Sridhar Ramaswamy and our team have done great work during last several cycles.
|
|||
|
Many thanks to the team and Sridhar Ramaswamy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
With this email, I'm announcing my PTL candidacy of the Tacker team for the
|
|||
|
Pike release cycle.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
First let me briefly introduce myself. I joined the OpenStack community
|
|||
|
development in 2012, then became the core member of Neutron team and served
|
|||
|
the project for a few cycles. Currently, I'm contributing to Tacker project
|
|||
|
as a core member.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Following are my contribution activities:
|
|||
|
* Review: http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&metric=marks&user_id=gongysh
|
|||
|
* Commit: http://stackalytics.com/?release=all&metric=commits&user_id=gongysh
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As a major leader of 99cloud (active Gold Member of OpenStack Foundation)
|
|||
|
I have led 99cloud teams actively participating the upstream activities.
|
|||
|
In addition, I introduced Tacker projects to many Chinese companies and
|
|||
|
motivated some contributors to join Tacker and related projects.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Here are some ideas I propose the team to focus on in new cycles:
|
|||
|
* Documentation - Tacker teams have done fairly well in this area. We should
|
|||
|
continue this effort. Nice documentation for new users, especially developers,
|
|||
|
will definitely help the project develop.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Robust architecture – Tacker needs some refactoring in order to be used for
|
|||
|
a more robust environment. For example, monitoring feature, VIM feature etc.
|
|||
|
We can split some features into components and make them distributed. New API
|
|||
|
framework is also one part of this architecture.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Testing - Tacker originally derived from Neutron, the original testing
|
|||
|
framework needs reorganization to fit the Tacker codes. After that, we need to
|
|||
|
drive stronger principles to demand better unit and functional test coverage.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* New features - In order for Tacker to become a leading community-built
|
|||
|
TOSCA-based Orchestrator service (Inherited from Sridhar, thanks!) in OpenStack,
|
|||
|
Tacker need introduce more features, such as TOSCA UI tools, workflows etc.
|
|||
|
Of course, the VNF(D), NS(D), VNFFG(D) in MANO via Tacker TOSCA Orchestrator
|
|||
|
service will get matured in new cycles.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Getting more stackers to join - To finish the tons of tasks, we need tons of
|
|||
|
contributors. To involve and motivate stackers into Tacker team will be one of
|
|||
|
my major tasks.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
SDN and NFV is getting hotter and the deployments are accelerating. I would
|
|||
|
like to make sure Tacker is getting ready to catch the rising big wave.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Many Thanks to Sridhar and all the dear developers again.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Thank you for your kind consideration of my candidacy.
