      Benchmarking Performance of OpenStack Swift Configurations
      <http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-swift-configurations-performance-benchmarking/>

The latest OpenStack Object Storage Swift release 1.9.0 features full
global clusters support
<https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG>, which allows
to /distribute one cluster over multiple, geographically dispersed
sites, connected through a high-latency network/. Mirantis published a
brief introduction to how to use benchmarks to take full advantage of
the new features.


      Hardware Extension for Ceilometer
      <http://www.cloudcomp.ch/2013/07/hardware-extension-for-ceilometer/>

Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> is a monitoring tool for
OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> cloud environments. In the next
OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> release called Havana it will take
part as a core component. However, Ceilometer
<https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> is also available for the OpenStack
<http://www.openstack.org/> releases Folsom and Grizzly. Currently
Ceilometer <https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> offers only data of the
OpenStack <http://www.openstack.org/> core components and the virtual
machines of the cloud. For this reason the ICCLab
<http://www.cloudcomp.ch/> decided to extend Ceilometer
<https://launchpad.net/ceilometer> in a way that it is possible to
collect data from hardware devices as well.


      An Introduction to OpenStack Orchestration
      <http://www.zerobanana.com/archive/2013/07/30#openstack-orchestration-introduction>

The forthcoming Havana (2013.2) release of OpenStack
<http://www.openstack.org/> will mark the debut of orchestration as part
of the official release. It arrives in the form of the Heat
<https://wiki.openstack.org/Heat> project, which kicked off in early
2012 and graduated from incubation into OpenStack-proper after the
Havana Summit in March this year.
