OpenStack Network Benchmark on FreeBSD

Today I run some benchmarks for nova on Xen.

Nova status

I’ve created a git repository for the OpenStack nova ports with my changes. Please note, it’s still experimental, in development and not intended for production use.

Glance and Hybrid Cloud

Yesterday I configured hybrid cloud with Keystone and Glance on FreeBSD and Nova on Linux.

Installing Keystone on FreeBSD

In this tutorial we will install Keystone from Newton release on FreeBSD.

Keystone status

I successfully got keystone working from Newton release on FreeBSD.

It uses fernet keys with a natural lifecycle instead of UUID/memcached and MySQL for database backend. Also it’s possible to use sqlite or postgre but mysql/mariadb/percona are recommended for production.
