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
