I nominated myself to be a candidate of Zun PTL. As the founder of +this project, it is my honor to work with all of you to build an innovative +container service for OpenStack. + +Since April 2016, in which the project was founded, the Zun team were making +an impressive progress during these 8 months. With the hard work of the whole +team, we delivered most of the fundamental capabilities. The completed +essential features includes: +* A full-featured container API. +* Two drivers that serve as reference implementations. +* Neutron integration in one of the drivers. +* Two image drivers: Docker Registry (i.e. Docker Hub) and Glance. +* Multi-tenancy: Containers are isolated by OpenStack projects. +* HA deployment: Support multiple compute hosts. +* Horizon integration. +* OpenStack Client integration. + +Zun is an important project for OpenStack because it enables unique use cases +that requires container to be an OpenStack-managed resource (i.e. orchstrating +containerized and virtualized resources). Furthermore, it allows users to use +one platform, that is OpenStack, to manage containers, VMs, and baremetal. +To achieve the goal, there are a lot of exicting tasks to do. + +For Pike, I would suggest the Zun team to focus on the followings: +* Container network: Integrate with Kuryr-libnetwork for providing networking + for Docker containers. +* Container storage: Leverage Cinder for providing container data volume. +* Nova integration: Enhance the existing Nova driver. +* Resource management: Enhance the management of compute host resources, and + introduce different placement policy (i.e. pin container to dedicated + CPU cores). + +Beyond Pike, I would suggest to target for the following use cases: +* Strong isolation between neighboring containers. This could be solved by + introducing Hypervisor-based container runtime. +* Containerize stateful application (i.e. DBMS). +* NFV/HPC workload. + +Also, I would like to highlight that nova-docker is going to retire, and +the users who were using nova-docker might want to find a replacement. +If they are willing to migrate from nova-docker to Zun, I would encourage the +Zun team to help out. + +Best regards, +Hongbin \ No newline at end of file
