Tip: Add a specific keypair to a flavor
Folsom brought a lot of new features, however while playing with nova-manage, I came across a new option, option that I found very useful and that I’m about to share with you.
Optimized your SSD
I would like to share with you readers some of the optimizations I made on the SSDs storing my Ceph Journals. This article has been placed into the ceph categorie, but it’s more general best practices SSDs.

Introducing ceph-deploy

From nova-network to quantum
Before starting anything I’d like highlight the fact that this article was co-written with Emilien Macchi, who has a better expertise on Quantum that I do.

This article is just a step back about the state of the networking in OpenStack. Basically what did we lose and what did we gain?
