All,
|
|
|
|
I served as Manila PTL for Rocky and Stein and am willing and able to
|
|
take on that role in Train if you choose me.
|
|
|
|
I continue to be less interested in adding new features to Manila
|
|
itself than in improving its durability, ease of use, and
|
|
consumability.
|
|
|
|
I will continue to get the message out that Manila is loosely coupled
|
|
with other OpenStack components and serves up storage via the network
|
|
rather than through hypervisors so that it is ideally positioned to
|
|
provide shared file storage both within and outside of OpenStack proper.
|
|
|
|
I will work to make sure that storage vendors understand that if they
|
|
maintain drivers for their back ends in Manila then this will at the
|
|
same time enable them to provide storage for OpenStack consumers and
|
|
also for Container Orchestrator clouds.
|
|
|
|
I will continue to champion development of "**production quality**"
|
|
100% open source storage back ends for Manila.
|
|
|
|
We have done a good job fostering new contributors and helping
|
|
outreachy intern applicants get started. I want us to continue to be
|
|
known as a friendly project and a good place to work.
|
|
|
|
In Train we need to complete work already begun to:
|
|
|
|
* build a manila CSI plugin
|
|
|
|
* integrate manila into the OpenStack Client and SDK
|
|
|
|
* integrate manila into OpenStack ansible and extend TripleO coverage
|
|
to more storage back ends.
|
|
|
|
In addition, in the Train cycle I want the Manila project to take up
|
|
the challenge of shared storage as a service at the Edge. We need to:
|
|
|
|
* Articulate use cases for shared storage (vs block or object) at the
|
|
Edge.
|
|
|
|
* Drive common understanding of appropriate service architecture for
|
|
Edge.
|
|
|
|
* Position vendors and open source software defined back ends for
|
|
Edge deployments using Manila.
|
|
|
|
These are the things that will drive me if you choose me as manila PTL.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for listening,
|
|
|
