Dear Kollagues,
|
|
|
|
You all hopefully know me as inc0 on IRC. I would like to submit my candidacy
|
|
for the PTL position in the following cycle.
|
|
|
|
I think we, as a team, did a tremendous job in last cycles, ensuring that Kolla
|
|
is and will be the great project to work on and to use. Opensource project is only
|
|
as good as its community, and Kolla has proven many times over that it excels in
|
|
this front. PTL is just a the first among equals, facilitator for group,
|
|
but it's the group that is important. I would be happy to help our community
|
|
as PTL to grow while keeping its openness, friendliness, equality and diversity.
|
|
|
|
I have been a developer in operations teams for 5 years now. In my opinion Kolla is
|
|
an operators' tool which means operators' priorities should be also Kolla's top
|
|
priorities. That means stability, careful maintenance of stable branches,
|
|
good documentation, troubleshooting and maintenance procedures.
|
|
|
|
You might know me by my work, which includes:
|
|
|
|
* Upgrade playbooks
|
|
* OSIC cluster testing kickoff
|
|
* Customization mechanism for Dockerfiles
|
|
* Parts of HA infrastructure
|
|
* Early logging infrastructure
|
|
|
|
My hope for our project, first and foremost, is to provide operators way to
|
|
deploy and run OpenStack in a way that will not cost them their nerves. It's my
|
|
aspiration for our community that we make sure that OpenStack can be easily and
|
|
quickly deployed, upgraded, maintained and scalable. I joined Kolla because I
|
|
thought this project holds potential to help achieve these goals (which are
|
|
still the biggest issues in OpenStack, according to user survey), and I believe I
|
|
was right to do so.
|
|
|
|
As PTL my technical goals for Ocata cycle would be:
|
|
|
|
* Make Kolla easy to extend - there are lots of snowflakes
|
|
* Ensure that all the tools are present for large scale deployments - 300+ node
|
|
* Provide easier config management and overrides for non-ini configs
|
|
* Work on multi-node CI jobs - to ensure HA
|
|
* Work on upgrade CI jobs
|
|
* Split up kolla-ansible, but keep it as reference implementation for ocata cycle
|
|
* Ensure high security of Kolla-deployed OpenStack
|
|
* Adhere to feedback from our early adopters and evaluators
|
|
* Initial release of Kolla-kubernetes
|
|
|
|
My goals for our community will include:
|
|
|
|
* Keep Kolla community diverse. We are one of most diverse project, and we want
|
|
to keep it. This is sign of healthy community.
|
|
* Extend Kolla's reach to operators and help operators to have their voice and
|
|
commits included in Kolla project
|
|
* Keep Kolla growing and ensure that as it grows, it won't close up for
|
|
newcomers, that resonates nicely with diversity
|
|
* Make a "Woot for Kolla" tradition in our weekly meetings:)
|
|
|
|
I am very grateful for a vote of confidence from You and I promise to do my
|
|
very best to ensure that Kolla remains a great project, friendly community and
|
|
dependable toolset for production OpenStacks.
|
|

Regards,
|
