Greetings,
In case if you don't know me, I've been working on and contributing to Magnum
since Queens release as a core developer. And I have done a lot of work for Magnum
to help it getting production-ready. Meanwhile, I'm the Head of R&D at Catalyst
Cloud is a cloud provider based in New Zealand. That said, I really
understand this lovely project from both upstream and downstream, and the
real-world requirements from both public cloud and private cloud users, which make
me a good candidate for the PTL position.
In X cycle we have done quite a lot of fantastic works, but there are still some
areas we can/should improve. For Y release, things I'd like to do:
1. Keep improving the rolling upgrade feature
Kubernetes community is still running fast and we need to make sure Magnum's
user can continually upgrade their existing k8s cluster to a newer version
without downtime.
2. Containerize Kubernetes master so as to resize it
This could be one of the most interesting features for Magnum and it's
definitely hard work. Running Kubernetes master nodes in a seed/root Kubernetes
could bring us a lot of benefits.
3. Get rid of the discovery service
Now Magnum still depends on the external discovery service to bootstrap multi
masters which introduces some issues when the cloud is in a private environment
cannot reach external Internet.
It has been a fantastic experience working with this amazing team and I know
without the dedication and hard work of everyone who has contributed to Magnum
we can't get those good work done. So the PTL of this cool team is most like a
facilitator, coordinator, and mentor. I would be pleased to serve as PTL for
Magnum for the Y cycle and I'd appreciate your vote.
Thanks for your consideration!
