I am announcing my candidacy for Queens PTL role of Watcher project. 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.
|
