<h3><a

Program – Specifics</a></h3>
<p>Following from the <a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program/">previous
post</a>, we’ve had a range of people express their support
for the program and quite a number already looking for the
application form! So, some more details about the Ambassador
Program. Ambassadors will be recognised on the OpenStack website
for their efforts, and provided with support from foundation
staff to conduct their duties. They will also get access to a
funding program – allowing them to request funds for activities
of impact in their region. We’d also expect ambassadors to
attend the summits, and the Foundation would likely assist if it
wasn’t possible for them to be there using their own methods.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/08/29#heat-dependencies">How
Heat Orchestrates your OpenStack Resources</a></h3>
<p>One of the great things about <a
href="http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/07/30#openstack-orchestration-introduction">orchestration</a>
is that it automatically figures out the operations it needs to
perform. So whenever you deploy (or modify) your infrastructure
you need not write a script to do so; you simply describe the
infrastructure you want and the orchestration engine does the
rest. <a href="http://www.zerobanana.com/tags/OpenStack">Zane
Bitter</a> describes how this works in <a
href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat">Heat</a>.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://techs.enovance.com/5991/autoscaling-with-heat-and-ceilometer">Autoscaling
with Heat and Ceilometer</a></h3>
<p>Like AWS CloudFormation, Heat allows to create auto scaling
stacks. In order to do this, some metrics need to be retrieved
from your VM and some actions need to be triggered when a
specified event occurs on these metrics. These actions are
usually upscaling (create some new VMs) or downscaling (destroy
some Vms). Starting with the Havana version (currently trunk),
Ceilometer can now trigger actions when something happens to
these metrics by creating alarms. The Heat agent inside the VM
is no more needed.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/27/taking-openstack-core-discussions-to-community/">Taking
OpenStack Core discussions to community</a></h3>
<p>We’ve been building up to a <a
href="http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/kicking-off-core/">broad
discussion about the OpenStack Core</a> and I’d like to invite
everyone in the OpenStack community to participate (<a
href="http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/13/openstack-core-positions/">review
latest</a>). Alan Clark (Board Chairman) officially kicked off
this open discussion with <a
href="http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/addressing-the-topic-of-core-through-spider/">his
post on the OpenStack blog</a> last week. And we’re trying to
have face-to-face events for dialog like the <a
href="http://www.meetup.com/openstack/events/134495312/">Core
meetup tonight in San Francisco</a>. Look for more to come!
Of course, this will also be a topic at the <a
href="https://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/voting-is-open-help-choose-who-will-speak-at-the-next-summit/">summit</a>.
The Board needs to move this forward in the November meeting, so
NOW is the time to review and give us input.</p>

Swift & many small files</a></h3>
<p>Spil Games has been running Swift for more than two years now,
hosting over 400 million files with an average file size of
about 50 KB per object. They have a replica count of three so
there are<strong><span style="color: #000000;">1.2 billion</span></strong>
files to be stored on the object servers. Generally speaking,
Swift has turned out to be a solid object storage system. They
however run into some performance issues and in a blog post they
describe how they analyzed and solved them.</p>
