Hello everyone!
|
||
|
||
Heat project is one of the most interesting, in my opinion, projects. I have
|
||
had a great opportunity to be a contributor and core-member of this project.
|
||
This experience allowed to me to become a part of the amazing OpenStack
|
||
community. Honestly it would not be possible without support of our friendly
|
||
and kind Heat community. I think that it's the main reason why I want to raise
|
||
my hand and propose my candidacy for PTL.
|
||
I think that the Team and Project helped me a lot to develop. So I'd like
|
||
to provide reciprocal service. I want to continue to improve the Heat project
|
||
as a part of the Big Tent.
|
||
During the last couple of releases we started the huge architecture change
|
||
(code named 'convergence'). One of my aims is to continue this work and collect
|
||
more feedback from all our users and especially from Level up projects, like
|
||
Sahara, TripleO, Murano, etc. with the aim of enabling convergence by default.
|
||
Besides convergence work, the Heat team spends a lot of time making Heat
|
||
more user-friendly. There are couple of good examples of this work: improving
|
||
deprecation process and related documentation, providing more user oriented
|
||
features - conditional resource exposure, other template functionality,
|
||
filtering and sorting client improvements. I personally like to hear feedback
|
||
from users about this functionality. And I think we should continue improving
|
||
our documentation, functionality for end-users and especially for new
|
||
contributors, who will be happy to work with clear and pleasant code base.
|
||
Another important part of code is testing, which should be improved. Heat
|
||
already has a pretty good test coverage, but I suppose, that we should not
|
||
forget about it and continue to add more unit tests and functional
|
||
tests :)
|
||
The last, but the not less important theme for me is scalability of Heat.
|
||
In my opinion it's an important topic for all of the Big Tent community. So I'd
|
||
like to help Heat gather more feedback from real usage examples and improve
|
||
this area. I think, that guys from Sahara and TripleO teams have a lot of
|
||
experience in this area and may collaborate with us to build the best solution.
|
||
In closing, I'd like to ensure that everyone knows I will continue with the
|
||
successful tradition of consensus building. We have a very strong team
|
||
(with many previous PTL's) that I hope I can rely on for support.
