I’m excited to see not only async-await making it thoroughly into the language (in Swift 5.6), but also the extensions that enable actors and distributed actors with this general sweep of the Swift language embracing concurrency. It’s been several years in the making, and the past year has been building much of these base piecesContinue reading “What Apple might do with distributed computing”

How corporate culture is killing private cloud
I have a hypothesis on why private cloud is such a struggle: Corporations are culturally ingrained not to accept loss of control and unpredictability in expenses, and their adoption of private cloud flies right under the foot of that cultural bias. Let me explain: A huge portion of the saleable use cases for private cloudContinue reading “How corporate culture is killing private cloud”
OpenStack docs and tooling in 20 minutes
I’ve gone through the routine several times now, so I decided to make it easy to replicate to help out some friends get started with all the tooling and setup needed to build, review, and contribute to OpenStack Documentation. I’m a huge fan of CloudEnvy, so I’ve created a public github repository with the envyContinue reading “OpenStack docs and tooling in 20 minutes”
Making keystoneclient python library a little easier to work with
A few weeks prior to the Grizzly OpenStack Design Summit, I was digging around in various python-*client libraries for OpenStack. Glanceclient had just started to use python-keystoneclient to take care of it’s auth needs, but everyone else was doing it themselves – intertia from having it in the base project from the early days andContinue reading “Making keystoneclient python library a little easier to work with”
OpenStack Keystone plans for the Grizzly release
I posted this information to the OpenStack-dev mailing list, but thought it would be worthwhile as a blog post as well. Here is an overview of what’s looking to happen in Keystone over the grizzly release cycle. From the summit, we had the state of the project slides, which might be of interest: http://www.slideshare.net/ccjoe/oct-2012-state-of-project-keystone SinceContinue reading “OpenStack Keystone plans for the Grizzly release”
CloudEnvy – vagrant for OpenStack
I work on OpenStack, I work in OpenStack. Seems like everyone I know that’s been working on, in, or with OpenStack has their own little script to “set up their environment” – meaning getting a VM spun up with their dotfiles, tools, etc, all configured and ready to roll. I had one myself for quiteContinue reading “CloudEnvy – vagrant for OpenStack”
OpenStack Design Summit – wrap-up and links
This fall’s OpenStack design summit in San Diego is wrapped up, and we’re all back to being distributed across the globe. I was pleased with the summit, and pleased to see the project I’m helping coordinate (Keystone) move forward with a lot of ideas, growing interest in contributions, and concrete feedback from a wide mixContinue reading “OpenStack Design Summit – wrap-up and links”
OpenStack Folsom RC1
It’s been a busy couple of weeks, and I expect the new several to be busy as well, leading up to the next OpenStack Design Summit (Oct 15th-18th in San Diego, CA). We rolled RC1 for Keystone Folsom release out the door this past week, and at this point I think all the projects haveContinue reading “OpenStack Folsom RC1”
6 months later… Essex
Easter Sunday and I’ve some time to sit back, relax, and spend the weekend doing a little cleaning and catching up. I’ve got to admit to some embarrassment that the last post here was the wrap-up of the OpenStack Diablo design summit. To say it’s been a busy six months since the last post isContinue reading “6 months later… Essex”
Openstack Summit Fall 2011 – Wrap-up and overview
I’m back from the OpenStack design summit and conference, just held in Boston, MA. It was a fantastic week, with the first three days dedicated to the design summit – getting down and dirty with the details, and the last two dedicated to the conference portion – talks and panels about folks actively using OpenStack,Continue reading “Openstack Summit Fall 2011 – Wrap-up and overview”
