Hi,
|
||
|
||
I'm Renat Akhmerov. I'm again running for PTL of Mistral in Pike.
|
||
Mistral is a workflow service developed within the OpenStack community from
|
||
the ground up.
|
||
|
||
In the last two development cycles (newton and ocata) we made a huge progress
|
||
on improving project maturity. Workflow engine works two orders of magnitude
|
||
faster than a year ago and it finally started working in multi-node mode.
|
||
We also significantly improvemed Mistral docs and Mistral Dashboard which
|
||
is finally a usable tool, made a number of backward compatible improvements in
|
||
Mistral workflow language, implemented an alternative RPC that eliminates
|
||
problems of the previous one, and other hundreds of bugs and smaller changes.
|
||
But our biggest achievement is that Mistral is now being used by even more
|
||
users and found its place in such fields as NFV, deployment, automation etc.
|
||
|
||
For the next cycle I'd like to propose the following roadmap which is built
|
||
on our users' needs:
|
||
|
||
* Performance & benchmarking
|
||
* Less overhead per task
|
||
* Big workflow graphs
|
||
* Optimize ‘join’ tasks
|
||
* HA
|
||
* Primarily we need to add test harness to make sure that HA is achieved
|
||
* Failover. Take care of running workflows on:
|
||
* Mistral component restart
|
||
* Infrastructure failures (DB, MQ, network etc.)
|
||
* Usability
|
||
* New CLI/API (more consistent and human friendly interface)
|
||
* Debugging workflows
|
||
* Workflow failure analysis (error messages, navigate through nested
|
||
workflows etc.)
|
||
* Refactor Actions subsystem
|
||
* Formalised Python API to develop actions
|
||
* Actions testability
|
||
* Actions versioning (i.e. actions working with different versions of
|
||
OpenStack services)
|
||
|
||
I'm hoping to gain your support regarding this roadmap.
|
||
|
||
We're always happy to get new contributors on the project and always ready
|
||
to help people interested in Mistral development get up to speed. The best
|
||
way to get in touch with us is IRC channel #openstack-mistral.
