Recently I had a customer asking about how our solutions suite works and what we can do with it. RedHat for me is one of the only companies in the world who can pretty much deliver the full stack from infrastructure up to application and back. With RHEL OSP8 we even include OpenDaylight which means…

As you might know Red Hat released a new version of the OpenStack (Kilo) installer based on tripleO and Ironic. One of the reason why Red Hat went with tripleO and ironic is that you will be able to extend and upgrade an existing OSP 7 environment. Part 1 of the blog series is about…
I am working with old equipment in my home lab which sometimes brings more complexity into my deployments. In case of tripleO and ironic my old hardware was actually beneficial to learn how ironic and triple0 works. I am working with BL465c G6 and SB40c which have a e200/p400 controller. RHEL7.x does not recognize these…
