There is a new site on the main Openstack portal: http://activity.openstack.org/. When looking around to see what information you can find there I stumble upon this post below.
What came as a surprise:
High position for IBM.
Not Rackspace or Canonical or Mirantis but Red Hat as a number one contributor.
But as the Neutron continues to bring new and advance networking features with every consecutive Openstack release ( Havana Neutron features) there is always a fear that it may become very complex and difficult to troubleshoot. To help to fill the gap the video from Dave Neary (slides are here Networking in OpenStack for non-networking people) is taking us on the journey what cloud networking and Neutron is as well as showing the basic troubleshooting every one should be aware of.
Neutron troubleshooting
These couple of slides from the video summarized very well what troubleshooting actions you can do when dealing with network connectivity problems from and to your VM. For more info watch the video yourself.
As the cloud technology continues to evolve we see even more new cool product names that vendors advertise. One of these is Cloudforms from Redhat. But what does Redhat Cloudforms do and where it can be used? The answer can be found in one of the slides from Redhat Summit 2013.
Profile: Curious systems engineer interested in many of the IT technologies but especially in cloud systems and network engineering. A quick learner who likes to tinker and who often spent time researching and trying new technologies for personal and business benefit.

Please note that the code available here is only for demonstration purposes. If you want to be serious, you'll have to make it more robust and integrate it. Also, the description is by no means a definitive reference on any of the subjects, but rather the result of my experimentation. Feel free to report any bugs or errors you find in the code or otherwise in the articles. Thanks
