Hello Everyone,
I am pleased to announce my candidacy to continue as the PTL for OpenStack-Helm in the
upcoming 2024.1 release cycle.
## Key accomplishments we have collectively achieved during the Bobcat cycle
### New Features:
- Integrated a Manila chart, expanding the range of out-of-the-box use-cases.
- Introduced OVN chart and support in Neutron, as OVN is emerging as the de facto standard for OpenStack networking.
- Launched a Tacker chart to engage telecom sectors as potential users and contributors.
- Upgraded the Elasticsearch chart to version 8.9.0.
- Initiated the transition to Rook operator for Ceph management, with completion expected by cycle end.
### Pipeline and Compatibility:
- Added Compute-kit and Cinder jobs to the check pipeline for Yoga, Zed, and Antelope releases,
thereby extending the range of officially supported Openstack releases.
### Platform Support:
- We stay Ubuntu-centric due to lack of resources for support of multiple platforms. During this cycle we
introduced Ubuntu Jammy images, and initiated extensive testing for Jammy-based deployments.
### Other Improvements:
- Enhanced Compute-kit job stability by adopting a multinode test environment for specific releases.
- Cleaned up the OpenStack-Helm storyboard. Over 100 stories were reviewed, verified and fixed or closed.
as outdated.
- Numerous minor fixes and adjustments, including updates for recent Kubernetes releases.
A big thank you to everyone for your contributions.
## Looking Ahead
### Documentation:
The documentation still needs to be improved and aligned with all the recent changes. Users need clear
understanding of how to deploy/upgrade Openstack components and which releases and scenarios are thoroghly tested
and expected to work.
### Compatibility:
We plan to continue expanding support for recent OpenStack and Kubernetes releases and additional Linux distributions.
I am eager to continue in my role as PTL to ensure these initiatives move forward.
Thank you,
Vladimir Kozhukalov
