Nice to hear Jay! :)
It was intentional from the beginning to not be in the deployment
space, we allowed those projects in (not unanimously IIRC) and most of
them did not evolve as expected.
Just for the record, it also happens out of the deployment space. We
allowed (not unanimously either, irrc) some projects to be part of the
Big Tent and some of them have died or are dying.
Sure, and this is a natural thing.
As I mentioned, I support removing Fuel from the official OpenStack
projects list because the project has lost the majority of its
contributors and Mirantis has effectively moved in a different
direction, causing Fuel to be a wilting flower (to use Thierry's
delightful terminology).
I would not mind picking one winner and spending effort making an
extremely easy, smooth, upgradable install that is The OneTrue
OpenStack, I do not expect us to ever agree what that will look like
so it is effectively never going to happen. We've seen how far
single-vendor projects have gone, and none of them reached that level.
Regarding all the company efforts to invest in one deployment tool,
it's going to be super hard to find The OneTrue and convince everyone
else to work on it.
Right, as Dean said above :)
Future will tell us but it's possible that deployments tools will be
reduced to 2 or 3 projects if it continues that way (Fuel is slowly
dying, Puppet OpenStack has less and less contributors, same for Chef
afik, etc).
Not sure about that. OpenStack Ansible and Kolla have emerged over the
last couple years as very strong communities with lots of momentum.
Sure, Chef has effectively died and yes, Puppet has become less shiny.
But the deployment and packaging space will always (IMHO) be the domain
of the Next Shiny Thing.
Witness containers vs. VMs (as deployment targets).
Witness OS packages vs. virtualenv/pip installs vs. application
container images.
Witness Pacemaker/OCF resource agents vs. an orchestrated level-based
convergence system like k8s or New Heat.
Witness LTS releases vs. A/B deployments vs. continuous delivery.
Witness PostgreSQL vs. MySQL vs. NoSQL vs. NewSQL.
Witness message queue brokers vs. 0mq vs. etcd-as-system-bus.
As new tools, whether fads or long-lasting, come and go, so do
deployment strategies and tooling. I'm afraid this won't change any time
soon :)
Best,
