Update on Weekly Technical Discussion of the Charter

@Gergely Csatari

Covered mostly @Gergely Csatari comments - actions recorded.



10 min

Pod resources, refreshes, Redfish(es), other HW topics.
RA2 - Cluster LCM ongoing discussion
WSL/PTL updates

@Al Morton

@Walter.kozlowski

WSLs / PTLs

@Trevor Cooperwould like a better picture of what OTHER resources there are, w.r.t. UNH resources and LF resources.  No one wants to give up resources...

Also, What resources do we really need?  all resources were identical when the pod definition was created, but what do we need now?  Really need a group to look at these questions - more than the process to request hardware - need a better process to allocate resources.

@Cédric Ollivier could use resources if available.

Also, the budget that was spent in 2020. went to UNH lab.

@Sridhar Rao will help, with assessment of intel pods.

@Cédric Ollivier is CNTT RC-1 Field Trial OVER???  Need to communicate about this, because it will free-up resources if it is over. Mirantis and Orange participated.

@Riccardo Gasparetto Stori RA-2:  whether to include K8s Clusters or not? discussion on-going here

@Walter.kozlowski RM workstream working closely with RA 1 and 2, will be ready for May milestones.

@Pankaj.Goyal RA1 Target is OS TRAIN  (RA can be ahead of RI versions AIRSHIP Installer == Stein)

@Emma Foley Zoom crashed, I would appreciate a TL;DR of the answer to "How do we deal with supporting older versions of OpenStack when we need to test new features?"

@Cédric Ollivier  Decouple RI testing (for VNF)  but RC testing, leverage testing on ANY system that is needed. Functest does this now.  Main challenge is how to deal with all these different releases in Anuket, starting with OS and K8s.  May need 3 or 4 OS releases covered in a single A-release.

Question about current community interest, limited to Train at present, but there is a spectrum of releases covered by parts of the community (Functest covers 6 OS releases, benchmarking tools can cover many releases because their API does not change much).

Outstanding Action Items

Need the statement of Business value (focused on the vendor community) from the Marketing WG. @Brandon Wick @Bob Monkman (Deactivated)
For all PTLs - identify the Lab resources you are currently using!  by Mar 2, 2021 
Anuket Recruiting:  Bob Monkman heads up the Anuket marketing group. We could invite him for a readout in 2-3 weeks from Feb 23, 2021@Bob Monkman (Deactivated) @Brandon Wickgave the readout.
Need to do a poll, following a survey for M-release names.  Could choose ALL the names, if that's simpler!



LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative (LGBMCR)

Role:

  • The role of the LFN Governing Board Member Committers Representative (LGBMCR) is to represent the committers and contributors to LFN projects at the LFN Governing board.  The expectation of the LGBMCR is to attend all LFN Governing board meetings (and any appropriate ancillary meetings), gather input from the committer community for issues raised at the board level, and to communicate to the committer community key activities from board.

  • LGBMCR is elected for the 1 year. Re-election is not possible.

Eligible candidates:

  • Candidates must be active committers to at least one LFN project.

  • Candidates can self-nominate, or be nominated by other community members. In the latter case, candidates must accept the nomination before the election is conducted.

  • Candidates must be an active committer to a LFN project which differs from the LFN project that the currently servicing LGBMCR is an active committer of.
