You probably use cat everyday. Did you know that tac existed ? It’s
the reverse of cat! (no, really).
The second meetup of Openstack Montreal, in collaboration with iWeb, Enovance and Savoir-faire Linux, will happen at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) monday march 17th.
If you use Puppet at all, you should be using Hiera if you’re not already !
Back on January 1st, I wrote about my initiative regarding a client for the Ceph REST API made in python.
I’ve been using Google Chrome for a couple years, before that I was
using Firefox 3.
My main reason for switching over at the time was the huge difference
in browsing speed.
After learning there was an API for Ceph, it was clear to me that I was going to write a client to wrap around it and use it for various purposes.
I learned that there was a Ceph REST API and I experimented with it a bit.
I was preparing an update for a Xenserver pool with over 100 VMs on it and I forgot that when you apply patches on Xenserver nodes, you need to eject images/ISO/DVDs from the virtual machines.
Like I mentioned in my previous post, Ceph has a REST API now. That opens a lot of possibilities.
Ceph is a distributed object store and file system designed to
provide excellent performance, reliability and scalability.
It’s a technology I’ve been following and working with for the past
couple months, especially around deploying it with puppet, I really
have a feeling it is going to revolutionize the world of storage.
