Hello everyone!
I would like to announce my candidacy for the Winstackers PTL election.
I have been involved in OpenStack since Havana, and even longer with Hyper-V
and Windows related technologies, and I have been the PTL of Winstackers for 3
cycles.
In the past cycle, our main focus has been adding features to the nova Hyper-V
driver (vNUMA support, setting boot order, Hyper-V OVS vif driver, FC support,
PCI passthrough support) and the Neutron Hyper-V Agent (QoS support,
trunked VLANs support).
We still a couple of pending features, waiting to be approved, which are
deferred to Pike, such as Hyper-V Shielded VMs, nested virtualization, boot
from ISO.
We have also made improvements on Hyper-V CI side, and have started upgrading
it to Hyper-V Server 2016. Currently, the nova Hyper-V CI is running with
Hyper-V Server 2016 compute nodes.
In the new cycle, there are a couple of things that I'd like us to achieve:
* Add SR-IOV support for Hyper-V in os-win and nova.
* Add support for Windows / Hyper-V Server 2016 new Network Controller and SDN
solution in networking-hyperv. This is currently in progress, and it will
help expand the supported network types of Hyper-V and the neutron-hyperv-agent
(primarely VXLAN), and it will help add L3 networking / DVR support on
Hyper-V compute nodes.
* Expand the list of tests run and the number of features tested by the Hyper-V
CI. Some of the nova Hyper-V driver's features could not be tested by the
Hyper-V CI, as those features were introduced in Hyper-V Server 2016 (
e.g.: vNIC hotplug). As we are upgrading the compute nodes, those features
become testable.
* Switching the Hyper-V nova and neutron CIs from using neutron-hyperv-agent to
neutron-ovs-agent, in order to ensure the Hyper-V OVS support.
* Add documentation for previously added features.
* Last, but not least, merge as many of the remaining features and any new
ones we'll submit upsteam.
These are the main goals I have in mind that I would like to accomplish during
the Pike cycle, among other minor goals. New goals and suggestions are welcome,
and can be proposed during the weekly Hyper-V meetings.
Thank you for your consideration,
Claudiu Belu
