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 4
|
|
cycles.
|
|
|
|
Feature-wise, things have become stable, meaning that there are only a few
|
|
features that we'd like to implement. The primary focus of this cycle has been
|
|
bug fixing, and feature test coverage. In this regard, we have added a new
|
|
project into the Winstackers governance: oswin-tempest-plugin [1], which will
|
|
help us make sure that previously added features and future ones work as
|
|
intended.
|
|
|
|
The Hyper-V CI has been upgraded to use Hyper-V Server 2016 nodes, which means
|
|
that it will be able to test features that are only available on Windows /
|
|
Hyper-V Server 2016 or newer (vNIC hotplugging, Linux Secure Boot).
|
|
|
|
We have added reno support in os-win and networking-hyperv, and we're planning
|
|
on using release notes when needed.
|
|
|
|
We have also added an ansible role for adding Hyper-V as compute nodes using
|
|
Kolla [2].
|
|
|
|
There are a few items which have not been completed yet, such as:
|
|
|
|
* SR-IOV support. This feature was delayed due to the lack of proper hardware
|
|
to test it with, but at the moment, we are close to having a functioning POC.
|
|
At the moment, the os-win patch has been sent [3], and the networking-hyperv
|
|
and nova patches will soon follow. At the moment, the plan is to have the
|
|
neutron-hyperv-agent act as the neutron sriov-agent equivalent on Hyper-V.
|
|
We'll have to see how it will work with OVS and the neutron-ovs-agent.
|
|
|
|
* Windows / Hyper-V Server 2016 Network Controller support. At the moment, the
|
|
Network Controller python client is implemented [4], the agent side of the
|
|
HNV Controller is implemented, and the HNV ML2 mechanism driver is currently
|
|
under review.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the new cycle, I'd like us to accomplish the following goals:
|
|
|
|
* Finish the items mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
* Add more tests in oswin-tempest-plugin, get the Hyper-V CI to run over the
|
|
project, and include the tests in the Hyper-V CI in relevant OpenStack
|
|
projects.
|
|
|
|
* Improve documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are currently looking into different Hyper-V features, their utility, and
|
|
how they can be integrated into OpenStack, which means that the list of
|
|
objectives get longer as times passes on. New goals and suggestions are
|
|
welcome, of course.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your consideration,
|
|
|
|
