Hi,
|
|
|
|
I'm Renat Akhmerov. I'd like to announce my PTL candidacy for Mistral in
|
|
U cycle.
|
|
|
|
In Train, we again made a big step towards having better performance, which
|
|
turned to be very important for real production use cases. Mistral "join"
|
|
mechanism is now much more CPU and RAM efficient (60-70% faster for same
|
|
workflows). Mistral now also provides a mechanism to plug in an alternative
|
|
scheduler implementation. The new implementation of scheduler, which designed
|
|
to be more scalable, is now available and being tested.
|
|
|
|
For U cycle I'd like to focus on making Mistral more usable:
|
|
|
|
* Consistent and well-structured documentation
|
|
* Additional tools that simplify creating custom actions and functions
|
|
for Mistral
|
|
* Easier debugging of workflow errors
|
|
* Easier and smoother installation process
|
|
|
|
Some of the mentioned activities are already going on. For example,
|
|
we added the workflow execution report that, when requested, shows the
|
|
entire execution tree (including sub workflows). That allows to see
|
|
error paths (and hence root causes) w/o having to do many copy-paste
|
|
actions.
|
|
|
|
It's not a secret that in the last few cycles there was a struggle with
|
|
attracting more active contributors. Now, we finally have several very
|
|
talanted engineers fully allocated to work on Mistral. So it makes me
|
|
believe that we'll be able to solve a number of big tasks (including
|
|
cool user facing goodies) that we had to put on a shelve just for the
|
|
lack of resources.
|
|
|
|
As usually, anybody is welcome to join our team! It's a fun project
|
|
to work on.
|
|
|
|
The best way to get in touch with us is IRC channel #openstack-mistral
|
|
or the openstack-discuss mailing list (with [mistral] tag in email subject).
