Mailing List

Operators have used a dedicated mailing list until November 2018. You can read the openstack.operators archive which contain plenty of valuable information. Currently there is a joint mailing list for developer and operator to subscribe. More generic information about mailing lists can be found in the Communication page's communication-mailing-lists section.

IRC Channels

There is the #openstack-operators channel on Freenode IRC for live conversations and Operators' team meeting. On top of the #openstack-operators channel there are several others. More generic information about IRC channels can be found in the irc-channels section of the IRC page.

Meet Ups

Operators' Meetups give people who run clouds a place to congregate, swap best practices, ideas and give feedback. It has a mostly round table/working/discussion session feel, with only a small number of presentations, with the following aims:

  1. Gather feedback on the issues that come up in running OpenStack and work to communicate this throughout the community
  2. Create a forum in which to share best practices and architectures between interested parties
  3. Increase constructive, proactive involvement from those running clouds

Share and Learn From Real Configurations

Example configurations for various OpenStack services are provided in the openstack/osops-example-configs repository. Operators can share their configuration files to help others, and review how others setup and tune their configurations.
