But, it is generally a useful tool and something I … Continue reading Python Test Runners →

It feels like people are busy. Traffic in the #openstack-tc channel has been light for the past week. Forum Topics By this coming Thursday we hope to have determined which of several topics should be proposed for the forum. Kolla Situation In email ... [More] and in IRC discussion Wednesday and Thursday the many faces of Kolla have been debated. This started as a discussion of whether kolla-kubernetes should be retired but has branched widely since then, including plenty of discussion on whether Kolla is doing containers "the right way" (whatever that might be), and whether the start scripts in Kolla images should be moved.

Ultimately we'll use Spinnaker for our whole CI/CD lifecycle management, but let's just start by creating an application that lets us resize a cluster based on feedback from an external system.

The OpenStack community runs over 300 000 CI jobs with Ansible every month with the help of the awesome Zuul. It even provides ARA reports for ARA’s integration test jobs in a sort-of nested way. Zuul’s Ansible ends up installing Ansible and ARA. It ... [More] makes my brain hurt sometimes… but in an awesome way. As a core contributor of the infrastructure team there, I get to witness issues and get a lot of feedback directly from the users. [Less]

One way to learn a new technology is to compare it to what you already know. I’ve heard a lot about Istio, and I don’t really grok it yet, so this post is my attempt to get the ideas solid … Continue reading →
