All,
|
||||
|
||||
I served as Manila PTL for Rocky and Stein and am willing and able to
|
||||
take on that role in Train if you choose me.
|
||||
|
||||
I continue to be less interested in adding new features to Manila
|
||||
itself than in improving its durability, ease of use, and
|
||||
consumability.
|
||||
|
||||
I will continue to get the message out that Manila is loosely coupled
|
||||
with other OpenStack components and serves up storage via the network
|
||||
rather than through hypervisors so that it is ideally positioned to
|
||||
provide shared file storage both within and outside of OpenStack proper.
|
||||
|
||||
I will work to make sure that storage vendors understand that if they
|
||||
maintain drivers for their back ends in Manila then this will at the
|
||||
same time enable them to provide storage for OpenStack consumers and
|
||||
also for Container Orchestrator clouds.
|
||||
|
||||
I will continue to champion development of "**production quality**"
|
||||
100% open source storage back ends for Manila.
|
||||
|
||||
We have done a good job fostering new contributors and helping
|
||||
outreachy intern applicants get started. I want us to continue to be
|
||||
known as a friendly project and a good place to work.
|
||||
|
||||
In Train we need to complete work already begun to:
|
||||
|
||||
* build a manila CSI plugin
|
||||
|
||||
* integrate manila into the OpenStack Client and SDK
|
||||
|
||||
* integrate manila into OpenStack ansible and extend TripleO coverage
|
||||
to more storage back ends.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, in the Train cycle I want the Manila project to take up
|
||||
the challenge of shared storage as a service at the Edge. We need to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Articulate use cases for shared storage (vs block or object) at the
|
||||
Edge.
|
||||
|
||||
* Drive common understanding of appropriate service architecture for
|
||||
Edge.
|
||||
|
||||
* Position vendors and open source software defined back ends for
|
||||
Edge deployments using Manila.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the things that will drive me if you choose me as manila PTL.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for listening,
|
||||
|
||||
-- Tom Barron (tbarron)
