What's CloudEnvy? Joe Heck http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp says it is "the most interesting illustration of CloudEnvy is using it to spin up an instance in a cloud, and then run devstack https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack in that instance."

Multifactor Auth and Keystone http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/multifactor-auth-and-keystone/
The topic of how to enforce multifactor authentication with Keystone tokens came up often during the Design Summit in San Diego. Adam Young http://adam.younglogic.com/ wrote a summary of the discussions. Link to the blueprint. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/multi-factor-authn
PKI tokens and Horizon http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/pki-tokens-horizon/
With PKI, tokens have gone from 40 byte to 3000. This plus additional payload in Horizon means that they no longer fit inside an HTTP cookie. How do we deal with this?
