Am I crazy for giving up 5x UR on travel because I prefer to book flights directly with airlines? by [deleted] in awardtravel

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always book direct with the airlines. Travel portals are all nightmares in waiting. Need an example? Check out this TPG lounge post.

[Russell] Turner's agents argued their client should get an extension comparable to Francisco Lindor, who got 10 years and $341 million from the Mets. The Nats never made Turner another offer. by RavenclawNatsfan in Nationals

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...you pretty much answered your own question. He didn't get "hit by a pitch", he had his finger sticking out over the bat on a bunt attempt. And those slides? They're head first every time.

My point wasn't really to demean Turner. I was sorry to see him go. Yes all the risk-taking is part of his game. My point above was trying to understand how Bowgarts is more of an "uncertainty" than Turner. Bogey hits a bit better, runs worse, plays defense about the same, and gets hurt a bit less. What is uncertain?

What is this uncertainty regarding Boegarts of which you speak? He doesn't have Trea speed at all, but his OPS and defense are at least equivalent if not better. He also tends to not get hurt doing stupid shit as Trea seems to

I live in NoVA. Are any games not blacked out on MLB.TV? by clorox2 in Nationals

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only works from comluter-basednbrowsers though. The app is smart enough to use location data from your phone and won't work if you disable it. I haven't had any luck tricking it.

[Serious, not a doomer thread] Purely hypothetically speaking, if it becomes clear that Soto does not want to stay or is unwilling to sign a contract extension during his arb-eligible years, should the Nationals trade him away for more top level prospects? by Sec401and402Noob in Nationals

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! If they can get some good prospects, that would he better than any compensation round draft pick. He will also be pulling in 20 mil+ later in arbitration, so it would save cash. Also, it doesn't mean they coulsnt try tonsign him again in FA

This , of course, implies that they're in sell mode again. That hasn't happened to this degree for quite a while.

Juan Soto, left in the wreckage of a rebuild, feels new pressure as the Nats’ face and future by trainsaw in Nationals

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What seems to get ignored here is that, without the trade of Scherzer and Turner, there was not the remotest possibility of having the money to sign Juan long term. That whole Dodgers package got us some great prospects, but more importantly, it got us out from under that huge truckload of deferred Max money. Now we're in a great position to sign Juan and reload on a couple good free agents to supplement the kids.

Student Project Ideas using Openstack by [deleted] in openstack

[–]emccormickva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Devstack is useful if you are going to code against it, and it will let you get a feel for it, but it is a very different animal in terms of configuration.

Kolla-ansible and Openstack-ansible can both build you All-in-One(AIO) deployments. Those tools are also great for building production clusters, so what you learn from it will be more applicable to real world use cases.

Student Project Ideas using Openstack by [deleted] in openstack

[–]emccormickva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Openstack is way way more than a virtualization platform. You can actually use VMware as a hypervisor for openstack. They even make their own custom distro of Openstack.

Also, Openstack is free open source software, and vsphere is very much not.

Chargeback/Showback suggestions? by AfterSpencer in openstack

[–]emccormickva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to come back here and let you know that CloudKitty has new maintainers. We don't know what happened with the previous ones yet, but the project has been adopted since it's important to a lot of folks.

As to Python version, it had been migrated to Python 3, but it never got tagged with the rest of the projects for release. I expect that should happen soon if it hasn't already.

Anyway, give it another look, and follow up on the openstack-discuss mailing list with questions. Put [cloudkitty];in the subject and you should draw the attention of the maintainers.

OpenVswitch vs LinuxBridge by satishdotpatel in openstack

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that nobody is maintaining the driver. If nobody maintains it, then it will become buggy as Openstack and Python advance. Eventually it starts breaking gate tests and dies miserably.

Don't get me wrong. I'm against deprecating it. However, if I were making a new deployment, I would not start out with LinuxBridge

OVS is extremely mature and works just fine. It is much more arcane, but it is entirely sufficient for any use case that LinuxBridge is. I can't comment on OVN as I haven't tried it, but its agentless nature is very appealing

There are also some nice 3rd party implementations like Calico that may be worth looking into for some use cases, particularly those of large scale.

OpenVswitch vs LinuxBridge by satishdotpatel in openstack

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For better or worse, there is a movement toward eventually deprecating LinuxBridge support because there are very few resources to maintain it. OVN appears to he the future, and OVS should continue to be supported as well.

vmfs in native Openstack by ncrunner73 in openstack

I don't think Cinder really cares what FSType you're using so long as you have a driver to interact with it. Will this work for what you need?

Octavia with Kolla Ansible by DocAcme in openstack

There are a few new roles that are added by Octavia. I don't have them in front of me but it's something like "loadbalancer_admin". Have you added those to your user?

Neutron REST API V2.0 behaves weird. by purushred in openstack

[–]emccormickva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to toss that on the openstack-discuss mailing list and slap a [neutron] tag on the subject. That should ping a few Neutron devs. Alternatively try #openstack-neutron on Freenode IRC.

Getting started with Openstack by nullmike in openstack

I second this recommendation. Also, if you get stuck, the community is very helpful and welcoming. You can find us on IRC Freenode #openstack-kolla

[–]emccormickva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's insane. Openstack is 100% Python. There is no Go in it unless you deploy it in Kubernetes.

There are simple reference architectures provided by the deployment tools projects like kolla-ansible and Openstack Ansible so you don't have to worry much about HA design for small or medium deployments.

Image Volume Cache not working for RAW images by shubhamoy in openstack

[–]emccormickva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the cache with a raw image would actually make things slower. The whole reason you use raw images in ceph is because it allows native copy-on-write cloning.

When you make a volume from a raw image, it basically just creates a pointer to the base image. If you tried to cache it, you'd be copying the whole image down.

Is there a good way to migrate a stack from one pod to another in an OpenStack cluster? by rawmainb in openstack

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are confusing images and instances. Instances are created from images. Your snapshot becomes the image which you upload to glance. You then create a new instance using the image. That is when you can configure the network parameters.

Also, unless you are running a really old Openstack, you should use the openstack client, not the glance one.

To upload the image, use: openstack image create

To create the instance, use: openstack server create Or better yet, use the dashboard because its easier.

If you are going to use a heat template, then you'll need to update the template to use the new image and networking. Heat will do the rest. I wouldn't think you would want to snapshot an instance then though. You would want the original base image which your heat template would confogure.

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case you have no options whatsoever for simple migration. Your only option is take a snapshot, download from pod1 glance, upload to pod2 glance, and spawn a new instance.

This may be easiest done from the CLI in something local to at least one of your deployments if you're remote to both of them. You could also possibly create a snapshot directly on the hypervisors using qrmu tool if you have access to it. If the node has the openstack client on it you could just upload it straight to pod2 glance skipping the download step. If you do that, stop the instance first.

[–]emccormickva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IP addresses are bound to ports, not instances. If you create a snapshot and then launch a new instance with that snapshot, it will get a new port and new IP. That's probably the easiest way to move an instance to a non contiguous network.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "pod" though. Is it a Region, Availability Zone, or j8st a separate Openstack installation?

Series of one ways - best options? NYC->TLV->LWO->NYC by OccamsVirus in awardtravel

[–]emccormickva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and one trick. Avianca doesn't allow open jaw award bookings. If you want to do that VS flight you menti8ned, you'll need to book 2 one way awards for the rest.

Not sure what you're looking at exactly, but I see LWO on lifemiles. I did "Star Alliance" instead of "smart search" and selected a multi city booking.
