Hello Everyone,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here is my candidacy letter to continue as a PTL for OpenStack-Helm for 2024.2 release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let me first remind you what we've managed to achieve during 2024.1:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- OVN is now considered as working well and recommended as the default netowking backend.
|
||||||
|
We now have 2023.2 compute-kit test job with OVN and it worth to have such test job for future releases.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- We switched all our test jobs to the upstream Ingress-Nginx Helm chart and now it is a recommended
|
||||||
|
way to deploy the ingress controller. Users can utilize other ingress controller implementations if they need.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The mariadb-cluster chart was introduced. It utilizes the Mariadb-Operator for managing Mariadb
|
||||||
|
clusters. At the same time the HA part of the Openstack-Helm mariadb chart was also improved.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- For about a half of test jobs we now utilize the Rook operator for managing Ceph clusters. The ceph-adapter-rook
|
||||||
|
chart was introduced which allows users to deploy Ceph either by means of using Openstack-Helm ceph-* charts
|
||||||
|
or Rook operator.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The deployment documentation was updated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The DPDK test jobs was revived.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Support of Ceph RBD as a backend for ephemeral VM disks was added.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The Ansible role for deploying test jobs enviroment was improved. Now we can run all the test jobs on either
|
||||||
|
single-node or multi-node environments. This is important to be able to utilize multiple small nodes for CI instead
|
||||||
|
of one huge node.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are also some activities that are currently in progress:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The OpenStack deployment with Metallb.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Using uWSGI for API services.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I would like to say thank you so much to all our contributors and I am very pleased to be a part of the team.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We still have a lot to do:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Let's simplify the Openstack-Helm code base even further and use third party Helm charts wherever possible
|
||||||
|
and keep focusing more on Openstack charts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Many of our users struggle to deploy the production ready Openstack clusters. This means we need to continue
|
||||||
|
imporving the user documentation. We probably can give some examples of how users can manage their passwords,
|
||||||
|
how they can monitor their clusters and integrate their clusters with their CI/CD tools.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I would like to continue serving as a PTL of the Openstack-Helm and do my best to improve the project.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Thank you,
|
