Hello everyone,
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of the OpenStack-Ansible project
|
|
for Ocata.
|
|
|
|
I have been involved in OpenStack-Ansible since its inception, and have been a
|
|
part of the continual growth and improvements that have happened since its
|
|
foundation. During this time, OpenStack-Ansible has transformed from a project
|
|
where the main aim was new features and role growth, to a project where the key
|
|
goal is stability and manageability. This is supported by new and diverse
|
|
contributors recognizing this move towards maturity and getting involved to help
|
|
the project grow.
|
|
|
|
I view this move towards stability and manageability as key to the success of
|
|
OpenStack-Ansible long term. With that in mind, and with Ocata being a shorter
|
|
cycle, I'd like to have a stronger focus on 2 main areas, that will increase
|
|
stability and manageability:
|
|
|
|
1. Testing standardization
|
|
|
|
During Newton we have built momentum around testing, and I'd like to focus
|
|
on keeping that momentum going. The implementation and adoption of the single
|
|
'openstack-ansible-tests' repository is key to this. It will allow us to
|
|
efficiently ramp up tests for different scenarios, and standardize the way in
|
|
which we perform testing on our repositories. The standard framework that
|
|
this approach creates will help with the implementation of new projects
|
|
within OpenStack-Ansible, and reduce code duplication.
|
|
|
|
2. Upgrade process
|
|
|
|
I'd like to analyse the current deployment process and look to improve its
|
|
efficiency. I believe we can improve this by creating a clearer separation
|
|
between the build, deploy and configuration phases. This has good
|
|
connotations for how we upgrade deployments, and potentially leads to a more
|
|
repeatable and reliable upgrade procedure that can be adopted by all
|
|
operators and deployers of OpenStack-Ansible.
|
|
|
|
Alongside these two strong focus points, I would like to continually work
|
|
towards maintaining a high level of community efforts around documentation,
|
|
the Ansible 2.x implementation work, uwsgi implementation, amongst other
|
|
important initiatives that the community are driving.
|
|
|
|
I look forward to working with everybody to continue to improve this project,
|
|
and I'm excited to have the opportunity to lead this dynamic community to a more
|
|
stable and manageable future.
|
|
