Hi all,
|
|
|
|
This is the first time Zun participants on official PTL election, which is
|
|
exciting. I nominated myself to be a candidate of Zun PTL. As the founder of
|
|
this project, it is my honor to work with all of you to build an innovative
|
|
container service for OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
Since April 2016, in which the project was founded, the Zun team were making
|
|
an impressive progress during these 8 months. With the hard work of the whole
|
|
team, we delivered most of the fundamental capabilities. The completed
|
|
essential features includes:
|
|
* A full-featured container API.
|
|
* Two drivers that serve as reference implementations.
|
|
* Neutron integration in one of the drivers.
|
|
* Two image drivers: Docker Registry (i.e. Docker Hub) and Glance.
|
|
* Multi-tenancy: Containers are isolated by OpenStack projects.
|
|
* HA deployment: Support multiple compute hosts.
|
|
* Horizon integration.
|
|
* OpenStack Client integration.
|
|
|
|
Zun is an important project for OpenStack because it enables unique use cases
|
|
that requires container to be an OpenStack-managed resource (i.e. orchstrating
|
|
containerized and virtualized resources). Furthermore, it allows users to use
|
|
one platform, that is OpenStack, to manage containers, VMs, and baremetal.
|
|
To achieve the goal, there are a lot of exicting tasks to do.
|
|
|
|
For Pike, I would suggest the Zun team to focus on the followings:
|
|
* Container network: Integrate with Kuryr-libnetwork for providing networking
|
|
for Docker containers.
|
|
* Container storage: Leverage Cinder for providing container data volume.
|
|
* Nova integration: Enhance the existing Nova driver.
|
|
* Resource management: Enhance the management of compute host resources, and
|
|
introduce different placement policy (i.e. pin container to dedicated
|
|
CPU cores).
|
|
|
|
Beyond Pike, I would suggest to target for the following use cases:
|
|
* Strong isolation between neighboring containers. This could be solved by
|
|
introducing Hypervisor-based container runtime.
|
|
* Containerize stateful application (i.e. DBMS).
|
|
* NFV/HPC workload.
|
|
|
|
Also, I would like to highlight that nova-docker is going to retire, and
|
|
the users who were using nova-docker might want to find a replacement.
|
|
If they are willing to migrate from nova-docker to Zun, I would encourage the
|
|
Zun team to help out.
|
|
|
|
Best regards,
|
