Dear all,
|
||
|
||
I’d like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the QA Program for the Rocky
|
||
cycle.
|
||
|
||
I served as PTL for QA during the Pike and Queens cycles, and I would be
|
||
honoured to continue to do so in the next six months.
|
||
|
||
After a few years working with the OpenStack community, I continue to find
|
||
it an exceptional experience and a great opportunity for meeting and working
|
||
with great people, learning and innovating.
|
||
|
||
In the past cycle, we focused on providing good and stable interfaces in
|
||
QA projects for everyone to use. Meanwhile, we supported the OpenStack
|
||
community in the implementation of the Tempest plugin community goal.
|
||
|
||
This should mean fewer headaches for everyone with Tempest plugins,
|
||
and a bit more time for the QA team to focus on key areas like the gate
|
||
stability and bug triage.
|
||
|
||
Outside of those key areas, my priority always remains serving the community,
|
||
by providing tools, support and advice. There are a few specific topics I
|
||
care particularly about for the Rocky cycle:
|
||
|
||
- Migration to Zuul v3: my key objective is for project teams to be able
|
||
to migrate as effortless as possible, enjoy the benefits of Zuul v3 and
|
||
focus on the things they want to work on.
|
||
To achieve this the QA team will provide a good set of base jobs and
|
||
ansible roles for everyone to re-use.
|
||
During Queens we implemented base devstack and devstack-tempest jobs
|
||
already; next up are multinode support and grenade, which cover most
|
||
of the things that we do in Tempest legacy jobs today.
|
||
|
||
- Interoperability testing: with the new add-on programs, I expect that
|
||
the teams involved will need prompt support and test reviews from the
|
||
QA team.
|
||
|
||
- QA beyond the gate: there is a lot of quality engineering happening on
|
||
OpenStack beyond the testing we do in the gate and I strive to ensure
|
||
that those efforts do not happen in isolation. There is opportunity
|
||
for sharing of ideas, tools, experiences - even beyond the OpenStack
|
||
community, through initiatives like OpenLab and OPNVF. A QA SIG may be
|
||
a good forum to make this happen.
|
||
|
||
- Supporting teams working on the cold upgrade goal along with the goal
|
||
champion.
|
||
|
||
Thank you!
|
||
|
