Hello!
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce my candidacy for the Winstackers PTL election for the
|
|
upcoming cycle.
|
|
|
|
I have been involved in OpenStack for several years, mostly working on
|
|
different projects which also involves Windows, Hyper-V, and related
|
|
technologies.
|
|
|
|
As you might know, over the past several years, we were able to work on
|
|
different projects, developing drivers, agents, plugins necessary to integrate
|
|
Windows and Hyper-V into the OpenStack environment. Most of them are using
|
|
the os-win library. Some of these are:
|
|
|
|
- Cinder Windows iSCSI and SMB drivers
|
|
- Neutron OVS Agent on Windows
|
|
- Ceilometer Polling Agent on Windows
|
|
- Manila Windows SMB Driver
|
|
- Designate Microsoft DNS Server backend support
|
|
- Kolla ansible role for Hyper-V
|
|
- involvements in other tangential projects like os-vif and os-brick
|
|
|
|
Most of the efforts go towards ensuring and maintaining the functionality of
|
|
those drivers. One goal for the near future will be to transition our CIs to
|
|
using python3, since python2 is approaching its end of life.
|
|
|
|
Recently, our focus was on the following items:
|
|
|
|
- Glance Windows support, which we need for a usecase, allowing images to be
|
|
stored on S2D backed HA shares.
|
|
- ovsdb monitor support.
|
|
- adding log rotation options in our installers.
|
|
- general bug fixing and improvements, including python 3.6 related issues on
|
|
Windows.
|
|
- CI maintenance.
|
|
|
|
As for the future, we plan on finishing any previously unfinished items, plus
|
|
a few othe items:
|
|
|
|
- Upstreaming some features which are currently only on compute-hyperv,
|
|
including: Shielded VMs, Nova assisted volume snapshots.
|
|
- documentation updates. We have some all-purpose general documentation
|
|
regarding how to set up and configure the nodes, but it doesn't fit the
|
|
OpenStack style documentation, so it has to be adapted.
|
|
|
|
New items will be added to the list when the need arises. New goals and
|
|
suggestions are always welcome.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration,
|
|
|
|
