Dropping KEYSTONE_CATALOG_BACKEND – Plus Update Your Devstack Plugins

  • Devstack has some half baked support for Keystone templated service catalog.
  • In an effort to clean up parts of Devstack, we’re dropping that [2].
  • This breaks everyone’s Devstack plugin that references the KEYSTONE_CATALOG_BACKEND variable.
  • This variable will be kept around until Newton development opens up.

Proposal: Separate Design Summits From OpenStack Conferences

  • The OpenStack design summits originally started out as working events.
  • The OpenStack summits growing more marketing and sales focus, the contributors attending are often unfocused.
  • Some contributors submit talks for the conference, because their company says it’s the only way for them to attend the conference. Part of the reason for this is the cost of attending.
  • Thierry Carrez (who helps organize the design summit) explains that he has been working a solution for separation of the summit and the conference himself, and the Foundation is finalizing a strawman proposal that will be pushed to the community for comments soon.

Ten robot cheerleaders isn’t enough when it comes to celebrating Chinese New Year. To kick off the year of the monkey, Chinese broadcaster CCTV’s TV special included 540 dancing robots, with a fleet of drones to top it all off with a layer of glitter. The robots thrust, do handstands, and dance in that ever-so-robotic way (in unison), but it’s the sheer scale that makes it must-see. Watch the spectacle below.

Service Type vs. Project Name For Use In Headers

  • There’s a question of whether we should be using service type or project names in headers. Some reviews involving this [7][8][9][10].
  • We should be selecting things that better serve the API consumers and according to Dean Troyer the API working group is going in the right direction.
  • The service type as the primary identifier for endpoints and API services is well established, and is how the service catalog has and will always work. Service types therefore should be the way to go.

OpenStack Ansible Without Containers

  • Gyorgy annouces a new installer for OpenStack under GPLv3 using Ansible, but without containers.
    • Reasons for another installer since we already have the OpenStack Ansible project and Kolla:
      • Containers adding unnecessary complexity.
      • Packages: avoid mixing pip and distributor packages. Distributor packages includes things like init scripts, proper system users, upgrade possibilities, etc.
        • Kevin Carter mentions that these benefits are actually also included with the OpenStack Ansible project.
  • Without containers, upgrading a single controller can be tricky and disruptive since you have to upgrade every service at the same time. Rollbacks are also easier.
  • OpenStack Ansible project can already today do deployment without containers using the is_metal=true variable.

“No Open Core” in 2016

  • Before OpenStack had a name, the “four opens” principles were created to define how we operate as a community.
  • In 2010 when OpenStack started, it was different from other open source cloud platforms (Eucalyptus) which followed open core strategy of producing a crippled community edition and an “enterprise version”.
  • Today we have a non-profit independent foundation, which cannot do an “enterprise edition”.
    • Today member companies build “enterprise products” on top of the apache licensed upstream project. Some are drivers that expose functionality in proprietary components.
  • What does it mean to “not do open core” in 2016? What is acceptable and what’s not?
  • Thierry Carrez believes it’s time to refresh this of what is an acceptable official project in OpenStack.
    • It should have a fully-functional production grade open source implementation
    • If you need proprietary software of commercial entity to fully use the project, then it should not be accepted in OpenStack as an official project.
      • These projects can still be non-official projects and still be hosted by OpenStack infrastructure.
  • Doug Hellmann brings up Poppy [11] which is applying to be an official OpenStack project.
    • A wrapper to content delivery networks, but there is no open source solution.
    • Is this something that can be an official project, or is open core?
  • Full thread: http://bit.ly/1Q0gDIx

The Trouble with Names

  • A few issues have crept up recently with the service catalog, API headers, API end points, and even similarly named resources in different resources (e.g. backup), that are all circling around a key problem. Distributed teams and naming collision.
  • Each project has a unique name that is ensured by their git repository in the OpenStack namespace.
  • There’s a desire to replace project names with generic names like nova/compute in:
    • service catalog
    • api headers
  • Options we have are:
    • Use the code names we already have: nova, glance, swift, etc.
      • Upside: collision problem solved.
      • Downside: You need a secret decoder ring to know what a project does.
    • Have a registry of common names.
      • Upside: we can safely use common names everywhere and not fear collision down the road.
      • Downside: yet another contention point.
  • Approvals by the various people in the community to have a registry of the common names. Maybe in the governance projects.yaml file [12]?
    • This list does include only the official projects by the technical committee, therefore only those projects can reserve the common names.
  • OpenStack Client has already encoded some of these common names to projects [13].

Announcing Ekko – Scalable Block-Based Backup for OpenStack

  • The goal of Ekko is to provide incremental block-level backup and restore of Nova instances.
  • Two place with overlapping goals:
    • Cinder volume without having the incremental backups be dependent.
    • Nova instances
      • OpenStack Freezer today leverages Nova’s snapshot feature.
      • Ekko would leverage live incremental block-level backup of a nova instance.
  • Jay Pipes begins the discussion on the two projects (Freezer and Ekko) working together to make sure their REST API endpoints are not overlapping. Having two APIs for performing backups that are virtually identical is not good.
  • The creator of Ekko sees the reason for another backup project because of “actual implementation and end results are wildly different” even if they are the same API call.
  • Jay doesn’t like that today all the following endpoints exist:
    • Freezer’s /backups
    • Cinder’s /{tenant_id}/backups
  • Having these endpoints make for bad user experience and is just confusing.
  • The current governance model does not prevent competition of projects. So if two projects overlap in API endpoints, there should be an attempt in collaboration.

Car screens are getting force touch tech

The content below is taken from the original (Car screens are getting force touch tech), to continue reading please visit the site. Remember to respect the Author & Copyright.

