Packstack is currently in its first ages and still under heavy development but, it&#8217;s already capable of installing, customize some parameters and distribute most of the Openstack modules on a single server or several as well. It currently supports Red Hat based distros but there&#8217;s space for more.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/anteaya.info\/blog\/2013\/02\/07\/testing\/\">Testing<\/a> (OpenStack)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/anteaya.info\/\">Anita Kuno<\/a>, one of our awesome intern of OPW program, tells the tales common to new developers learning about OpenStack developer&#8217;s community. In this new installation she tells us how she had to run some tests in \/opt\/stack\/nova and every command failed. Why? She didn\u2019t know. But now she does.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mirantis.com\/blog\/cloud-prizefight-vmware-vs-openstack\/\">Cloud Prizefight: OpenStack vs. VMware<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>There have been many discussions in the cloud landscape comparing VMware and OpenStack. In fact, it\u2019s one of the most popular topics among those thinking about using OpenStack. Mirantis&#8217; Lee Xie judged the two in the following categories: design, features, use cases, and value. The categories are scored on a 10-point scale and then tallied to determine the winner.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/vmartinezdelacruz.com\/in-a-nutshell-how-openstack-works\/\">In a nutshell: How Does OpenStack work?<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vmartinezdelacruz.com\/\">Victoria Mart\u00ednez de la Cruz<\/a>, another awesome intern of OPW program, uses pictures and words to explain in a blog post how OpenStack works.<\/p>\n<h2>Security Advisories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/markmail.org\/message\/tan3hpm3rlpqb3rf\">Keystone denial of service through invalid token requests (CVE-2013-0247)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>By <a href=\"http:\/\/adam.younglogic.com\/\">Adam Young<\/a>: <a href=\"http:\/\/adam.younglogic.com\/2013\/02\/puppet-postgresql-keystone\/\">Using Puppet to setup PostgreSQL for Keystone on Fedora<\/a><\/li>\n<li>By <a href=\"http:\/\/vmartinezdelacruz.com\/\">Victoria Mart\u00ednez de la Cruz<\/a>: <a href=\"http:\/\/vmartinezdelacruz.com\/trystack-openstack-for-fun-and-profit\/\">TryStack: OpenStack for fun and profit<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Upcoming Events<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/gnunify.in\/2013\/events\/OpenStack_Mini_Conf\" target=\"_blank\">OpenStack Mini-Conf at gnuNify<\/a> Feb 15, 2013 &#8211;
