After +everything is said and done, the most rewarding part of this job is to get to +work with an amazing group of top notch software engineers from around the +World. I will be grateful forever for everything that you all have taught me. +So I humbly ask for another chance to be trained during Train. + +We had a successful Stein cycle, delivering on most of the goals we set for +ourselves in Denver: + +* Delivered most of the implementation of bandwidth based scheduling, that + enables Neutron and Nova to guarantee network bandwidth to instances based + on QoS policies. +* To better serve edge computing use cases, we partnered with the StarlingX + team to implement management of network segments ranges dynamically through a + new API extension. +* Extended Neutron QoS to support L3 router gateway IPs. +* Improved the performance of port creation in bulk to better support + containers use cases. +* Improved the security groups implementation by optimizing the performance of + rules creation and making security groups shareable with the RBAC mechanism. +* We created the os-ken project, OpenStack community fork of the Ryu library, + which will not be supported by its original implementor anymore. os-ken is + now maintained by the Neutron project team. +* We continued our efforts of de-coupling common functionality from the Neutron + repository and moving it to neutron-lib. +* We worked hard on past and present community goals, so at the end of Stein + Neutron will be completely caught up. +* We implemented a successful mentoring program for prospective core reviewers. + This enabled us to add three new members to the Neutron team: Nate Johnston, + Hongbin Lu and Liu Yulong. We also added Bernard Cafarelli, Ryan Tidwell and + Manuel Buil as stable branches, BGP Dynamic Routing and networking-sfc core + reviewers, respectively. + +Moving forward, these are some of the goals that I propose for the team during +the Train cycle: + +* Improve the usability of routed networks by allowing more that one segment + per network per compute host. This will enable the scaling up of deployments + without being constrained by subnet IP address ranges. +* Add the capabillity to tag ports during bulk creation, to better support + containers use cases. +* Actively continue our collaboration with the StarlingX team to identify and + implement better support for edge computing use cases. +* Continue the implementation of smart NICs support. +* During Stein, we formed a performance sub-team with the aim of improving + Neutron's scalability. We will bring this effort to fruition by identifying + and implementing areas of improvement based on the characterization work we + are doing with osprofiler and the EnOS (Experimental eNvironment for + OpenStack) team. +* We will continue our efforts of de-coupling common functionality from the + Neutron repository and moving it to neutron-lib. +* I see myself, with the support of my current employer, actively involved in + the project and the community for many cycles in the future. I think, though, + that we are getting to a point where it is healthy to pass the baton to a new + leader. To that end, I will actively encourage team members to step up to the + plate in the next cycle. I will support and help propective candidates every + step of the way. + +Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read this + +Miguel Lavalle (mlavalle)
