`Designate`_ is a service that manages DNS Zones and Recordsets in an OpenStack
way. We support multiple DNS Servers, and DNS Service Providers. DNS is a vital
service for any network or web based application. DNS is a core part of
directing users and applications to a service - it allows the entire underlying
infrastructure to be replaced, even moved across regions or clouds, while
presenting a consistent endpoint. DNS should be managed along side the servers,
load balancers and other equipment in an OpenStack cloud and the integration
with Neutron allows for DNS entries to be created when something is connected
to a network. For more complicated examples, Heat can be used to manage the DNS
zones and records, allowing for entire zones to be created, updated and deleted
along side the resources that they point at. Once Designate is in every cloud,
you can bring a heat template from cloud to cloud, and have a user ready
deployment with a simple ``openstack stack create`` command.
Designate has had issues finding contributors to replace previous contributors
who have moved on from the project mainly due to major restructuring in the
organisations that sponsored development.
They need contributors to help find and fix bugs, develop new features, and
help maintain the quality of the project. Designate is quite stable, with any
new features requiring long term planning, design and phased implementation.
This makes Designate a good project for everyone, from a person starting out
in the community, who wants to work on an interesting and important section of
infrastructure, to very senior developers who want new, interesting problems
to tackle. Contributors will get to work on a project that will be a central
part of any OpenStack deployment, and work on a project that needs to scale
from a small single node install to a system controlling DNS servers worldwide.
If you are interested, please join the IRC channel (#openstack-dns) or contact
the Designate PTL (Graham Hayes - mugsie on IRC), the TC sponsor
(Sean McGinnis - smcginnis), or email the `openstack dev`_ mailing list with
the tag `[designate]`.
