<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had a super
productive summit with many very active participants. Thanks to everybody who
participated. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Detailed minutes

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had a talk and 4
Watcher sessions during the summit.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- The <b>first
session</b> was a Fishbowl session where we discussed the list of strategies
available in Watcher as well as went over Watcher and its charter for new
people interested in Watcher. <span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- On Thursday,
Jean-Em<span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">ile (jed56)</span>, Joe <span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">(jwcroppe) </span>and myself (<span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">sballe)
</span>gave <b>a talk on “Watcher, the Infrastructure Optimization service for
OpenStack: Plans for the O-release and beyond<span style="color:rgb(31,73,125)">”</span>.</b>
We had more than 50 people attending the session.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">- During the <b>second
Watcher session</b>, we did a Watcher Newton retrospective for the Newton
release. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul><li>The
great accomplishment was that we got Watcher accepted into the big tent in May.<br></li><li>AT&T
described a use case around NFV placement where there is a need to optimize a
small clouds at the edge.<br></li><li>We
talked about needing more people to do reviews both on spec and on code.<br></li></ul><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in"><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- During the <b>third
Watcher session</b>, we validated Ocata priorities & assignees. We
discussed all the blueprints in details and ensured that our load for Ocata is
reasonable and inline with previous releases..<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul><li>As
part of this session we discussed the deprecation of the Ceilometer APIs and
the impact on Watcher. While no final decision was taken around this topic the
team felt that supporting Monasca as a backend for telemetry was a good
strategy given the scalability issue with the current version of Ceilometer and
Gnocchi’s early stages.</li></ul><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- The <b>fourth
session</b> was a community meetup. We discussed multi-datacenter(multi-region)
workload optimization, how to bridge to non OpenStack public cloud and
container Clouds, etc.<span></span></p>
