     CloudEnvy -- vagrant for OpenStack
     <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2012/10/28/cloudenvy-vagrant-for-openstack/>

What's CloudEnvy? Joe Heck <http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp> says it is "the 
most interesting illustration of CloudEnvy is using it to spin up an 
instance in a cloud, and then run devstack 
<https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack> in that instance."

     Multifactor Auth and Keystone
     <http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/multifactor-auth-and-keystone/>

The topic of how to enforce multifactor authentication with Keystone 
tokens came up often during the Design Summit in San Diego. Adam Young 
<http://adam.younglogic.com/> wrote a summary of the discussions. Link 
to the blueprint.

     PKI tokens and Horizon
     <http://adam.younglogic.com/2012/10/pki-tokens-horizon/>

With PKI, tokens have gone from 40 byte to 3000.  This plus additional 
payload in Horizon means that they no longer fit inside an HTTP cookie.  
How do we deal with this?
