Hello everyone!
I would like to announce my candidacy for the Winstackers PTL election for the
upcoming cycle.
I have been involved in OpenStack since Havana, and even longer with Hyper-V
and Windows related technologies, and I have been the PTL of Winstackers since
its beginning.
In the past cycle, we had a few primary focuses:
* Expanded the number of tests and Hyper-V related features tested. For this
purpose, we've added the oswin-tempest-plugin repository, and we've added
a few dozen tests used to validate different features and scenarios. This
tempest plugin will continue to be updated and expanded, covering new
features in upcoming cycles.
* Added several new features, including: SR-IOV support (os-win and
networking-hyperv), NIC hardware offload support (os-win), SAN policy
getter / setter, attaching / detaching VHD to hosts, and so on.
* Using release notes for any note-worthy new features we've added in os-win
and networking-hyperv.
* Bug fixing and increasing the reliability of the networking-hyperv, os-win
library, and their unit tests. For unit tests, we've started mock autospecs,
which ensures that non-existent attributes are not used, and that mocked
method calls have their signatures respected.
In the following cycle, I'd like to continue the work we started on
oswin-tempest-plugin and include the tests in regular Hyper-V CI runs.
Additionally, documentation always needs work and updates.
Last, but not least, I would like us to continue integrating the aforementioned
features we've introduced in os-win in other projects (nova, cinder,
networking-hyperv, and so on). A feature of personal interest would be the
usage of SR-IOV VFs, IOV queues, VMQs, and IPSec task offloading capabilities
which are available for Hyper-V and how to schedule and consume them through
nova / neutron.
These are the main goals I have in mind that I would like to accomplish during
the Rocky cycle, among other minor goals. We will continue to support the
drivers / plugins we've added to other projects, and we'll continue to add new
features to them. New goals and suggestions are always welcome.
Thank you for your consideration,
Claudiu Belu
