Hey team,
|
|
|
|
I would like to submit my candidacy to continue as Solum PTL for Ocata cycle.
|
|
|
|
In Newton cycle we made progress in several key areas. Here are the highlights.
|
|
|
|
1) We completed work on our Horizon dashboard. It is now possible to perform
|
|
all languagepack and app operations through the dashboard. I would like to
|
|
acknowledge and thank Swati Dewan and Zhu Rong for spearheading this work.
|
|
|
|
2) We continued building and experimenting with different options for doing app builds
|
|
and deployments. In Mitaka cycle we had worked on a feature that enabled Solum to
|
|
perform app deployments in tandem with existing CI systems such as Jenkins that can
|
|
do app builds.
|
|
In Newton cycle following new ideas were investigated:
|
|
- Building applications as VM images and deploying such images (thanks Erik Schilling)
|
|
- Building applications as Unikernels (thanks shivaSR, mvle)
|
|
- Building applications as Docker containers and deploying to VMs (CoreOS) (thanks Wei Cao)
|
|
We also completed the feature that enables application build and deploy upon receiving github
|
|
webhook triggers by Solum.
|
|
|
|
You can find screencasts demonstrating these features on Solum wiki
|
|
(https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Solum), under "Resources" section.
|
|
|
|
3) We gained several new contributors, some of whom are on their way to becoming cores.
|
|
|
|
For the Ocata cycle, some of the ideas that we can pursue together include:
|
|
- Making it easy for operators to configure and use different build and deployment options
|
|
- Adding support to deploy applications to container orchestration systems
|
|
- Support for using public Docker images, in addition to Solum languagepacks, to build
|
|
application images
|
|
Along with these, we need to keep working and improving our documentation, test coverage,
|
|
and installation tooling. (If you are interested in helping out with any of these,
|
|
please find us on Solum IRC channel (#solum on chat.freenode.net)).
|
|
|
|
Best Regards,
|
