I would like to announce my candidacy for the position of Orchestration PTL.<br>
</p>
<p>
After contributing to Heat since it was created, I feel like I know what Heat is and can do.<br>
We have some really big challenges ahead to ensure that Heat is scalable and stays relevant.<br>
</p>
<p>
The big issues for Heat that I want to focus on are:<br>
</p>
<p>
The TripleO project have used Heat extensively and found it to be lacking in a number of<br>
areas, I believe that this is great feedback that we need to respond to very quickly.<br>
We are starting some of this (the convergence work) but I'd like to get more involved with this<br>
to make sure we can get to a solution in a timely manner.<br>
</p>
<p>
How do other projects that have been working hard in the orchestration area<br>
(TOSCA, Murano and Mistral) fit into OpenStack, and in particular, how they integrate <br>
with Heat and the Orchestration program. There is obviously lots of talk in this area <br>
(tent sizes), but I think we need to start looking forward to understand how these <br>
projects could fit together to form a cohesive product for OpenStack.<br>
</p>
<p>
How do we integrate better with existing OpenSource orchestration tools that users<br>
are familiar with using. Hopefully OpenStack orchestration does not begin and end<br>
with a CloudFormation based solution. I look forward to some fun discussions in this<br>
area;)<br>
</p>
<p>
In conclusion these are exciting times for OpenStack and in particular Orchestration.<br>
I'd love the opportunity to face these challenges head on with our great community.</p><p><br></p><p>Regards</p>Angus Salkeld<br><br>
