Proposed Change
===============
A sample OpenStack instance should be provided to translators, which runs
the current working branch and regularly fetches updated translations.
A sample OpenStack instance should be provided to translators, which
runs the current working branch and regularly fetches updated translations.
The instance should run Horizon and every module supported by the stock
dashboard.
This could be achieved by running a DevStack instance on a host, which would
fetch translation from the current translation system by a cron schedule.
The entire DevStack environment should be refreshed approximately once a week
because the environment itself is string freezed during translation peak
period. The translation update, that is translation import job, is run once
a day. The instance should be able to spawn pseudo VMs that are using fake
virt driver, create networks and all other capabilities provided by Horizon,
but should be firewalled off from the rest of the world with a periodic
cleanup of all resources.
This could be achieved with openstack-ansible AIO.
AIO means "all in one". OpenStack components are installed in separate container
(i.e. Horizon) on a single VM. Advantages for containers are: easy to manage
(i.e. snapshot backup and recovery in case of failed updates of the horizon container).
openstack-ansible itself is reboot-save. It's not necessary to re-install
from scratch like DevStack. In the Horizon container a script is installed
to fetch the translation file periodically from the translation server via cron,
compile it and serves the new content to the dashboard. The dashboard contents
the core functionality plus core plugins. The instance should be able to spawn
pseudo VMs that are using fakevirt driver, create networks and all other
capabilities provided by Horizon, but should be firewalled off from the rest
of the world with a periodic cleanup of all resources.
There is no need for SSO integration as the only required accounts are a shared
admin and a user account, with the credentials known to the translation team.
The sync cycle of the translation files is configurable. Update mechanism for
different branches or releases of the dashboard are also configurable and done
by ansible. The installed AIO should upgraded 4 times each cycle: soft/hard
string freeze, release, stable.
Alternatives
------------
As an alternative a prebuilt VM image could be created for the translators
to run on their own workstations with a simple set of scripts to update
the translations. However this might take the a similar amount of time
and also would require the translators to have sufficient hardware to run
such VM.
to run on their own workstations or cloud with a manual run of ansible
playbooks for update Horizon or sync the translation files.
