I would like to nominate myself for the TripleO PTL role for the Rocky cycle.
As PTL of TripleO for the Queens cycle, the focus was on improving containerized
services, improving the deployment process and CI, and improving
visibility of the status of the project. I personally believe over the last
cycle we've made great strides on all these fronts. For Rocky, I would like
to continue to focus on:
* Reducing duplication and tech debt
When we switched over to containerization, we've had to implement some items
in multiple places to support backwards compatibility. I believe it's time
to spend some efforts to reduce duplication of code and processes and focus
on simplifying actions for the end user. An example of this will be efforts
to align the undercloud and overcloud deployment processes.
* Simplifying the deployment process
Additionally with the containerization switch, we've added new requirements
for actions that must be performed by the end user to deploy OpenStack.
I believe we should spend time looking at what actions we can remove or reduce
by automating them as part of the deployment process. An example of this
will be efforts to enable autodiscovery for the nodes on the undercloud
as well as switching to the config-download by default.
* Continued efforts around CI
We've made great strides in stablizing the CI as well as implementing zuul v3.
We need to continue to move our CI into fully native zuul v3 actions and
focus on developers ability to reproduce CI outside of the upstream.
Thanks,
Alex Schultz
