Hello everyone!
|
|
|
|
I would like to announce my candidacy for the Winstackers PTL election.
|
|
|
|
I have been involved in OpenStack since Havana, and even longer with Hyper-V
|
|
and Windows related technologies, and I have been the PTL of Winstackers for 3
|
|
cycles.
|
|
|
|
In the past cycle, our main focus has been adding features to the nova Hyper-V
|
|
driver (vNUMA support, setting boot order, Hyper-V OVS vif driver, FC support,
|
|
PCI passthrough support) and the Neutron Hyper-V Agent (QoS support,
|
|
trunked VLANs support).
|
|
|
|
We still a couple of pending features, waiting to be approved, which are
|
|
deferred to Pike, such as Hyper-V Shielded VMs, nested virtualization, boot
|
|
from ISO.
|
|
|
|
We have also made improvements on Hyper-V CI side, and have started upgrading
|
|
it to Hyper-V Server 2016. Currently, the nova Hyper-V CI is running with
|
|
Hyper-V Server 2016 compute nodes.
|
|
|
|
In the new cycle, there are a couple of things that I'd like us to achieve:
|
|
|
|
* Add SR-IOV support for Hyper-V in os-win and nova.
|
|
|
|
* Add support for Windows / Hyper-V Server 2016 new Network Controller and SDN
|
|
solution in networking-hyperv. This is currently in progress, and it will
|
|
help expand the supported network types of Hyper-V and the neutron-hyperv-agent
|
|
(primarely VXLAN), and it will help add L3 networking / DVR support on
|
|
Hyper-V compute nodes.
|
|
|
|
* Expand the list of tests run and the number of features tested by the Hyper-V
|
|
CI. Some of the nova Hyper-V driver's features could not be tested by the
|
|
Hyper-V CI, as those features were introduced in Hyper-V Server 2016 (
|
|
e.g.: vNIC hotplug). As we are upgrading the compute nodes, those features
|
|
become testable.
|
|
|
|
* Switching the Hyper-V nova and neutron CIs from using neutron-hyperv-agent to
|
|
neutron-ovs-agent, in order to ensure the Hyper-V OVS support.
|
|
|
|
* Add documentation for previously added features.
|
|
|
|
* Last, but not least, merge as many of the remaining features and any new
|
|
ones we'll submit upsteam.
|
|
|
|
These are the main goals I have in mind that I would like to accomplish during
|
|
the Pike cycle, among other minor goals. New goals and suggestions are welcome,
|
|
and can be proposed during the weekly Hyper-V meetings.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration,
|
|
|
|
