Howard started OpenStack acceleration mission +discussion from Telco requirements and formally established OpenStack +Cyborg project as well as the basic infrastructure in Rocky release. +Then during the stein release, with Li as the PTL, we substantially +achieved important progress particularly in refactoring Database schema +and defining clean device object models for future work. In both cycles, +we had several important and illuminating discussions with Nova developers +to define how Cyborg would interact with Nova. In the following train +and ussuri releases, under Sundar's leadership, cyborg has reached an +exciting and significant milestone, where basic cyborg-nova integration +is implemented. That means we finally can manage accelerators and boot +instances with accelerators. + +I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart to all the cyborg +sponsors, PTLs and core reviewers(both current and ex) who have contributed +patchsets, implement key features, and help improve cyborg architecture. +I also want to thank thoes who have helped cyborg in many other ways +like promoting cyborg in other opensource communities or conferences, +writing blogs, using it and give feedback, etc. It's too hard to list +them all. Thank you all for creating cyborg! + +As we move forward, there is still potential in Cyborg. Here are the +items that in my mind to accomplish in the Victoria cycle: + +* Complement cyborgclient especially those related to the new V2 API +* Implement policy check for all APIs +* High-priority functional code refactoring like handle placement + exception when cyborg report data to placement, patch arq from + conductor etc +* Improve Nova-integration to support more like hotplug,resize,migration +* Implement tempest for new cases +* Improve docs including api-ref, user-doc etc +* Other Possible tasks like new driver support are also welcome + +Thanks. +Yumeng Bao
