Hi Everyone,
|
||
|
||
I'm excited to announce my candidacy for PTL for Kolla team during the Ocata
|
||
cycle.
|
||
|
||
Kolla is a fantastic project. It brings fresh new blood to OpenStack Deployment
|
||
Management. Simplifying the lives of Operators when managing OpenStack is
|
||
essential to OpenStack’s success and I personally believe Kolla as of Liberty
|
||
1.1.0 delivers on that promise. I also deployed several Kolla production
|
||
environment for customers without any problem. I've been a core contributor to
|
||
Kolla since Mitaka. I am full time on Kolla project and have been heavily
|
||
involved with all of my waking hours[0][1].
|
||
|
||
Over the Newton development cycle, we have implemented numerous new features
|
||
and improved stability and usability. The top features are:
|
||
|
||
* Introduced the Bifrost and kolla-host to manage the bare metal provision and
|
||
initialize the node before deploying OpenStack.
|
||
* The introduction of far more services including Aodh, Bifrost, Ceilometer,
|
||
Cloudkitty, Multipath, Rally, Sahara, Tempest, Watcher.
|
||
* Implemented Dockerfile customization.
|
||
* Launched the kolla-kubernetes project.
|
||
* More robust CI jobs
|
||
|
||
As a team, the Kolla Community tested 123 nodes for Kolla using osic[2]. The
|
||
results validate Kolla works and scales to a majority of use cases today. The
|
||
major code paths that enable this scalability have been in place since Liberty
|
||
which gives a good indicator of Liberty and Mitaka scalability. As a Kolla
|
||
core reviewer and PTL self-nominee, I find this result to be highly satisfying.
|
||
One of Kolla’s many goals has been executed: Deploying OpenStack at 100+ node
|
||
count fast and easily.
|
||
|
||
The kolla community is diversely affiliated, a fantastic crew of contributors,
|
||
and excellent leadership within the core reviewer team.
|
||
|
||
For Ocata, I'd like the project focused on these objectives:
|
||
|
||
* Focus on the needs of the Kolla team.
|
||
* Optimize the speed of reconfiguration and upgrade.
|
||
* Implement and integrate with more driver plugins for neutron and cinder.
|
||
* Deliver 1.0.0 of kolla-kubernetes.
|
||
* Implement different CI jobs to test diverse scenarios.I’d like to start out
|
||
with some really hard CI problems such as testing real upgrades and
|
||
validating ceph in the CI jobs per commit.
|
||
* Support the implementation of a monitoring stack.
|
||
|
||
Finally, I know it is important that PTL time is spent on the non-technical
|
||
problem-solving such as mentoring potential core reviewers, scheduling the
|
||
project progress, interacting with other OpenStack projects and many other
|
||
activities a PTL undertakes. I’d like to work this cycle on scaling those
|
||
activities across the core reviewer team. I will use my personal strengths and
|
||
rely on the core reviewer team’s personal strengths to make Kolla Ocata the
|
||
best release yet.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for the considering me to serve as your Kolla PTL.
|
||
|
||
Regards,
|
||
Jeffrey Zhang
