[openstack-dev] [Tuskar] [TripleO] The vision and looking ahead

2013-09-19 Thread Tomas Sedovic

Hi everyone,

Some of us Tuskar developers have had the chance to meet the TripleO 
developers face to face and discuss the visions and goals of our projects.


Tuskar's ultimate goal is to have to a full OpenStack management 
solution: letting the cloud operators try OpenStack, install it, keep it 
running throughout the entire lifecycle (including bringing in new 
hardware, burning it in, decommissioning), help to scale it, secure the 
setup, monitor for failures, project the need for growth and so on.


And to provide a good user interface and API to let the operators 
control and script this easily.


Now, the scope of the OpenStack Deployment program (TripleO) includes 
not just installation, but the entire lifecycle management (from racking 
it up to decommissioning). Among other things they're thinking of are 
issue tracker integration and inventory management, but these could 
potentially be split into a separate program.


That means we do have a lot of goals in common and we've just been going 
at them from different angles: TripleO building the fundamental 
infrastructure while Tuskar focusing more on the end user experience.


We've come to a conclusion that it would be a great opportunity for both 
teams to join forces and build this thing together.


The benefits for Tuskar would be huge:

* being a part of an incubated project
* more eyballs (see Linus' Law (the ESR one))
* better information flow between the current Tuskar and TripleO teams
* better chance at attracting early users and feedback
* chance to integrate earlier into an OpenStack release (we could make 
it into the *I* one)


TripleO would get a UI and more developers trying it out and helping 
with setup and integration.


This shouldn't even need to derail us much from the rough roadmap we 
planned to follow in the upcoming months:


1. get things stable and robust enough to demo in Hong Kong on real hardware
2. include metrics and monitoring
3. security

What do you think?

My understanding is: we'd mostly keep our repos (tuskar, tukar-ui, 
python-tuskarclient) for now but probably move them from stackforge to 
openstack (since that's where all the TripleO repos live).


The Tuskar code would probably be integrated a bit later than the 
current TripleO stuff (API in I) and we'll need to meet some integration 
requirements, but I believe that eventually tuskar-ui would merge with 
Horizon just like all the other UIs do. (provided that ends up making sense)


There is some code we currently have in Tuskar that will make more sense 
to move to another project or whatever but that's details.


And yeah, Tuskarooo's great but I wouldn't say no to Tripletusk 
(Triceratops!) or say Gablerstaplerfahrer.

Indeed. To offer a little nuance here - if you could just install the
base OpenStack once on some hardware, it would be pretty useless ;).
We have to look holistically at a deployment as something that takes
place over some years, and may scale up and down. There are lots of
things that can be added onto the very core of that problem - such as
in-depth historical performance analysis - that don't change how you
deliver the core solution - and there are other things - such as the
Tuskar resource class abstraction which do change how the core
solution is implemented/delivered.

So there is a big problem space here, and we may find down the track
that there need to be more programs focusing on higher-order problems
- like a full blown CMDB's with fault correlation over time-series -
but those things are big and complex enough to take on a life of their
own : we should integrate with them but not build them :)

 That means we do have a lot of goals in common and we've just been going at
 them from different angles: TripleO building the fundamental infrastructure
 while Tuskar focusing more on the end user experience.

 We've come to a conclusion that it would be a great opportunity for both

 The benefits for Tuskar would be huge:

 * being a part of an incubated project

 * better information flow between the current Tuskar and TripleO teams
 * better chance at attracting early users and feedback
 * chance to integrate earlier into an OpenStack release (we could make it

We'll want to talk with Thierry about the process for existing
Programs adding new API server projects; that hasn't been done before
- I suspect the normal checklist will apply. E.g. stable API etc.

Cheers!
