[Openstack-operators] Scaling the Ops Meetup

2015-06-29 Thread Tom Fifield
Hi all, Right now, behind-the-scenes, we're working on getting a venue for next ops mid-cycle. It's taking a little longer than normal, but rest assured it is happening. Why is it so difficult? As you may have noticed, we're reaching the size of event where both physically and financially, only t

Re: [Openstack-operators] Image Based Backups

2015-06-29 Thread Donald Talton
Backing up guests can be tricky. You could use cinder backups or snapshots, but you may hit consistency issues if you are not freezing IO. Since you are using Ceph, you can take snapshots of the RBDs from Ceph too, but that's not a true backup. Backing up from Ceph to another location is challe

Hi Matt, Thanks for your response. Ø I found that this reduced token validation performance by approximately 2x. Compared to what? Having no revocation events at all? Ø I did not go into more detail on where the slowness was coming from. As you know, when list-revoked-tokens is called, we do

I had just a few questions that came up during a class recently and I didn't have an answer. Can someone confirm these? 1. Does a VM using a particular volume need to be off in order for cinder-backup to take a snapshot? 2. When dnsmasq DHCP leases expire with a still-active VM, how does

What are people using to perform image based backups of Windows and Linux VMs in OpenStack? I am using KVM as the hypervisor, Ceph for block storage and Swift for object storage. I know Cinder can backup volumes that are not in use (at least in Juno, that may have changed in Kilo). I am look

I'm gonna forward this to my co-workers :) I've been kicking this idea around for some time now, and it hasn't caught traction. I think it could work for a modest overcommit, depending on the memory workload. We decided that it should be possible to do this sanely, but that it needed testing. I'm h
