September 2013 PTL elections - Final results
by Anita Kuno 04 Oct '13

04 Oct '13

Thank you to the electorate, to all those who voted and to all candidates who put their name forward for PTL for this election. A healthy, open process breeds trust in our decision making capability - thank you to all those who make this process possible. Now for the results of the PTL election process, please join me in extending congratulations to the following PTLs: * Compute (Nova) o Russell Bryant * Object Storage (Swift) o John Dickinson * Image Service (Glance) o Mark Washenberger * Identity (Keystone) o Dolph Mathews * Dashboard (Horizon) o Gabriel Hurley * Networking (Neutron) o Mark McClain * Block Storage (Cinder) o John Griffith * Metering/Monitoring (Ceilometer) o Julien Danjou * Orchestration (Heat) o Steve Baker * Database Service (Trove) o Michael Basnight * Bare metal (Ironic) o Devananda van der Veen * Queue service (Marconi) o Kurt Griffiths * Common Libraries (Oslo) o Doug Hellmann * Infrastructure o James E. Blair * Documentation o Anne Gentle * Quality Assurance (QA) o Sean Dague * Deployment (TripleO) o Robert Collins * Devstack (DevStack) o Dean Troyer * Release cycle management o Thierry Carrez * Savanna o Sergey Lukjanov Election Results: Cinder: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_8f0141cdd… Heat: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_bf6cc46f0… Horizon: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_18f40a4ba… Please note that I include the Savanna PTL in this list though Savanna was not part of the original PTL announcement for this round [0], as the program became incubated during the election process [1]. I evaluated the documentation surrounding the Savanna PTL election process as I was requested to do, concluding that their electorate had knowingly elected their PTL to remain in position until the conclusion of the Icehouse release, should the program be incubated. Links to Savanna election process [2][3][4] [0] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-September/015369.ht… [1]http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-24-20.01.html [2] http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/savanna/2013/savanna.2013-08-15-18.… [3] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2013-August/013447.html [4] http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_cf7af88be… I have posted the announcement to the openstack-dev mailing list opening TC nominations. We are into the TC election process. Thierry and I will both be officiating the TC election. Thank you to all involved in the PTL election process, Anita Kuno. (anteaya)

Register Now For The Summit in Hong Kong <http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/?source=o12> ???? ???????????????? ???????, ???????? <https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6786581849/o12> Last batch of invites to the Hong Kong summit has been sent to Active Technical Contributors (ATCs). Check your inbox and spam folders if your code merged before September 25^th . Participate in the OpenStack User Survey by September 30! <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/09/participate-in-the-openstack-user-sur…> A tale of 3 OpenStack clouds : 50,000 cores in production at CERN <http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-tale-of-3-openstack-c…> Tim Bell in his blog post explains the different OpenStack environments at CERN and their distinct teams of evaluation and administration. OpenStack Icehouse Incubation Roundup <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/04#icehouse-incubation> The OpenStack Technical Committee met this week <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-03-20.01.html> to consider the status of incubated projects for the upcoming Icehouse cycle. As a result, database provisioning (codename Trove)will be an official part of the Icehouse (2014.1) release, while message queues (Marconi) and bare-metal server provisioning (Ironic) will be in incubation with a view to becoming official in the as-yet-unnamed J (2014.2) release. MapReduce as a service <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/25#savanna-incubation> (Savanna) will also be incubated. How to Use Ask OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/09/how-to-use-ask-openstack/> We're continuously building together "The best place on the Internet to find answers to common OpenStack problems": our Question&Answers site Ask <https://ask.openstack.org/>OpenStack <https://ask.openstack.org/> is such place and needs everybody's help. Ask OpenStack is a collaborative effort, think of it like a wiki where pages are made only of questions and answers. Anybody with more than 100 karma points can fix a question or an answer and anybody can gain karma points by getting votes on answers and/or questions. Introducing the NNFI scheduler for Zuul <http://amo-probos.org/post/16> We recently made a change to Zuul's scheduling algorithm (how it determines which changes to combine together and run tests). Now when a change fails tests (or has a merge conflict), Zuul will move it out of the series of changes that it is stacking together to be tested, but it will still keep that change's position in the queue. Jobs for changes behind it will be restarted without the failed change in their proposed repo states. And if something later fails ahead of it, Zuul will once again put it back into the stream of changes it's testing and give it another chance.

OpenStack Docs Boot Camp Wrap Up <http://justwriteclick.com/2013/09/13/openstack-docs-boot-camp-wrap-up/> We gathered about 20 writers and developers who wanted to learn about OpenStack documentation in the Mirantis training room for two days this week in Mountain View, California. The idea for a docs boot camp came from the OpenStack Infrastructure team who held one back in June <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/07/infrastructure-bootcamp/>. We wanted to enable more people to contribute to OpenStack documentation through in-person training and team building. It's not like a book sprint, with the goal of a book in five days, but rather a training session, with questions and answers in real time. Read the full report from Anne Gentle <http://justwriteclick.com/>.

