You can catch up on previous posts by following the links here for part 1 <http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2013/06/24/openstack-for-vmware-admins-nova-compute-with-vsphere-part-1/>, part 2 <http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2013/06/26/openstack-for-vmware-admins-nova-compute-with-vsphere-part-2/>, part 3 <http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2013/07/09/openstack-compute-for-vsphere-admins-part-3-ha-and-vm-migration/> and part 4 <http://cloudarchitectmusings.com/2013/08/05/openstack-compute-for-vsphere-admins-part-4-overcommitment-in-nova-compute/>. OpenStack's Test Driven Core <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/08/openstacks-test-driven-core-its-where-i-think-what-is-core-discussions-are-heading/> In helping drive OpenStack's "what is core" dialog <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/08/06/core-community-dialogue/>, board member Rob Hirschfeld <http://robhirschfeld.com/> has reported a lot of viewpoints about what OpenStack is and what it should be <http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/making-openstack-meaningful/>. As a good steward of this process he has successfully managed to be an objective listener <http://web.missouri.edu/%7Ecampbellr/Leadership/chapter6.htm>. In the recent post in the series, he expresses his point of view. This is one of the most important conversations for the OpenStack Foundation and it's happening now. Flavors -- An English perspective <http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2013/08/flavors-english-perspective.html> OpenStack has the capability to define flavors of virtual machines, how many cores, swap, disk and memory. As a native UK English speaker, Tim Bell finds the term /flavor/ to already be a problem. In his post describing how flavors are used at CERN he appeals to the OpenStack technical committee to not accept any term which is not the same in US and UK English or to allow an alias. His post has lots of other interesting information, too. Non-Relational Database-as-a-Service in OpenStack <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/08/07#non-relational-trove> The OpenStack Technical Committee voted this week <http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/tc/2013/tc.2013-08-06-20.01.html> to expand the scope of the Trove <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Trove> program, which is currently in incubation, to encompass non-relational as well as relational databases.
