Armando Migliaccio is a restless<\/em>\u00a0Italian expatriate who moves back and forth to and from Europe. Armando and OpenStack met on a sunny day of July 2010; since then he \u00a0has worked on many OpenStack projects, mostly Nova and more recently Neutron, where he is a core member. Currently at VMware, he spends most of his time ensuring that VMware technologies are the most advanced and feature-rich ones to deploy OpenStack on.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. What random or unique items are in your bag or backpack right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Backpack? Who needs a backpack? Everything is in the cloud! No, seriously everything I have in my bag is just enough to get me there…a laptop\/tablet and a charger.<\/p>\n

\u00a02. Where is your happy place? Favorite place to visit, vacation, decompress?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Somewhere in Italy, most preferably in the hills of Tuscany.<\/p>\n

\"tuscany\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. What is your go-to beverage or snack while coding?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I code all I need is to be immersed in my music….water if it’s going to be a long long session.<\/p>\n

\u00a04. What do you think is the coolest thing that’s happened with OpenStack over the past three years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adoption. It is unbelievable how many companies and individuals have embraced it. Some people are still scratching their heads on how to tame the beast…especially around upgrades, which may hold back a little…but once the last wrinkles are figured out (like deprecating nova-network in favor of Neutron), OpenStack will sky-rocket, if it hasn’t already.<\/p>\n

\u00a05. How did you learn to code? Are you self-taught or did you learn in college? On-the-job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started some trivial coding back when I was 9, first in Basic and then Pascal and C when I was slightly older. After that I could say that I was already scarred for life so going into computer engineering seemed like the most sensible choice \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
