I feel +like Rocky has been a whirlwind of a cycle with a lot of active participation +by developers, operators, and users. Thank you all for bearing with me for the +past cycle as I have learned the ropes of being a PTL. + +We accomplished a lot in Rocky, with some highlights including: + +* Experimented with a new review process, "review runways" +* Began using the new Neutron port binding API to minimize network downtime +* during live migrations +* Completed the placement side of nested resource providers (Nova integration + work still remains) +* Volume-backed instances will no longer claim root_gb for new instances and + existing instances will heal during move operations +* Made progress on removing nova-network-specific REST APIs +* Added a nova-manage command to purge archived shadow table data +* Doing more pre-filtering in placement before we iterate over compute host + candidates with FilterScheduler filters +* Added the ability to boot instances with trusted virtual functions +* Added the ability to disable a cell in cells v2 Added a way to mitigate + Meltdown/Spectre performance degradation via cpu flags + +Looking toward Stein, we have more work to do with integrating placement nested +resource providers into Nova, implementing migration of flat resource providers +=> nested tree-based resource providers in placement, adding more resiliency in +cells v2 for handling "down" or poorer performing cells, removing nova-network, +and more to be discussed and prioritized at the PTG [1]. + +It would be my privilege to serve the Nova community for another cycle and if +elected, I endeavor to do a better job using what I have learned during the +Rocky cycle. I am always trying to improve, so please feel free to share your +feedback with me. + +Thank you for your consideration. + +Best, +-melanie + +[1] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-ptg-stein
