I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL for the Kolla team for the Newton
|
|
release cycle.
|
|
|
|
I have been heavily involved with Kolla since the Liberty cycle. A few of my
|
|
major technical contributions include:
|
|
|
|
* Bringing Ansible to Kolla
|
|
* Containerized host dependencies (kolla-toolbox)
|
|
* Named volumes for data in Docker
|
|
* The kolla_docker.py Ansible module
|
|
* The initial build.py (kolla-build) script
|
|
* Making Neutron "thin" containers work
|
|
|
|
Some of the things I would like to see us focus on for the Newton cycle:
|
|
|
|
* Separation of the Ansible code from the kolla repo into kolla-ansible
|
|
* kolla-mesos and kolla-ansible testing, along with gating procedures leading
|
|
the way for other deployment utilities to use Kolla containers (such as
|
|
saltstack and kubernetes)
|
|
* Stabilization of our stable branches. As a deployment project, I would like
|
|
to see us increase our focus on the usability of our project. This means a
|
|
much stronger focus on keeping our stable branches stable
|
|
* Better use of the bug tracker for master and stable branches
|
|
* Stronger documentation across the board
|
|
* Better gates for testing deployment and upgrades from stable branches
|
|
|
|
My desire for this cycle is to focus on making Kolla usable to the people that
|
|
matter most to our project, the Operators. Several of us were operators
|
|
ourselves at one time and know the struggle of being forced to use unstable and
|
|
unintuitive software. The feedback we have received real-world usage has been
|
|
the most useful, I don't expect that trend to stop.
|
|
|
|
I am also very active within the Kolla community. I provided the highest number
|
|
of reviews and commits in both the Liberty and Mitaka cycles [0]. This has
|
|
given me a deep understanding of the codebase and inner workings of Kolla. For
|
|
these reasons, I have a strong vision of the direction we can take Kolla over
|
|
the next cycle.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for your contributions and consideration. I look forward to continuing
|
|
to work closely with our community!
