OpenStack docs and tooling in 20 minutes
Howto get started with all the tooling and setup needed to build, review, and contribute to OpenStack Documentation. By Joe Heck.
How It’s Made: the OpenStack API Reference Page
The site at http://api.openstack.org is a collection of HTML pages, and one page has an especially interesting story about how it is built. Anne Gentle reveals the secret.
Storage != Transfer
John Bresnahan argues that concepts of data transfer and data storage should not be conflated into a single solution. He believes that OpenStack can benefit from a new component that offloads the burden of optimally transferring images from existing components like nova-compute and swift.
