I had the privilege of being the project's PTL for most of the +Queens release series and want to have another opportunity helping the team and +the community to deliver more and better networking functionality. + +I have worked for the technology industry 37+ years. After many years in +management, I decided to return to the "Light Side of the Force", the technical +path, and during the San Diego Summit in 2012 told the Neutron (Quantum at the +time) PTL that one day I wanted to be a member of the core team. He and the +team welcomed me and that started the best period of my career, not only for +the never ending learning experiences, but more importantly, for the many +talented women and men that I have met along the way. Over these past few years +I worked for Rackspace, helping them to deploy and operate Neutron in their +public cloud, IBM in their Linux Technology Center, and currently for Huawei, +as their Neutron upstream development lead. + +During the Queens release the team made significant progress in the following +fronts: + +* Continued with the adoption of Oslo Versioned Objects in the DB layer +* Implemented QoS rate limits for floating IPs +* Delivered the FWaaS V2.0 API +* Concluded the implementation of the logging API for security groups, which + implements a way to capture and store events related to security groups. +* Continued moving externally referenced items to neutron-lib and adopting them + in Neutron and the Stadium projects +* Welcomed VPNaaS back into the Stadium after the team put it back in shape +* Improved team processes such as having a pre-defined weekly schedule for team + members to act as bug triagers, gave W+ to additional core members in + neutron-lib and re-scheduled the Neutron drivers meeting on alternate days + and hours to enable attendance of more people across different time zones + +Some of the goals that I propose for the team to pursue during the Rocky cycle +are: + +* Finish the implementation of multiple port binding to solve the migration + between VIF types in a generic way so operators can switch easily between + backends. This is a joint effort with the Nova team +* Implement QoS minimum bandwidth allocation in the Placement API to support + scheduling of instances based on the network bandwidth available in hosts. + This is another joint effort with the Nova team +* Synchronize the adoption of the DB layer engine facade with the adoption of + Oslo Versioned Objects to avoid situations where they don't cooperate nicely +* Implement port forwarding based on floating IPs +* Continue moving externally referenced items to neutron-lib and adopting them + in Neutron and the Stadium projects. Finish documenting extensions in the API + reference. Start the move of generic DB functionality to the library +* Expand the work done with the logging API in security groups to FWaaS v2.0 +* Continue efforts in expanding our team and making its work easier. While we + had some success during Queens, this is an area where we need to maintain our + focus + +Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read this + +Miguel Lavalle (mlavalle)
