Hello Everyone!
|
|
|
|
I would like to declare my candidacy for the Technical Committee.
|
|
|
|
I joined the CERN OpenStack team in 2014, initially to help with
|
|
the operations of the storage components (Cinder, later Manila),
|
|
and since 2016 I am looking after the overall operations of our
|
|
cloud infrastructure service here at CERN.
|
|
|
|
As part of this operational role, I have contributed upstream to
|
|
several projects [1], recently mostly to Ironic which I help as a
|
|
core member since about three years. I chair the Bare Metal SIG [2]
|
|
since its inception, and together with other community members I am
|
|
trying to establish it as a forum to promote the use of OpenStack
|
|
for bare metal use cases [3] and to help new users to get started.
|
|
Presentations at several summits [4] and regular blog posts [5] are
|
|
examples of how I share the operational challenges and the solutions
|
|
we apply in our cloud, in the hope these are helpful to other deployers
|
|
in the same way we profit from them sharing their experiences.
|
|
|
|
The combination of running an in-production OpenStack deployment
|
|
downstream while interacting with core developers and the overall
|
|
community upstream is something that I've enjoyed _a lot_ since
|
|
several years now. I see how real-life input can be essential for
|
|
upstream projects to move forward, set priorities, or maintain
|
|
momentum. Equally, interaction with a responsive community where
|
|
feedback is turned into tangible improvements is a valuable asset
|
|
for any deployment.
|
|
|
|
This positive experience of being an operator/developer hybrid in
|
|
the OpenStack community is something I would like to bring to the
|
|
TC, assisting with the ongoing (but continuous) effort to engage
|
|
operators and help when global technical issues need to be sorted.
|
|
|
|
I am sure being a member of the TC and helping with its work comes
|
|
with a learning curve, but I'd be happy to contribute where I can.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for reading and your consideration!
|
