technologists, can we not sort this out? It’s a simple problem, considering the scope of everything else we do.

I'd second this idea. If we can gather the pertinent result from each meeting, that would be ideal. -Original Message- From: Edgar Magana [mailto:edgar.mag...@workday.com] Sent: Monday, November 16, 2015 9:10 AM To: Donald Talton; Jonathan Proulx; openstack-operators@lists.openstac

I think it's good to move the meeting around out of fairness. Although like you said, I would not be able to justify travel expenses for my staff (US-based) for a mid-cycle meetup. -Original Message- From: Jonathan Proulx [mailto:j...@csail.mit.edu] Sent: Monday, November 16, 2015 8:51

All good points, but I’m not sure about the 3-5 window…it’s so anti-cloud. Although I think many of us are not doing cloudy things with OpenStack. That said, RedHat’s stable OSP releases are trailing 6mos behind community releases. And many of us do site-stability testing that lasts for months b

I agree, but to use your argument: how hard would it be to setup a small group to do this for the community? I’m sure there would be a few people interested in maintaining it… From: matt [mailto:m...@nycresistor.com] Sent: Friday, November 06, 2015 1:18 PM To: Fox, Kevin M Cc: Jesse Keating; Ope

I like the idea of LTS releases. Speaking to my own deployments, there are many new features we are not interested in, and wouldn't be, until we can get organizational (cultural) change in place, or see stability and scalability. We can't rely on, or expect, that orgs will move to the CI/CD m

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
