This is the first in what will hopefully be a long series of interviews with OpenStack engineers about what they worked on in the Mitaka cycle. The OpenStack cloud software project recently released the Mitaka release. RDO is a community distribution of OpenStack. I’ve invited several of the engineers that work on RDO to talk about what they did in… Read more →
When Derek Higgins started the tool to build OpenStack packages based on latest upstream aka "trunk" changes, the name Delorean seemed like a good choice: the tool is keeping older builds so you could "go back in time" like with a time machine, it’s geeky enough and there’s Irish connection. Fast forward earlier this year, when this tool is used… Read more →
Time goes fast as a RDO newbie and once I understood what the RDO Trunk and CloudSIG repos provide (read my previous post if you still have doubts), my next goal was to have a clear high-level perspective of the entire delivery workflow followed in the project. Although there is a lot of detailed and great information in different sources… Read more →

RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds and Mitaka is the 13th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 2500 contributors from around… Read more →
Here’s what RDO enthusiasts were blogging about this week: St. Louis OpenStack Meetup by Rich Bowen On Tuesday evening I had the privilege of addressing the St. Louis OpenStack Meetup group. I gave an Introduction to OpenStack presentation to about 30 attendees, many of whom were indeed OpenStack beginners, or just beginning to research what this OpenStack thing is all… Read more →
As a new contributor to the RDO project, one of my first tasks was to understand what is actually being produced by the project. According to RDO faq, the main goal is to maintain a freely-available, community-supported distribution of OpenStack based on RPM packages able to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, and their derivatives. But the RDO community… Read more →
I love this time of year – the energy and passion that swells right around an upstream OpenStack release, and the weeks before an OpenStack Summit. Most of the year, people are heads down working on their particular part of the project, but as we near a release, there’s a lot of interest in what’s going on in the larger… Read more →

Here’s what RDO enthusiasts have been blogging about in the last week: Tie Your Rabbit Down by Adam Young I’ve been running the Tripleo Quickstart to setup my development deployments. While looking into the setup, I noticed that the default Rabbit deployment is wide open. I can’t see anything other than firewall port blocking in place. I dug deeper. …… Read more →
I was traveling much of last week, so we have two weeks of blog posts to catch you up on, and there’s some really good ones in here. "RDO Manager" is now "TripleO", by K Rain Leander Because of its unique branding and name, one might assume that "RDO Manager" is not TripleO – perhaps it has additional downstream patches… Read more →
During my internship period at Red Hat, Kushal used to play with OpenStack and got a problem that a created instance is not able to get a public IP address so that he can access it from outside. From there I got introduced to OpenStack. I started by trying to install OpenStack (Icehouse) following the upstream documentation, to reproduce this… Read more →
Because of its unique branding and name, one might assume that “RDO Manager” is not TripleO – perhaps it has additional downstream patches or maybe they’re entirely different projects. You would not be alone because the community, the users and the developers alike have shared their confusion on this topic. The truth is “RDO Manager” really is “TripleO”. There is… Read more →
Here’s what RDO enthusiasts have been blogging about in the last week: Using a custom ssh config with Ansible’s synchronize module, by Harry Rybacki Have you ever needed to specify which ssh config file rsync should use when called from Ansible’s synchronize module? I have and it was not obvious how to do so. … read more at http://tm3.org/52 RDO… Read more →
