you should be reviewing more OpenStack code</a></h3>
<div class="entry">
<p>Icehouse 3 is upon us, and as someone that is on a bunch of
core review teams, it means a steady drum beat of everyone
asking how do they get core reviewers to review their code. Sean
Dague explains quite well why you should be doing code reviews.</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.mirantis.com/blog/challenge/">Trusted
Cloud computing with Intel TXT: The challenge</a></h3>
<p>In todays connected environments, attacks on compute
infrastructure are ubiquitous. Major players have been
compromised by hackers and malware, with damages inflicted both
to their reputation and their business. Protecting the
infrastructure from external and internal threats is an
important part of operating production grade cloud environments.
<a href="http://www.mirantis.com/blog/challenge/">Christian
Huebner</a> introduces how OpenStack integrates with TXT.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2014/02/our-cloud-in-havana.html">Our
Cloud in Havana</a></h3>
<p>Upgrading a nearly 50,000 core cloud from Grizzly to Havana can
be done with a series of steps, each of which can have short
periods of reduced functionality but with constant VM
availability. <a
href="http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/">Tim Bell</a>
tells us how CERN upgraded its OpenStack cloud.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://techs.enovance.com/6722/status-of-the-openstack-port-to-python-3-2">Status
of the OpenStack port to Python 3</a></h3>
<p>Python 3 has been around for about 5 years, and we have <a
href="http://techs.enovance.com/6521/openstack_python3">excellent
reasons</a> to make sure OpenStack runs well on it.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. In his article, <a
href="http://techs.enovance.com/6722/status-of-the-openstack-port-to-python-3-2">Cyril
Roelandt</a> explains what works, what doesnt, and what <strong>you</strong>
can do to help.</p>
