He wanted to be able to follow his sons numbers while out on a date night, and didnt want to wait for a completely proprietary solution to come along. Hence their hashtag wearenotwaiting.They documented how to use Heroku for a button-click deployment from a GitHub repo. They documented how to use a free Azure website with a simple web form to fill out to get a node.js server. They documented how to connect a free MongoLabs account so that data from the continuous glucose monitor could be stored and displayed on the web, on a smart phone app, and even on smart watches like the Pebble.Since Im a mom with access to a lot of free open source cloud resources, I wanted to find out what it would take to deploy on OpenStack instead of the other free stacks, so I got to work. I spun up a Cloud Server at Rackspace and configured it to use MongoLabs. Later I moved the data layer to Object Rocket by Rackspace. I learned how to configure node.js environment variables to use credentials for the Dexcom REST API so the Nightscout app could retrieve and display my sons glucose levels all day and night.We definitely got some more peace of mind for date nights, and I love that I can give the web site URL to a babysitter as needed. I know there are a lot of considerations still, such as securing the site, ensuring the data is protected if needed, and making sure the site stays up even if the server reboots.I work on the developer experience team at Rackspace and we are constantly working on polishing the sharp edges of cutting-edge cloud technologies. We want to make deployment easier, make apps more resilient and secure, and understand workflows for devs. I plan to keep working for that user and find more application developers at the OpenStack Summits who can share their journey with me and work to make it better.This morning in Tokyo, the OpenStack Foundation announced the Certified OpenStack Administrator exam, available from early 2016. At hastexo, weve not only committed ourselves to supporting this certification when it becomes available, but were also doing so as part of crossover community work with Open edX.In OpenStacks sixth and most comprehensive user survey, OpenStack showed its increasing maturity, with 60 percent of deployments in production compared to just 32 percent reported in our survey less than two years ago. The report, based on the late September 2015 survey, was released October 26 at the OpenStack board meeting and online.More than twice as many OpenStack users (1,315 in total) participated in this survey cycle. Their top business driver for choosing OpenStack is to accelerate innovation and compete by deploying applications faster. Most users indicated strong interest in emerging technologies such as containers, network functions virtualization (NFV) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS).The flexibility of OpenStacks platform was exemplified by the top five block storage drivers eking out just a few percentage of adoption points over a veritable plethora of others, the proliferation of container systems and the continued rise of non-hypervisor drivers in use with Nova such as Ironic bare metal.As always, there are areas for improvement. Taking the biggest hits this round were Neutron, which was criticized for its complexity Ceilometer, for its scalability and documentation for a variety of issues. OpenStacks overall complexity remains a barrier to entry, with the big tent governance change creating confusion among many users and raising concerns about a lack of focus and coordination among services.On the whole, OpenStack continues to be loved by users for its technology and its community, with dozens of comments lauding inclusiveness, access and support. OpenStack earned a Net Promoter Score of 25, substantially higher than the software industry average of 19. Among users with deployments in production, that score rockets to 43, putting OpenStack in the top tier for excellence.The User Surveys goal is to better understand the attitudes, organizational profiles, use cases, and technology choices across the communitys various deployment stages and sizes. Project-specific feedback was also provided to project leaders. The survey questions and report are guided by the OpenStack User Committee with the support of Foundation staff and an independent data scientist.Ive always enjoyed traveling to Tokyo, Japan, as the people are always so friendly and willing to help. Whether its finding my way through the Narita airport or just trying to find a place to eat, theyre always willing to help even with the language barrier. And each time I visit, I see something new, learn another word (or two) in Japanese, and it all just seems new and exciting all over again. Add in the excitement and buzz of an OpenStack Summit and youve got a great week in TokyoSince the official start of the OpenStack Summit is Tuesday, were mostly spending the day on Monday setting up and getting ready. The Red Hat team is working diligently to setup the booth, preparing our product demonstrations, and our session speakers are putting the final touches on their presentations.Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, Jonathan Bryce will address the crowd for this Falls Summit, in what Im sure will be a great presentation, filled with exciting announcements. Be sure to catch Jonathans keynote Tuesday at 9am JP, along with several other keynoters, including Lachlan Evenson, Egle Sigler from Rackspace, and Takuya Ito from Yahoo, who will be sharing their experience with deploying OpenStack at Yahoo Japan.After the keynotes, be sure to stop by the Red Hat booth P7 to check out our live product demonstrations. Well be showing Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform , Red Hat CloudForms hybrid management tool, Red Hat Ceph Storage , and a demonstration of our use of Linux Containers with OpenShift and Atomic Host . Well also be sharing with you information about our expert services and upstream community projects, such as RDO .
