<br>
In advance of the Vancouver Summit, I'm leading an effort to publish a<br>
community produced white-paper on OpenStack and container integrations.<br>
This has come out of a need to develop materials, both short and long<br>
form, to help explain how OpenStack interacts with container<br>
technologies across the entire stack, from infrastructure to<br>
application. The rough outline of the white-paper proposes an entire<br>
technology stack and discuss deployment and usage strategies at every<br>
level. The white-paper will focus on existing technologies, and how they<br>
are being used in production today across our community. Beginning at<br>
the hardware layer, we have the following outline (which may be inverted<br>
for clarity):<br>
<br>
* OpenStack Ironic for managing bare metal deployments.<br>
* Container-based deployment tools for installing and managing OpenStack<br>
* Kolla containers and Kolla-Ansible<br>
* Loci containers and OpenStack Helm<br>
* OpenStack-hosted APIs for managing container application<br>
infrastructure.<br>
* Magnum<br>
* Zun<br>
* Community-driven integration of Kubernetes and OpenStack with K8s<br>
Cloud Provider OpenStack<br>
* Projects that can stand alone in integrations with Kubernetes and<br>
other cloud technology<br>
* Cinder<br>
* Neutron with Kuryr and Calico integrations<br>
* Keystone authentication and authorization<br>
<br>
I'm looking for volunteers to help produce the content for these sections<br>
(and any others we may uncover to be useful) for presenting a complete<br>
picture of OpenStack and container integrations. If you're involved with<br>
one of these projects, or are using any of these tools in<br>
production, it would be fantastic to get your input in producing the<br>
appropriate section. We especially want real-world deployments to use as<br>
small case studies to inform the work.<br>
<br>
During the process of creating the white-paper, we will be working with a<br>
technical writer and the Foundation design team to produce a document that<br>
is consistent in voice, has accurate and informative graphics that<br>
can be used to illustrate the major points and themes of the white-paper,<br>
and that can be used as stand-alone media for conferences and<br>
presentations.<br>
<br>
Over the next week, I'll be reaching out to individuals and inviting them<br>
to collaborate. This is also a general invitation to collaborate, and if<br>
you'd like to help out with a section please reach out to me here, on the<br>
K8s #sig-openstack Slack channel, or at my work e-mail, <a href="mailto:chris@openstack.org">chris@openstack.org</a>.<br>
Starting next week, we'll work out a schedule for producing and delivering<br>
the white-paper by the Vancouver Summit. We are very short on time, so<br>
we will have to be focused to quickly produce high-quality content.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance to everyone who participates in writing this<br>
document. I'm looking forward to working with you in the coming weeks to<br>
publish this important resource for clearly describing the multitude of<br>
interactions between these complementary technologies.<br>
