Hello, my name is Jan-Erik Mangs. I’ve worked with IT infrastructure
|
||
since the early days of the Internet. I have a background in computer
|
||
science and a strong base in networking. I’ve been with Ericsson now
|
||
for many years, both in research and development and I’ve worked with
|
||
cloud technologies from the start. I have a very good understanding of
|
||
telecom environments, having worked both with OpenStack and Kubernetes
|
||
in this context. I’ve always kept one leg in the lab, combining theory
|
||
with practice and I've worked with operations for many years. So, I’ve
|
||
learned the value of automation the hard way. For that reason, I
|
||
really see the value in Airship.
|
||
|
||
As an end user of Airship since its inclusion in the OpenStack
|
||
Foundation (2018) I have spent a lot of time learning the benefits and
|
||
complications of working with Airship for both new and intermediate
|
||
users. I've also participated in the Airship community since the start
|
||
and I'm currently on the Airship Technical Committee.
|
||
|
||
I believe in the mission of Airship, and it’s growing community, and I
|
||
feel that for it to be successful simplification and usability needs
|
||
to be focus items. With Airship 2 we have a unique opportunity to
|
||
improve the end user experience. If we do the right things, we can
|
||
attract end users from the Kubernetes community. The addition of
|
||
Microsoft to the project strengthens the possibilities even
|
||
further. We also need to improve Airship networking out of the box.
|
||
If elected to the TC I will focus on these things.
|
||
|
||
I also have an Internet-facing lab that's used in the development of
|
||
Airship (bare metal clusters, VMs, networking scenarios etc.). The lab
|
||
is primarily used by (but not limited to) Ericsson persons. If
|
||
elected, I intend to explore further use cases jointly with the
|
||
community.
|
||
|
||
I intend to work across the Open Infrastructure and Kubernetes
|
||
communities to facilitate best approaches and industry standards in
|
||
the platform, both to increase ease of use and establish future
|
||
looking models for usability and operations. I'll also be an
|
||
evangelist for Airship, in particular in northern Europe.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for your consideration.
|
||
|

Jan-Erik Mangs
