Nginx Variables

Embedded Variables

The ngx_http_core_module module supports embedded variables with names matching the Apache Server variables. First of all, these are variables representing client request header fields, such as $http_user_agent, $http_cookie, and so on. Also there are other variables:

  • $arg_name
    argument name in the request line

Running OpenStack Nova with PyPy

Overview

For those that are unfamiliar with the project, PyPy is an implementation of the Python language that features a JIT Compiler. I have noticed a huge performance benefit in some personal projects by switching to PyPy. I have always been curious how it would perform on a large and complex project like OpenStack, but my early experiments ran into massive roadblocks around broken dependencies.

It has been six months since I last looked, so I figured it was time to try it again. Support has come a long way and, now that lxml is working, we are close enough to get a Proof-of-Concept running. Read on for instructions on running nova with PyPy.

Preparation

Start out with a base ubuntu 12.04 (precise) install and run devstack. I won't go through the details of getting devstack running here, because there are already instructions on the devstack site.
