OpenStack Private Cloud is Doing Just Fine - SUSE Blog | SUSE Communities
Sometimes you have to dig beneath the surface of headlines to understand what's really going on. I guess that's one thing most of us have learned in recent months. Sometimes you need some careful analysis to get to the real story. It seems like that's as true in the IT world as it is with tabloid ...

Why is RackN advancing OpenStack on Kubernetes?
Yesterday, RackN CEO, Rob Hirschfeld, described the remarkable progress in OpenStack on Kubernetes using Helm ( article link). Until now, RackN had not been willing to officially support OpenStack deployments; however, we now believe that this approach is a game changer for OpenStack operators even if they are not actively looking at Kubernetes.

Beyond Expectations: OpenStack via Kubernetes Helm (Fully Automated with Digital Rebar)
RackN revisits OpenStack deployments with an eye on ongoing operations. I've been an outspoken skeptic of a Joint OpenStack Kubernetes Environment (my OpenStack BCN preso, Super User follow-up and BOS Proposal) because I felt that the technical hurdles of cloud native architecture would prove challenging.

How Kubernetes on OpenStack powers DreamHost's new web builder - OpenStack Superuser

Containers on the CERN Cloud - OpenStack Superuser
We have recently made the Container-Engine-as-a-Service (Magnum) available in production at CERN as part of the CERN IT department services for the LHC experiments and other CERN communities. This gives the OpenStack cloud users Kubernetes, Mesos and Docker Swarm on demand within the accounting, quota and project permissions structures already implemented for virtual machines.

Bouncing Back To Private Clouds With OpenStack
Timothy Prickett Morgan There is an adage, not quite yet old, suggesting that compute is free but storage is not. Perhaps a more accurate and, as far as public clouds are concerned, apt adaptation of this saying might be that computing and storage are free, and so are inbound networking within a region, but moving data across regions in a public cloud is brutally expensive, and it is even more costly spanning regions.

How to set up your work environment to become an OpenStack developer - OpenStack Superuser
Although there are developer and wiki guides on how to get started with OpenStack, I have found them bit overwhelming as a beginner. After reading various docs and asking for help from my mentor, who is a core contributor in OpenStack, I came up with the following easy-to-follow guide.

Neutron Quality of Service in OpenStack | Digit.in
