Hi, I've really not been pulling my weight as a core reviewer in TripleO since late last year when personal issues really threw me for a while. While those are behind me now, and I had a good break over the christmas and new year period, I'm sufficiently out of touch with the current (fantastic) progress being made that I don't feel comfortable +2'ing anything except the most trivial things.
Now the answer to that is to get stuck back in, page in the current blueprints and charge ahead - but... One of the things I found myself reflecting on during my break was the extreme fragility of the things we were deploying in TripleO - most of our time is spent fixing fallout from unintended, unexpected consequences in the system. I think its time to put some effort directly in on that in a proactive fashion rather than just reacting to whichever failure du jour is breaking deployments / scale / performance. So for the last couple of weeks I've been digging into the Nova (initially) bugtracker and code with an eye to 'how did we get this bug in the first place', and refreshing my paranoid distributed-systems-ops mindset: I'll be writing more about that separately, but its clear to me that there's enough meat there - both analysis, discussion, and hopefully execution - that it would be self-deceptive for me to think I'll be able to meaningfully contribute to TripleO in the short term. I'm super excited by Kolla - I think that containers really address the big set of hurdles we had with image based deployments, and if we can one-way-or-another get cinder and Ironic running out of containers, we should have a pretty lovely deployment story. But I still think helping on the upstream stuff more is more important for now. We'll see where we're at in a cycle or two :) -Rob -- Robert Collins <[email protected]> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
