Hello Team,
|
|
|
|
It's a big honor for me be a part of the our Cinder community and I do my best
|
|
to make Cinder better. That's why I'm I'm announcing my candidacy for
|
|
Cinder PTL for the Mitaka release. That doesn't mean that I'm working at half
|
|
strength now. It means that I would like to give as much benefits to Cinder and
|
|
OpenStack as I can.
|
|
|
|
We as cinder community did great job to have Rolling Upgrades landed in Mitaka.
|
|
It's really cool. We introduced new Replication v2.1 version in the middle of
|
|
cycle but we've already got few drivers which implemented it. API microversions
|
|
are also very useful thing. It allows us to change our API faster and do not
|
|
break any existing API user. We started work on Active/Active HA for
|
|
cinder-volume process. I really hope that we'll have this feature implemented
|
|
in the next release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As PTL I would like to bring more attention to the following areas during
|
|
Newton release cycle. These things are important not only for Cinder community
|
|
but for any Cinder users and other OpenStack projects too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Cinder quality and stability. I don't say that Cinder is not stable enough. I
|
|
mean that it would be great if we'll improve our test coverage and testing
|
|
strategy including 3-rd party CI. See my mail in openstack-dev mailing list
|
|
for details [1].
|
|
|
|
* We've got a lot of technical debt and Newton could be a good time to fix it:
|
|
finish started features like A/A HA, get more Replication v2.1
|
|
implementations from vendors, fix architectural issues which do not allow us
|
|
to implement new features faster, fix Cinder-Nova related issues.
|
|
|
|
* Make Cinder viable as a stand-alone volume manager. It means, Cinder will
|
|
work without Nova and you'll be available to attach volumes to any host. We
|
|
finished first part of this task in Mitaka, now we have to continue work on
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
* Ironic integration: We talk with Ironic team about it for several last
|
|
summits. I started work on attach feature in scope of 'Cinder Without Nova'
|
|
initiative. Full integration with Ironic is very important for every Cinder
|
|
and Ironic user. Let's do it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Last but not least, I do understand that being PTL is full-time job which will
|
|
require a lot of communications in a different time-zones. I'd like to say,
|
|
I'm ready for it.
