Hi, I would like to submit my candidacy to continue as PTL of Solum for the Pike cycle.
Solum (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Solum) is a big tent project that supports building, testing, and deploying applications on OpenStack starting from applications' source code. Applications are built as Docker containers and deployed using Heat. Application containers are stored in Glance or Swift (configurable). Looking back at the Ocata cycle, some of the highlights for our team have been: - adding kolla-ansible role [1] and kolla container [2] for Solum (Many thanks to Wei Cao for spearheading this effort) - completing Ocata goal of removing incubated Oslo libraries - extending our core contributor team [3] The key focus areas for the Pike cycle include: - finding an alternative for nova-docker in our devstack setup - completing the work that we started on adding support for building applications into VM images - making it easy for operators to configure and use different build and deploy options that are supported within Solum You might remember, we have been using nova-docker as the Virt driver in our devstack setup. However, nova-docker is being retired [4]. So it is important that we find a replacement that can work in our devstack setup. We have been looking at Zun as this replacement [5]. In this cycle I hope we can finish this work, thus removing our dependence on nova-docker. One of our contributors has been working on adding support to build applications into VM images [6]. You can find the details about this use-case and approach in his thesis [7]. I hope that we are able to complete this work in this cycle. This will give Solum the ability to build and deploy applications as VM images in addition to Docker containers. Lastly, we should continue working on the Python 3.5 support [8], which has been approved as the community-wide goal for this cycle. If you are interested in Solum feel free to reach out to us here, or on Solum IRC channel (#solum on chat.freenode.net).