[OSSA 2013-026] Potential denial of service on Nova when using Qpid (CVE-2013-4261)
by Thierry Carrez 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 OpenStack Security Advisory: 2013-026 CVE: CVE-2013-4261 Date: September 12, 2013 Title: Potential denial of service on Nova when using Qpid Reporter: Jaroslav Henner (Red Hat) Products: Nova Affects: Folsom, Grizzly Description: Jaroslav Henner from Red Hat reported a vulnerability in Nova when using Apache Qpid as the RPC backend. By sending any random text longer than 65K characters to an instance console and requesting the console log contents through the API, an authenticated user may disrupt the nova-compute node his instance is running on. This vulnerability could be leveraged in a Denial of Service attack against the cloud provider. Only Folsom and Grizzly setups using Qpid as their RPC backend are affected. Havana setups, or setups using other RPC backends (like RabbitMQ), are all unaffected.

OpenStack Icehouse Incubation Roundup <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/09/04#icehouse-incubation> The OpenStack Technical Committee met this week <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-09-03-20.01.html> to consider the status of incubated projects for the upcoming Icehouse cycle. As a result, database provisioning (codename Trove <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Trove>) will be an official part of the Icehouse (2014.1) release, while message queues (codename Marconi <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Marconi>) and bare-metal server provisioning (codename Ironic <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic>) will be in incubation with a view to becoming official in the as-yet-unnamed J (2014.2) release.

In short, each change to an OpenStack project must pass unit and integration tests before it is merged. Over the past year, the OpenStack project has grown tremendously, with 62 git repositories related to OpenStack, 30 for the project infrastructure, and an additional 75 unofficial projects that share the same testing infrastructure. In all, the development infrastructure currently serves 167 repositories. They run up to *720 test jobs per hour*, and our dynamic provisioning system has pushed our test node count up to 328 nodes online and running tests simultaneously. Over the past year, the OpenStack Infra team made a large number of changes to prepare for this load. This blog post by jeblair has some of the key innovations that help us test at scale.

Havana-3 development milestone available
by Thierry Carrez 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi everyone, The last milestone in the Havana development cycle, "havana-3" is now available for Keystone, Glance, Nova, Horizon, Neutron, Cinder, Ceilometer, and Heat. In the last 7 weeks, more than 200 features were added and more than 750 bugs fixed (!). You can see the full list of new features and fixed bugs, as well as tarball downloads, at: https://launchpad.net/keystone/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/glance/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/nova/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/horizon/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/neutron/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/cinder/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/ceilometer/havana/havana-3 https://launchpad.net/heat/havana/havana-3 This milestone is nearly feature-complete. A few exceptions should land next week, but those projects are otherwise feature-frozen in preparation of the first Havana release candidate. We should now all switch to testing and bugfixing mode for the next weeks, and make Havana as bug-free as we can. The release-critical bugs will be tracked on the havana-rc1 milestone pages. Once all those bugs are fixed and the first release candidates are out, the next development cycle (Icehouse) will start. Final coordinated release is expected on October 17th. More information on the OpenStack development cycle can be found at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Release_Cycle Regards, -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

Register Now For The Summit in Hong Kong <http://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013Register> <???????????????????? ???????, ???????? <http://openstacksummitnovember2013.eventbrite.com/> Ambassador Program -- Specifics <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program-specifics/> Following from the previous post <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/ambassador-program/>, 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. How Heat Orchestrates your OpenStack Resources <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/08/29#heat-dependencies> One of the great things about orchestration <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/07/30#openstack-orchestration-introd…> 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. Zane Bitter <http://www.zerobanana.com/tags/OpenStack> describes how this works in Heat <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat>. Autoscaling with Heat and Ceilometer <http://techs.enovance.com/5991/autoscaling-with-heat-and-ceilometer> 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. Taking OpenStack Core discussions to community <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/27/taking-openstack-core-discussions-to-co…> We've been building up to a broad discussion about the OpenStack Core <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/kicking-off-core/> and I'd like to invite everyone in the OpenStack community to participate (review latest <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/13/openstack-core-positions/>). Alan Clark (Board Chairman) officially kicked off this open discussion with his post on the OpenStack blog <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/addressing-the-topic-of-core-through-…> last week. And we're trying to have face-to-face events for dialog like the Core meetup tonight in San Francisco <http://www.meetup.com/openstack/events/134495312/>. Look for more to come! Of course, this will also be a topic at the summit <https://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/voting-is-open-help-choose-who-will-…>. The Board needs to move this forward in the November meeting, so NOW is the time to review and give us input. The OpenStack T-Shirt Design Contest Winner is... <http://www.openstack.org/blog/2013/08/the-openstack-t-shirt-design-contest-…> Raul Chan's design. Check it out on OpenStack's blog. OpenStack in Production OpenStack Swift & many small files <http://engineering.spilgames.com/openstack-swift-lots-small-files/?utm_sour…> 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*1.2 billion* files to be stored on the object servers. Generally speaking, Swift has turned out to be a solid object storage system.