Large touchscreen infotainment systems have become an important feature in modern cars, but they can also be a huge distraction for drivers. Synaptics thinks it would help if you could "feel" the screen, so it teamed with auto accessory supplier Valeo to create a new type of automotive display. It will be equipped with the company’s ClearForce tech that provides force sensing and haptic feedback. The idea is to provide a safer interface that supports single finger, multi- and variable haptic touch, so that drivers or passengers can use the interface without looking at it.

There’s no word of which manufacturers and automakers will be using the screens, or when new devices will come out. On smartphones like the iPhone 6s, force touch screens are particularly handy for features like scrolling, and can be used as a quasi right-click to bring up menus or additional information. Haptic feedback, meanwhile, could signal to drivers that songs or GPS directions have started and keep (most of) your attention outside of the vehicle. For more on Synaptics’ force tech, check out its video from last year.

Mitsubishi’s SeaAerial is an antenna made of seawater

The content below is taken from the original (Mitsubishi’s SeaAerial is an antenna made of seawater), to continue reading please visit the site. Remember to respect the Author & Copyright.

Mitsubishi has developed an unusual alternative to conventional antennae, and it uses seawater instead of metallic conductors. The new system called SeaAerial shoots conductive plumes of seawater into the air to emulate a tall tower and transmit/receive radio-frequency waves. Mitsubishi even believes it could be the first seawater antenna that can receive digital terrestrial TV broadcasts you can watch. (You can see a small-scale sample of a working SeaAerial connected to a TV above.)

The company developed a special nozzle to spew out the seawater plumes, since they need to be insulated to work. It also had to determine the plume diameter ideal for transmitting signals and managed to compute for a size that achieves a 70 percent efficiency. Since SeaAerial is comprised of only two components (a pump and an insulated nozzle), it can be installed anywhere where seawater is accessible. In the future, they could be built on shores, in the middle of the sea or even on land if the company can figure out how to contain and recycle the water it’s using.

Update: Google also developed a seawater antenna in 2009, as you can see in this YouTube video. [Thanks for the tip, Stephen Rusboldt!]

Google’s AI is the first to defeat a Go champion

The content below is taken from the original (Google’s AI is the first to defeat a Go champion), to continue reading please visit the site. Remember to respect the Author & Copyright.

Google’s DeepMind division has pulled off an impressive milestone. It’s AI has beaten a top ranked Go player five matches to zero. While computers winning chess matches against professional players has been old hat for a while, the computational power needed to master the Chinese game is astronomical. According to Google, there are more possible moves in a game of Go than there are atoms in the universe.

The company built a system called AlphaGo just to tackle the game’s nearly infinite possibilities. Instead of just trying to determine all the possible combinations of a game like it would with chess, the team feed the system’s neural network 30 million moves from professional players then had it learn how to create its own strategies by playing itself using a trail and error process called reinforcement learning.

All that training took up huge amounts of processing power and had to be offloaded to the Google Cloud Platform.

It then invited reigning three-time European Go champion Fan Hui to its office to play against AlphaGo. The computer defeated him. Google was quick to point out that beating a human at Go is, "just one rung on the ladder to solving artificial intelligence."

AlphaGo is now slotted to take on world champion Lee Sedol in March.

Technical Committee Highlights January 22, 2016

Upstream development track – please submit

We’ll have an “Upstream development” track at the Austin Summit. It will happen on the Monday, before the Design Summit starts. This is a classic Summit conference track with recorded videos, so we want polished proposals for this track. We expect these to include general communication about development process changes, new features in a central project that need adoption in other projects, corner use cases that may need support from development, developer-oriented infra talks and upstream development best practices. To propose a talk for this track, use the Summit proposal system, select Upstream development, and meet the February 1st deadline.

Our mission

The OpenStack overall mission has stood proudly for years now, and is due for an update to increase focus on cloud consumers rather than solely on cloud builders. So we have proposed an amendment to the original mission. You can read the current and proposed new mission on governance.openstack.org.

And now, even more doc

In a clarification effort, we pushed the definition of the 4 opens, as well as clarified OpenStack licensing requirements as reference documents under the governance repository. Previously those were maintained in oral tradition, the wiki, or left as an exercise to the reader of the Foundation bylaws. You can now find them published (like all Technical Committee resolutions and reference information) on the governance website.

The names are here! The names are here!

The N and O releases directly after Mitaka will be Newton and Ocata. For the Austin Summit, the tie-in is to the “Newton House”, located at 1013 E. Ninth Street in Austin, Texas. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For the Barcelona Summit, know that Ocata is a beach about 20 minutes north of Barcelona by train.

Clarifying licensing requirements

A new governance page clarifies guidelines for licensing for projects in and around OpenStack.  We want to raise awareness and highlight that page for future reference. In the subset of OpenStack projects that may be included in a Defcore trademark program, the project must be licensed under Apache Software License v2, ASLv2. Libraries and software built in the OpenStack infrastructure system should use OSI-approved licenses that do not restrict distribution of the consuming project.

Stabilization Cycles: Elaborating on the Idea To Move It Forward

  • At the Tokyo summit, the OpenStack Development Theme session, in which people discuss overall focus in shared efforts, having cycles to stabilize projects was brought up.
  • A project could decide to spend some percentage of time of the cycle on focusing on bug fixing, review backlog, refactoring, instead of entirely on new features.
  • Projects are already empowered to do this, however, maybe the TC could work on formalizing this process so that teams have a reference when they want to.
  • Some contributors from the summit feel they need the Technical Committee to take leadership on this, so that they can sell it back to their companies.
  • Another side of discussion, healthy projects should naturally come up with bursts of feature additions and burst of repaying technical debt continuously.
    • Imposing specific periods of stabilization prevents reaching that ideal state.
