      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-introduction>
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-community/>

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-spider/>
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-speak-at-the-next-summit/>.
The Board needs to move this forward in the November meeting, so NOW is
the time to review and give us input.

      OpenStack Swift & many small files
      <http://engineering.spilgames.com/openstack-swift-lots-small-files/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=openstack-swift-lots-small-files>

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. They however run into
some performance issues and in a blog post they describe how they
analyzed and solved them.
