Open Source Sysadmin: Reorganization of the OpenStack Infrastructure Docs http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=8101

The OpenStack Infrastructure team is constantly evolving its documentation to make it easier for new contributors to join the team. Last week documentation for the OpenStack Project Infrastructure http://ci.openstack.org/ was reorganised “to re-orient the documentation as an introduction for new contributors and a reference for all contributors.” All of the CI tools are open source, the puppet and other configurations are all hosted in public revision control https://github.com/openstack-infra/config and any changes submitted are made by the same process all other changes in OpenStack are made https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GerritWorkflow. They go through automated tests in Jenkins to test applicable syntax and other formatting and the code changes submitted are reviewed by peers and approved by members of the infrastructure team. This has made it super easy it is for the team to collaborate on changes and offer suggestions (much better than endless pastebins or sharing a screen session with a fellow sysadmin!), plus with all changes in revision control it’s easy to track down where things went wrong and revert as necessary.

OpenStack-Docker: How to manage your Linux Containers with Nova http://blog.docker.io/2013/06/openstack-docker-manage-linux-containers-with-nova/

A new approach to manage Linux Containers (LXC) within OpenStack Compute. The Docker project released a driver to deploy LXC with Docker, with multiple advantages over the “normal” virtual machines usually deployed by Nova. Those advantages are speed, efficiency, and portability. Details and links to the code on How to manage your Linux Containers with Nova http://blog.docker.io/2013/06/openstack-docker-manage-linux-containers-with-nova/.
