Blow Out the Candles \u2013 OpenStack Turns 3!<\/a><\/h3>\n

OpenStack will celebrate it\u2019s third birthday July 19, and we\u2019re celebrating this month! \u00a0In three short years, Openstack has truly emerged as the center of cloud innovation, with hundreds of companies around the world relying on OpenStack to run their business. OpenStack is maturing, it\u2019s coming of age and new users being announced every week (Fidelity, Comcast, Best Buy, Bloomberg). Over the past three years, we\u2019ve also seen OpenStack grow internationally. There are now over 40 global user groups and more than 10,000 community members across 121 countries. And we\u2019ve recently crossed the 1,000 authors threshold to the code base. \u00a0This calls for a big toast to the OpenStack community!<\/p>\n

A tool for watching Zuul and Jenkins<\/a><\/h3>\n

Dan Smith<\/a> wrote a very hacky text \u201cdashboard\u201d that merges the information from Gerrit and Zuul, and provides a periodically-refreshed view of what is going on. The tool is useful to keep close watch of patches, both to know when they\u2019re close to merging, as well as to know early when they\u2019re failing a test. Catching something early and pushing a fix will kill the job currently in progress and start over with the new patch. This is a more efficient use of resources and lowers the total amount of time before Jenkins will vote on the patch in such a case.<\/p>\n

Save Space: the final frontier – Erasure Codes with OpenStack Swift<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Swift team announced an initiative to introduce erasure codes in OpenStack Swift. This initiative enables deployers to store data with erasure coding instead of or in addition to Swift’s 3-replica model.<\/p>\n
