Hey everyone,
|
|
|
|
I'm writing to submit my self-nomination as keystone's PTL for the Stein
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
We've made significant progress tackling some of the major goals we set for
|
|
keystone in Pike. Now that we're getting close to wrapping up some of those
|
|
initiatives, I'd like to continue advocating for enhanced RBAC and unified
|
|
limits. I think we can do this specifically by using them in keystone, where
|
|
applicable, and finalize them in Stein.
|
|
|
|
While a lot of the work we tackled in Rocky was transparent to users, it paved
|
|
the way for us to make strides in other areas. We focused on refactoring large
|
|
chunks of code in order to reduce technical debt and traded some hand-built
|
|
solutions in favor of well-known frameworks. In my opinion, these are major
|
|
accomplishments that drastically simplified keystone. Because of this, it'll be
|
|
easier to implement new features we originally slated for this release. We
|
|
also took time to smooth out usability issues with unified limits and
|
|
implemented support across clients and libraries. This is going to help
|
|
services consume keystone's unified limits implementation early next release.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, I'd like to take some time in Stein to focus on the next set of
|
|
challenges and where we'd like to take keystone in the future. One area that we
|
|
haven't really had the bandwidth to focus on is federation. From Juno to Ocata
|
|
there was a consistent development focus on supporting federated deployments,
|
|
resulting in a steady stream of features or improvements. Conversely, I think
|
|
having a break from constant development will help us approach it with a fresh
|
|
perspective. In my opinion, federation improvements are a timely thing to work
|
|
on given the use-cases that have been cropping up in recent summits and PTGs.
|
|
Ideally, I think it would great to come up with an actionable plan for making
|
|
federation easier to use and a first-class tested citizen of keystone.
|
|
|
|
Finally, I'll continue to place utmost importance on assisting other services
|
|
in how they consume and leverage the work we do.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for taking a moment to read what I have to say and I look forward to
|
|
catching up in Denver.
|
