Hi,
|
|
|
|
I'm writing this in order to announce my candidacy for Trove PTL during
|
|
the Train cycle.
|
|
|
|
I am not a long time contributor for Trove but I've been contributing to
|
|
Openstack for more than 6 years, I've only contributed several patches
|
|
to Trove during Stein, mainly for devstack installation improvement and
|
|
imporve Trove management network. The reason I touched Trove for recent
|
|
half a year is because we have been deploying a private cloud for our
|
|
customer and Trove is one of the key cloud services that our customer
|
|
demands. After that, we will also deploy Trove in our public cloud. Aa s
|
|
result, Trove is one of our long term support cloud services.
|
|
|
|
However, I found there are several problems during my contribution to
|
|
Trove. I'd like to help to solve as most of them as I could if I am
|
|
elected as the PTL.
|
|
|
|
- No one from the current Trove team is actively answering questions in
|
|
the IRC channel, and the review process is a little bit slow. As a
|
|
project without any active contributors, personally I think replying
|
|
promptly to any question related could attract the people who are
|
|
interested in the project, not to mention whose who will potentially
|
|
deploy Trove.
|
|
- The default Trove devsatck installation has many restrictions, and the
|
|
devstack installation process is not repeatable which is not friendly
|
|
to the deverlopers. Trove also supports a 'big' script called
|
|
trovestack which include devstack installation, it's convinient, but
|
|
also need to be maintained carefully.
|
|
- The nova-network related code is spreaded in the repo, which makes it
|
|
very difficult for new feature implementation and bugfix as well.
|
|
nova-network was deprecated in the OpenStack Newton release, writing
|
|
code that support both Neutron and nova-network is annoying and waste
|
|
the deverloper's time. If we want Trove to continue to be involved, we
|
|
need to remove nova-network related code first.
|
|
- Security. This topic has been discussed in the community many times in
|
|
the past few years. Unfortunately, I didn't see any consensus as for
|
|
now. As a public cloud provider, it's a roadblock for us to deploy
|
|
Trove unless the security issue is appropriately solved. One thing I
|
|
can tell is, after removing the nova-network code, it's possible to
|
|
solve(or partially solve) the security issue.
|
|
|
|
In one word, I care Trove.
|
|
|
|
Thanks a lot!
