Hi,
|
|
|
|
I would like to submit my candidacy to continue as PTL of Solum for the Newton cycle.
|
|
|
|
In Mitaka we accomplished several things including,
|
|
- completion of app and workflow API model
|
|
- ability to scale application instances
|
|
- ability to deploy pre-built application containers
|
|
- made Solum's devstack and vagrant development environments stable
|
|
- kept up with upstream in regards to release tools and various plugins
|
|
- got new contributors
|
|
|
|
For Newton cycle, I believe we have following challenges in front of us.
|
|
- Code stability
|
|
We need to focus on adding more tests towards improving code stability
|
|
|
|
- Documentation
|
|
Our getting started guide can be improved considerably so that
|
|
it further lowers the barrier for new contributors to get a working
|
|
Solum environment. We need to improve documentation for sample applications
|
|
that we provide within solum repository.
|
|
|
|
- Horizon plugin
|
|
We have a horizon plugin, but we have not actively maintained it in last
|
|
few cycles. Now that the new API is in place,
|
|
it is time for us to revisit the plugin and get it working again.
|
|
|
|
- Deprecating plans and assemblies
|
|
When we started Solum, the abstractions of plans and assemblies provided good
|
|
starting points for modeling applications and their deployments. Over time
|
|
it was felt by the team that these abstractions did not align with
|
|
similar abstractions from other systems. Hence the team developed and implemented
|
|
abstractions of 'app' and 'workflow'. Time has come for us to deprecate plans and
|
|
assemblies. This will greatly simplify our codebase.
|
|
|
|
- Migrate off of oslo incubator
|
|
Currently we are lagging behind in adoption of oslo libraries. In the current
|
|
cycle we got help from several members of the Oslo team towards migrating some parts
|
|
of our code to use oslo libraries. I am really grateful to them for this help,
|
|
and plan to engage with their team more on this in the future.
|
|
|
|
- Multi-container apps
|
|
We need to enhance Solum to build and deploy multi-container applications, which may
|
|
follow different kinds of container patterns.
|
|
|
|
Best regards,
|
|
