<p><span lang="en-US">Nonuniform memory access (NUMA) is a memory
architecture that provides different access times depending on
which processor is being used. </span>This is a useful
feature for improving the performance of virtualized guests.
Guests can be optimized to use specific NUMA nodes when
provisioning resources. On most modern hardware, one can specify
which NUMA nodes a guest can use for virtualization. As an
example, by improving performance and reducing latency, the
network functions virtualization (NFV) use cases can really take
advantage of it. <span lang="en-US"><a

Rodrigues de Mello</a> </span><span lang="en-US">wrote a
report on the current plans to improve use NUMA placement and

<p><span lang="en">Yours truly is going around these days asking
“how does your company do OpenStack?” to collect best
practices and notable mistakes from various leaders of
OpenStack’s corporate community. I’m hoping to build a ‘how
to’ manual to help managers build better dev teams, more
effective at collaborating while shipping products to their
customers. This is an effort that goes hand-in-hand with
training new developers with Upstream Training and other
initiatives aimed at sustaining OpenStack growth. Email me,
please, I’d love to hear more stories. </span></p>
