If you +don't know yet, my name is Alexander Chadin, I'm alexchadin on IRC. I've been +working on Watcher project since March 2016. I served as PTL for Pike cycle +and this cycle was a difficult one. But we have implemented a lot of +blueprints and bug fixes along with general Pike goals. + +I'd like to set the following goals for Queens cycle: + +* Support baremetal in Watcher. + + We have requests from ZTE to add Ironic-based strategy along with + baremetal model. It will allow Watcher to manage power of vm-free hosts in + case of consolidation goals. To do so, we also need to implement "power on" + and "power off" actions. + +* Investigate ability to support containers. + + As you may know, almost all companies which uses VMs are trying to work with + containers and orchestration services like Kubernates. We could add cold + migration actions at least Docker or use OpenStack Zun to get access to + containers backed by different container technologies. + +* Bug triaging. + + The functional gate job of Watcher is pretty unstable (2-3 tests fails + time by time) and should be fixed. Every bug fix (with submitted bug report) + across our repos should be reviewed as soon as possible. + +* Complete HA support for Watcher + + There were some patches that allows Watcher to launch services in parallel. + All we need is to implement schedule mechanism and make sure we have + persisted all the things which are using during optimization process. + +I'd like to thank our wonderful team for Pike cycle and I hope we will make +it better! Stay tuned. + +Alex \ No newline at end of file
