![The term "Microservice Architecture" has sprung up
over the last few years to describe a particular way of
designing software applications as suites of
independently deployable services [with] certain
common characteristics […] around business capability,
automated deployment, intelligence in the endpoints,
and decentralized control of languages and data.

Learning to Scale OpenStack: Juno Update from the Rackspace Public Cloud
The document discusses the evolution of the OpenStack build, release, and deploy system, particularly during the Juno release in 2014. It details the upgrades made to the control plane, the transition from Puppet to Ansible, and the implementation of a microservice architecture. Key themes include the focus on customer satisfaction through agile software delivery and the technical challenges faced in managing deployment iterations.

Editor's Notes
- #3 This is one of my favorite quotes. Each six month cycle of OpenStack is a bit like a battle, where we vie with ourselves and the Community to deliver something exceptional. I have a whole bunch of letters I can put after my name to certify I know how to plan projects and implement effective software development processes, but I know from time in the real world as a software developer that a plan becomes useless as soon as it is created. The real value comes from the process of planning, the conversations you have with the important people involved in whatever you are trying to accomplish. The whole OpenStack Design Summit is a testament to how important planning is, even though after another six months of internal and external collaboration and conflict, what we deliver as a community next Spring may only loosely resemble what we plan this week.
- #4 Intent of Talk: to bring everyone up to speed on the last six months at Rackspace and provide a framework to leverage and adapt should you find yourself needing to upgrade a production cloud at scale yourself.

- #5 When I’m honest with myself, the best laid plans of mice and men, women, and unicorns generally end up looking a bit like this. We start with unicorns and rainbows and “this is going to be great!” at the start with a tangled mess of “didn’t expect that to happen” somewhere in the middle before we get to the end state. For the OpenStack community – operators, users, developers – I get the sense that we’re in the tangle right now after four years of unicorns and rainbows.
- #27 We were fairly successful in collaborating on our solutions. My coworker, Chris Blumentritt, will be diving in to the work we’ve done in conjunction with the Cloud Servers development team to implement nova-conductor and graceful compute shutdowns on Wednesday at 11:50. At 3:30 on Wednesday, teammates from the build release deploy systems team will breakdown how we handle the packaging from upstream OpenStack.
