Describes operating a 130-node OpenStack private cloud (including integration with Ceph) and a research project that automatically builds a knowledge graph from OpenStack system states and logs. Presents a natural-language interface that queries that graph to retrieve cross-module state information in plain English, and a simple anomaly-detection component that indicates likely causes of problems.
