Hello OpenStackers,
|
|
|
|
I write this to submit my candidacy for Neutron PTL during the Stein cycle.
|
|
Being PTL of this project during the Queens and Rocky cycles has been the
|
|
highest honor of my career and I want to have another shot at the very
|
|
rewarding job of helping the community to deliver better networking
|
|
functionality in OpenStack.
|
|
|
|
We had a successful Rocky cycle, delivering on most of the goals we set for
|
|
ourselves in Dublin:
|
|
|
|
* Port forwardings for floating IPs was a feature under planning for several
|
|
cycles. In Rocky we rolled up our sleeves and implemented it.
|
|
* We made the behavior of our API more consistent by properly handling filters
|
|
in requests.
|
|
* We had an excellent cross project experience with Nova, implementing
|
|
multiple port bindings to better support live instances migration.
|
|
* We made great progress moving generic DB functionality to neutron-lib and
|
|
consuming it from Neutron and the Stadium projects.
|
|
* We extended the logging API to support FWaaS v2.0.
|
|
|
|
Moving forward, these are some of the goals that I propose for the team during
|
|
the Stein cycle:
|
|
|
|
* Conclude the implementation of bandwidth based scheduling, that will enable
|
|
Neutron and Nova to guarantee network bandwidth to instances based on QoS
|
|
policies.
|
|
* Implement DVR-aware announcement of fixed IPs in neutron-dynamic-routing.
|
|
* Continue extending Neutron QoS to support L3 router gateway IPs and VPN
|
|
services.
|
|
* Conclude specifying and implement port mirroring for SR-IOV VF to VF
|
|
mirroring.
|
|
* Extend the logging API to support SNAT.
|
|
* Improve the performance of port creation in bulk.
|
|
* Neutron makes extensive use of the Ryu library, which will not be supported
|
|
by its implementor anymore. As decided in Vancouver, we will fork it and
|
|
continue supporting it in the OpenStack community.
|
|
* We will continue our efforts of de-coupling common functionality from the
|
|
Neutron repository and moving it to neutron-lib.
|
|
* With the recent departure of some of our contributors, we need to strengthen
|
|
our team of core reviewers. I have recently been working with some of our
|
|
team members towards this goal and will propose nominations in the up-coming
|
|
cycle.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read this
|
|
|
