That's why I'm I'm announcing my candidacy for +Cinder PTL for the Mitaka release. That doesn't mean that I'm working at half +strength now. It means that I would like to give as much benefits to Cinder and +OpenStack as I can. + +We as cinder community did great job to have Rolling Upgrades landed in Mitaka. +It's really cool. We introduced new Replication v2.1 version in the middle of +cycle but we've already got few drivers which implemented it. API microversions +are also very useful thing. It allows us to change our API faster and do not +break any existing API user. We started work on Active/Active HA for +cinder-volume process. I really hope that we'll have this feature implemented +in the next release. + + +As PTL I would like to bring more attention to the following areas during +Newton release cycle. These things are important not only for Cinder community +but for any Cinder users and other OpenStack projects too. + + +* Cinde quality and stability. I don't say that Cinder is not stable enough. I + mean that it would be great if we'll improve our test coverage and testing + strategy including 3-rd party CI. See my mail in openstack-dev mailing list + for details [1]. + +* We've got a lot of technical debt and Newton could be a good time to fix it: + finish started features like A/A HA, get more Replication v2.1 + implementations from vendors, fix architectural issues which do not allow us + to implement new features faster, fix Cinder-Nova related issues. + +* Make Cinder viable as a stand-alone volume manager. It means, Cinder will + work without Nova and you'll be available to attach volumes to any host. We + finished first part of this task in Mitaka, now we have to continue work on + it. + +* Ironic integration: We talk with Ironic team about it for several last + summits. I started work on attach feature in scope of 'Cinder Without Nova' + initiative. Full integration with Ironic is very important for every Cinder + and Ironic user. Let's do it. + + +Last but not least, I do understand that being PTL is full-time job which will +require a lot of communications in a different time-zones. I'd like to say, +I'm ready for it. + +[1] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-March/088034.html + +Thank you, +Ivan Kolodyazhny (e0ne) + +
