Greeting,

I would like announce my candidacy to serve as the Magnum project team
leader for the Train cycle, if you will have me.

I've been working on and contributing to Magnum since Queens release as a core
developer. And I have done a lot work for Magnum to help it getting production
ready, e.g. the Calico network driver, nodes anti affinity, k8s health status
check, Keystone auth, coreDNS autoscale, get Magnum certified by CNCF and etc.
That said, I really understand the ups and downs which Magnum went
through and I know the blueprints, direction and pains of this project, for
interests from both private cloud and public cloud sides.

For Train release (including the rest of Stein cycle), things I'd like to do:

1. Rolling upgrade

Rolling upgrade is one of the most important features user want to see for a
managed Kubernetes service. And in Magnum, we're thinking more deeper to
provide a better user experience. For the rolling upgrade, we will support
upgrade the base operating system, Kubernetes version and even add-ons running
on top of Kubernetes.

2. Auto scaling/healing

Another most wanted feature for Kubernetes cluster. With this feature, a user
will be able to get an auto scaled cluster which can fix itself when there is
any node failure.

3. Node groups

Node groups provide users with the ability to specify groups of nodes with
different properties for different purposes. Within the scope of a group users
are able to define labels, used image, flavor, etc depending on the purpose.

4. Fedora CoreOS

The most matured driver for Kubernetes in Magnum is Fedora Atomic, however, the
Fedora community is moving to Fedora CoreOS, so we should start to think about
the migration.

5. Containerize Kubernetes master

This could be one of the most interesting features for Magnum and it's
definitely hard work. Running Kubernetes master nodes in a seed/root Kubernetes
could bring us a lot of benefits.

6. Helm for add-ons

We have enabled Helm in Stein and this gives us a good opportunity to re-think
our add-ons management strategy. Using Helm for our add-ons could make our
vendors' life much easier.


It has been a fantastic experience working with this amazing team and I know
without the dedication and hard work of everyone who has contributed to Magnum
we can't get those good work done. So the PTL of this cool team is most like a
facilitator, coordinator, and mentor. I would be pleased to serve as PTL for
Magnum for the Train cycle and I'd appreciate your vote.

Thanks for your consideration!
