Lorin Hochstein shared a very detailed story about debugging the network in OpenStack-powered instances. The story starts with a familiar message: I can’t connect to the instance. Hopefully his story will be shared by generations of new OpenStack users and become legend.

It is a common desire to have some storage space associated with an instance running on cloud. It is also a common desire to have access to it be as fast as possible. OpenStack doesn’t provide a way to fine-tune this particular option out of the box. Mirantis engineer Alexey Ovchinnikov discusses how Mirantis implemented just such an extension, what roadblocks have already been encountered, and what problems one may encounter when using it.
