rackspace

Walt Disney said it best:

There’s plenty to like about the POWER8 architecture: high speed interconnections, large (and flexible) core counts, and support for lots of memory.

It all started shortly after I joined Rackspace in December of 2006.

The 2016 Red Hat Summit is underway in San Francisco this week and I delivered a talk with Robyn Bergeron earlier today.

I received some good feedback about my post on systemd-networkd and bonded interfaces on Rackspace’s OnMetal servers, and I decided to write about another use case.

I’ve written about systemd-networkd in the past and how easy it can be to set up new network devices and tunnels.

Fedora 22 will be arriving soon and it’s easy to test on Rackspace’s cloud with my Ansible playbook:

Fedora 21 reached Alpha status last month and will reach beta status at the end of October.

I was shocked to see Robyn Bergeron’s email today about Seth Vidal’s passing.

Troy Toman delivered a great keynote this morning about OpenStack and how Rackspace uses it:

While working on multiple nova (OpenStack Compute) environments at Rackspace, I found myself thrashing between multiple terminal windows where I had exported environment variables for python-novaclient to use.

You’ve probably noticed that the blog has slowed down a bit recently.

My quest to get better at Python led me to create a new project on GitHub.

The grades came back last Friday and I’ve passed the last exam in the requirements to become a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA).

As promised in my earlier post entitled Kerberos for haters, I’ve assembled the simplest possible guide to get Kerberos up an running on two CentOS 5 servers.

If you work for a growing company like I do, it’s inevitable that you’ll have to do your fair share of interviewing.

Anyone who says management is easy obviously hasn’t done it for very long or they’re not doing their job very well.

On most systems, using Fedora’s preupgrade package is the most reliable way to update to the next Fedora release.

NOTE: This post is out of date and is relevant only for GlusterFS 2.

I’ll admit it right now: I love engaging customers and learning more about how what we do at Rackspace can help their business or ideas take flight.

I normally try to keep my work-related items separate from this blog, but I felt that I needed to break tradition for a moment.

As some of you might know, I interviewed for a position at Google in April of this year.
