Greetings everyone!
|
|
|
|
I would like to nominate myself as a candidate for ironic PTL for the
|
|
Pike cycle. For those that don't know me, I'm TheJulia. I have been
|
|
working in the OpenStack community since mid-2014, and ironic since
|
|
early 2015. I'm likely best known for bifrost and advocating support
|
|
for stand-alone mode. A little less well known for helping provide
|
|
guidance for ironic-webclint and ironic-ui, plus the occassional bout
|
|
of insomnia.
|
|
|
|
You may have seen me as the quiet one in the corner, only to suddenly
|
|
speak up, and then to caveat my statement with "But I might be crazy".
|
|
Well, I think this is sufficient evidence!
|
|
|
|
To get back to the point, sometimes I do see things differently than other
|
|
people when presented with a problem. A good portion of that, at least as
|
|
far as I can tell, comes from my operations background. But I've learned
|
|
my lessons over the years and try to understand others point of view and
|
|
keep an open mind.
|
|
|
|
I am a strong believer in ironic and the work that the community undertakes,
|
|
due to the countless hours I've spent inside data center installing hardware.
|
|
|
|
I am confident that my leadership skills, ability to negotiate various
|
|
opinions, and passion for Ironic and the community that drives it will be my
|
|
strongest contributions as PTL. My goals for the Pike cycle would include:
|
|
|
|
* Greater power and management interface options such as Redfish and OpenBMC.
|
|
I think this is necessary for growing ironic's user base, and while we have
|
|
been talking about such interfaces for a while, I believe the core community
|
|
needs to help make this happen.
|
|
|
|
* Greater support partitioning and alternative disk layouts. This feels like
|
|
one of those asks that more advanced deployments keep trying to solve on
|
|
their own inside whole disk images, and while they find bugs, it would be
|
|
awesome to offer some greater flexibility.
|
|
|
|
* Location awareness is super important to providing a single view of the
|
|
world to an operator, yet right now we have no support for it as we
|
|
are limited to a single endpoint representing a distinct cluster of
|
|
conductors. We need to fix this!
|
|
|
|
I look forward to working with the Ironic community to continue improvements
|
|
and representing our community within OpenStack
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration,
|
|
|
|
