Cool, thanks, Jon. I've been following the thread on your scheduling issue
on the OpenStack list. I can't see our users hitting that issue, but it's
always good to keep in mind. :)

 One negative difference I noticed, but haven't really dug into yet
 since it's not a common pattern here:

 If I schedule 20 instances in one API call I get conductor timeouts
 and zero launches.  If I make many parallel scheduling calls for 20
 instances each response is good and scaling out to several hundred
 parallel launches is much faster and with out the neutron timeout
 errors that plagued me since I switched over to quantum in Grizzly.

 As I said I've not looked deeply at this so it may be a local config
 issue rather than something systemic with Juno, but if it's an
 important use case for you be sure to take a good look at it.

[Openstack-operators] State of Juno in Production

2015-02-17 Thread Joe Topjian
Hello,

I'm beginning to plan for a Juno upgrade and wanted to get some feedback
from anyone else who has gone through the upgrade and has been running Juno
in production.

The environment that will be upgraded is pretty basic: nova-network, no
cells, Keystone v2. We run a RabbitMQ cluster, though, and per other recent
discussions, see the same reported issues.

The only issue I'm aware of is that live snapshotting is disabled. Has
anyone re-enabled this and seen issues? What was the procedure to re-enable?

Any other gotchas or significant differences seen from running Icehouse?

Thanks,
Joe
