OpenStack Juno Released 20
darthcamaro writes The OpenStack Juno release is now generally available. This the 10th major release for the open-source cloud platform and introduces the Sahara Data Processing Service as the major new project. That's not the only new feature in Juno though, with 310 new features in total. The new features include cloud storage policy, improved IPv6 support, a rescue mode and improved multi-cloud federation capabilities."

If you can't afford to waste the six extra words it would take to say "open-source cloud computing platform..." how about a Wikipedia link? It's what hypertext is for, after all.
"Hurr, if you don't know what OpenStack is, you shouldn't be on Slashdot!"
will no doubt be the refrain of some. Well, what's wrong with informing those who don't know? Or are we still supposed to jealously guard the Secret Knowledge?
An inclusively written or well-linked summary is not an insult to anyone's intelligence or level of knowledge.

Only Redhat can save BrokenStack now.
A bunch of fat, greasy stupid vaping ex D&D "hackers" writing shit code that never works.
Now Redhat is trying to the adult in the room and fix it.
I hope Kilo's new feature is that someone actually tested this shit and it works.

No, two production clouds. No consultants used. Team of 2.
No reliance on Canonical. All configured, tested and built using the standard documentation. we have written our own in-house install scripts. Part of a 2 year project that started before Grizzly. First implementation went live a year ago.
With an attitude like that the fault is you.

Team of two, ran two DARPA funded projects using openstack. It worked pretty well. We largely leveraged Salt in the middle of the project, and then towards the end we used a lot more Ansible since it was simpler to kick off and be done with a small team of two and less than 200 physical servers.
We had high availability as best as we could. The network node component is a sore point, as mac address and firewall rules cloning on the backend for seemless fallover looks pretty hard, but the new release is su

OpenStack works fine - your lack of competency doesn't mean the project is shit. Read the docs (repeatedly) until your mind can wrap around it, or just ask someone for help.

+1 to this. OpenStack isn't easy, and we went from OpenStack to CloudStack and back to OpenStack during our feasability stage. CloudStack was easier to get running, but couldn't do what we needed. OpenStack took a lot more effort, and we had to configure from scratch, bit by bit, until we got a system that did exactly what we wanted (functionality and technology wise). It's getting better with each release though (although every release seems to either break or deprecate something we're using, leading to a

From my experience OpenStack is an "all or nothing" product - you can either use a pre-rolled configuration and get what you are given, or spend a long time learning everything about it and hand-rolling your own to do what you want.
