To celebrate #OpenStack turning 15, we asked folks at the past #OpenInfra Days NA to fill out cards sharing the contributions they’ve made to OpenStack over the last 15 years—and WOW, the responses were incredible. 
Jim Blair took the cake (literally 
) with a contribution to every OpenStack release except one!
Now it’s time to fill out your contribution card and share it on social media with #WeAreOpenStack
#OpenStack upgrades have long been considered complex, risky, and resource-intensive. But Indiana University is challenging that narrative, showing what's possible with the implementation of SLURP, an upgrade process introduced by the upstream community

Check out this guide which walks you through the process of creating a VM using VirtualBox, with a particular focus on the configurations necessary to run OpenStack smoothly.

I also voted for #OpenInfra to join the #LinuxFoundation in the recent days, and as someone who has been using #OpenStack for a very long time, let me say this:
#OpenStack is still great, and I would consider it mostly the under-cloud for other systems like #Kubernetes
But ... the OpenStack user experience is horrible on all fronts. First time usage of any component, documentation, and even worse, contributor experience. These are hurdles, and they are all choices by the project. 
#OpenInfra has only gone and joined the #LinuxFoundation
Artist formerly known as #OpenStack to huddle under same umbrella as the Cloud Native Computing Foundation
OpenInfra arguably lost the fight years ago, a fact made glaringly obvious when stalwarts such as the veteran #Linux vendor SUSE decided to drop SUSE OpenStack Cloud in 2019 and go all-in with #Kubernetes.

Still good to see #opensource projects finding log term support even if they are niche offerings now!
#CloudNative #PDX is looking for speakers for the May 22 and July 24 meetings. Do you have something to share around #Kubernetes, #containers, #openstack, or other cloudy topics? Present to our meetup and stay for board games afterwards.

We are also looking for Food/Bev sponsors. Get a shoutout and schmooze with local technologists and job candidates.
Heute einen Meilenstein abgeschlossen: wir von der www.aditsystems.de haben nun alle (aktiven) Kundensysteme von Proxmox auf #OpenStack migriert.
Die Ausfallzeiten der VMs blieben jeweils unter 2 Minuten, durch den IP-Wechsel war das natürlich doch etwas länger.
Rückmeldungen bisher? Keine bis positiv. Ist doch auch was.
Warum haben wir es gemacht? Vereinheitlichung für uns, bessere Performance für die Kunden.
Congratulations @OpenInfra Platinum Member, Rackspace, for its launch of #Rackspace #OpenStack Flex, the latest product in its portfolio supporting #hybridcloud & #AI workloads.
Scalable, enterprise-ready, #opensource first.
Skype will shut down soon. I wanted an open source alternative so I tried Galene (https://galene.org/) multiple times to call my dad and it works very well.
For now, I spawn a disposable instance on OVHcloud using OpenTofu and the OpenStack provider. Then I configure the software using Ansible. The code is available here https://git.riou.xyz/jriou/galene-cloud.
Tomorrow, I would like to only host a TURN server on my VPS and self-host galene on my homelab.
Orrr. Dinge kaputt gespielt und eigentlich(tm) wieder gerade gebogen.
Also Radikalkur. Alles löschen und ein #git clone. #mise und ein #pip install.
Trotzdem will das #molecule unter #ansible nicht und ich verstehe den Fehler nicht.
Es ist *keine* angepasste create.yml und trotzdem schmiert es beim #openstack Plugin beim erstellen der Instanzen ab.
The error was: TypeError: fun() got an unexpected keyword argument 'tags'
Wo auch immer die Tags herkommen.

Explore how @KataContainers can be used with Zun to provide a secure and efficient container experience within #OpenStack
Integrating #Linux, #OpenStack and #Kubernetes — also known as the #OpenInfra Blueprint — is a popular architectural trend to ensure that your full stack is #opensource.
