data
storage, elastic compute service resources, and data analytics.
Given the powerful forces changing the economics of the overall
health care marketplace, technologies that can address security
and compliance at reduced cost are getting a lot of attention.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://www.enovance.com/fr/blog/5458/swift-and-quotas-in-upcoming-1-8-0-grizzly-release">OpenStack
Object Storage and quotas in upcoming 1.8.0 (Grizzly) release.</a></h3>
<p>OpenStack Object Storage (codename Swift) will have two new
middleware for managing quotas: container_quotas and
account_quotas. The first, container_quotas, allows users to
specify a limit on one of their containers. The account_quotas is
more the typical quota implementation. A «super user» with the
reselleradmin group/role can set a byte limit for an account and
the account will not be able to have new objects/containers until
someone cleanups his account to get under the limited quotas.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://anteaya.info/blog/2013/03/08/openstack-updated-individual-contributor-license-agreements/">OpenStack
Updated Individual Contributor License Agreements</a></h3>
<p>Last weekend we updated the OpenStack Individual Contributor
License Agreement and all OpenStack contributors needed to sign a
new individual agreement. We graphed the data of the rate of
signups: almost 400 developers signed in less than a week.</p>
