Re: More frequent Fedora Cloud updates

2018-06-20 Thread Geoffrey Marr
Hi Joe,

Welcome!

I have been the QA contact for Cloud/Atomic test days for the past several
releases, so I am here to help you set up any test days you might have in
mind.

We are currently planning a F29 Beta Cloud/Atomic test day for October 1,
as shown here: [0] [1]

Let me know what you're planning for a test day and I can help
coordinate/set up QA presence and support.

Thanks,

Geoff Marr

Not this year. :( Too many things going on this summer & not enough time.

One major pain point that Fedora Cloud currently faces is the fact that once

the current release cycle but are painful on the first boot of a Fedora
Cloud instance until the user updates the instance.


That's not entirely true, the cloud images are updated for major
security events. They are also built every day [1]. The issue is to
date there's not been a proper process in which they're
updated/communicated etc. Over all I welcome what you generally
propose.


Fair enough. I guess my major point here is these updated images are not 
the something that a user can consume on each of the supported cloud 
providers after the initial GA for the current Fedora release cycle 
without a bunch of manual work.


Having a release cadence for updating these official images will help 
users out a lot.

Please define "release" as it can mean different things to different
groups. If you ask QA you will get one definition. If you ask release
engineering you will get a similar but slightly different one. And
various other groups have their own what constitutes a release. Using
the term in general leads to long threads where people are either in
violent agreement or completely arguing past each other for a long
time.

Yeah we build images every night (I talked to Joe about it), but as far
as I know we haven't "released" any updated images after GA, even for security
issues, for some time.

Hi Joe! This is awesome. It's something we've wanted for a long time
but had no one really championing it, which is exactly what it needs.

Yeah, there's one thing -- I really would like to see Fedora Cloud
merged with Fedora Server for F29 (or at the latest, F30). That
shouldn't block this plan in any way, though!

That's not entirely true, the cloud images are updated for major
security events. They are also built every day [1]. The issue is to
date there's not been a proper process in which they're

More frequent Fedora Cloud updates

2018-06-15 Thread Joe Doss

Hello!

My name is Joe Doss and I want to help the Fedora Cloud SIG bring more 
frequent tested releases of Fedora Cloud it's user base. The goal of 
this project is to provide more frequent updates of Fedora Cloud to 
users on a set cadence or on a case per case basis for major security 
events.


One major pain point that Fedora Cloud currently faces is the fact that 
once a new Fedora release comes out, the cloud images are no longer 
updated over time. This brings a poor user experience if bugs that are 
fixed later on in the current release cycle but are painful on the first 
boot of a Fedora Cloud instance until the user updates the instance.


I reached out to Dusty Mabe and he agreed to mentor me on this project 
along with help from Kellin and Mohan.


The current ideas on the table for bringing this project to light are:

* Standardize and improve Fedora Cloud tests
* Create a Fedora Cloud test day for these updates to help improve tests
* Set a release cadence policy post Fedora Release
* Set a security update policy for major security updates

We will create issues under pagure.io/cloud-sig and try to get this 
project rolling by Fedora 30 at the latest. Any comments or suggestions 
on this topic are very welcome.


Thanks!
Joe
