My name is Boris.
I'm announcing my candidacy for Rally PTL for the Mitaka release.
Few years ago I started Rally to help OpenStack community to simplify
performance/load/scale/volume testing of OpenStack and actually make it simple
to answer on question: "How OpenStack perform (in ones very specific case)".
Rally team did a terrific job to make from just a small initial 100 line
script, project that you can see now.
It covers most of the user cases, has plugins for most of the projects, high
quality of code & docs, as well it's simple to install/use/integrate and it
works quite stable.
However we are in the middle of our path and there are plenty of places that
should be improved:
* New input task format - that address all current issues
https://github.com/openstack/rally/blob/master/doc/specs/in-progress/new_rally_input_task_format.rst
* Multi scenario load generation
That will allow us to do the monitoring with testing, HA testing under
load and load from many "different" types of workloads.
* Scaling up Rally DB
This will allow users to run non stop workloads for days or generate
really huge distributed load for a quite long amount of time
* Distributed load generation
Generation of really huge load like 100k rps
* Workloads framework
Benchmarking that measures performance of Servers, VMs, Network and Volumes
* ...infinity list from here:

In other words I would like to continue to work as PTL of Rally until
we get all this done.
