I have been working on +the OpenStack Infrastructure as a core reviewer and root user for about +five years now. During this time I have done just about everything an +Infrastructure team member can do except for take on PTL duties. I +would like to give that role a shot now. + +The Infrastructure team has accomplished amazing things to scale both +up and out. We run a large set of services that can handle thousands of +test jobs per hour merging hundreds of commits per day. I am proud to +have been a part of the work to make this possible; however, looking +forward I think we face a new set of challenges. + +In particular I see a need for making our Infrastructure more sustainable +so that it can weather the changing priorities of our community. +I think we can do that by focusing on these three items: + + * Continue to automate all the things + * Simplify the process of consuming Infrastructure resources + * Run more of the Infrastructure in multiple clouds + +Deploying Zuul v3 in order to make continuous integration configuration +properly self service will go a long way to making this a reality. +I would also like to see the team take lessons learned from Nodepool and +Zuul's use of distributed state management to properly distribute other +services so that they can be run in multiple cloud regions or even +across multiple clouds. + +I can not do these things alone; it will require a team effort. If you'd +like to see the Infrastructure team work towards these goals I will do +my best as PTL to ensure we work as a team to accomplish these goals. + +Thank you for your consideration, +Clark
