Most of them are using +the os-win library. Some of these are: + +- Cinder Windows iSCSI and SMB drivers +- Neutron OVS Agent on Windows +- Ceilometer Polling Agent on Windows +- Manila Windows SMB Driver +- Designate Microsoft DNS Server backend support +- Kolla ansible role for Hyper-V +- involvements in other tangential projects like os-vif and os-brick + +Most of the efforts go towards ensuring and maintaining the functionality of +those drivers. One goal for the near future will be to transition our CIs to +using python3, since python2 is approaching its end of life. + +Recently, our focus was on the following items: + +- Glance Windows support, which we need for a usecase, allowing images to be + stored on S2D backed HA shares. +- ovsdb monitor support. +- adding log rotation options in our installers. +- general bug fixing and improvements, including python 3.6 related issues on + Windows. +- CI maintenance. + +As for the future, we plan on finishing any previously unfinished items, plus +a few othe items: + +- Upstreaming some features which are currently only on compute-hyperv, + including: Shielded VMs, Nova assisted volume snapshots. +- documentation updates. We have some all-purpose general documentation + regarding how to set up and configure the nodes, but it doesn't fit the + OpenStack style documentation, so it has to be adapted. + +New items will be added to the list when the need arises. New goals and +suggestions are always welcome. + +Thank you for your consideration, + +Claudiu Belu +
