Hello everyone,
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the
|
|
OpenStack-Ansible project for the Rocky cycle.
|
|
|
|
I will focus on a single theme this cycle, simplification.
|
|
|
|
After all the features introduced in Queens cycle, it's time
|
|
to simplify our work:
|
|
|
|
* Reduce the amount of variables in each role, and/or rename them to
|
|
a more guessable name.
|
|
* Make possible to use a source of truth to reduce the amount of
|
|
glue variables we need. A candidate for source of truth could
|
|
be etcd, due to its presence in the OpenStack reference architecture.
|
|
* Simplifying further our "repo build".
|
|
* Simplifying our tasks, by using convention over configuration
|
|
(Reducing the group configurability for example).
|
|
* Reducing the need of our dynamic inventory: everyone
|
|
should be able to use openstack-ansible with a simple static inventory.
|
|
* Clarify each role maturity/contributions status. This would
|
|
make easier for deployers to understand the status of each role, and
|
|
take the appropriate decisions to whether or not deploy project x
|
|
or y. If we make it simple to contribute to new
|
|
roles and playbooks, it would also open us to more contributions
|
|
and contributors.
|
|
|
|
On top of those simplification topics, I'd like to add the following
|
|
features in the next cycle, depending on their release timing:
|
|
* Upgrade to Ansible 2.5
|
|
* Support Ubuntu 18.04
|
|
|
|
I look forward to keep working with you all, and it would be my
|
|
honor to serve as PTL for the next cycle.
|
|
|
|
Best regards,
|
|
|
|
Jean-Philippe Evrard (evrardjp)
