Ken'ichi Ohmichi (oomichi)
Hi everyone,
Thank you for given chance to run as a PTL in current Newton cycle.
This experience is exciting and I am glad to work together in the community.
I'd like to continue running as the PTL in the Ocata cycle.
# Newton Summary
At first, it is nice to summarize the Newton cycle for the next Ocata cycle.
We have worked for multiple items in this Newton cycle, and the progress is
amazing. To be honest, my power is not enough to cover all area and this
achievement has been attained by all contributors in this project.
Thank you very much for your contributions.
## Tempest
Tempest is a biggest project under OpenStack QA, the commit number is 13th
of 754 in whole OpenStack[1]. During the Newton cycle, we have provided
Tempest CLI workflow. Users can use Tempest for different clouds/usecases
with separated workspaces, then the operation becomes easy.
The other thing is the cleanup. Tempest had deep class hierarchy and some
magic for resource creation and cleanup. That made investigations hard when
detecting issues. We have removed such barriers for easy debugging.
Now Tempest provides test frameworks to whole OpenStack projects with stable
interfaces. The interfaces still are increasing by releasing Tempest for helping
the other projects. In the Newton cycle, we released 2 versions(12.1.0, 12.2.0)
and they contain many features as these renos[2]. The other projects switched
using these stable interfaces, this situation is appreciated.
## Devstack
One of big Devstack changes is Neutron becomes the default. Neutron is the
direction as the network service instead of nova-net. The change has long
history like enabling/reverting the default Neutron, and now the activation
is stable. So we will be able to get feedback about Neutron widely from
the ecosystem and that will make the quality better in long-term.
The other try is the Devstack code migration for Heat. Devstack provides
a plugin interface to manage its own Devstack code on each project repo,
that makes each project development smooth. The Devstack code has been
implemented in Heat repo and the Heat gate starts running by using that
in the Newton cycle. In addition, several projects rely on Heat. So these
projects need to enable Heat on the gate, and Magnum team succeeded to
do that by working together with Heat team. That is a good collaboration
across projects.
## OpenStack-Health
OpenStack-Health is a useful tool to know test condition of whole OpenStack
projects from bird's-eye view. By using much data for showing graphs, the
performance became issue and we have improved that in this cycle.
The other thing is links to elastic recheck and bug report.
On last failed tests, we can see related elastic recheck and bug report on
the same line. That helps developers to investigate gate issues.
# For Ocata
Based on the Newton experience, I think there are several items for the Ocata cycle.
* Help other projects:
According to the other projects' PTL candidacies, many future PTLs will work
for QA in the next cycle. QA team will continue helping these projects by
communicating to the other projects. And it is nice to provide good document
which describes how to use new test interfaces of Tempest for the other projects.
* Continue bug triage:
An interesting thing is that bug reports tend to be submitted as Tempest bugs
even if they are due to the other projects' issues. So the bug triage of Tempest
is important to improve whole OpenStack quality by setting reports to suitable
projects. We started some prototype[3] to show bug triage progress of Tempest.
Such kind of graph will be helpful to motivate people for the triage. I hope
this will be expanded to other projects.
This is my proposal and thanks for giving me a chance to raise my hand again.
Regardless of the election result, I will do my best in this project for the next cycle.
Thanks
Ken'ichi Ohmichi
