We agreed to move the discussion to the mailing list. I'll introduce the project here and give everyone a chance to ask questions. If things appear to move in the right direction, I'll propose a vote for inclusion under Ironic's governance.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Tenks is a project for managing 'virtual bare metal clusters'. It aims to be a drop-in replacement for the various scripts and templates that exist in the Ironic devstack plugin for creating VMs to act as bare metal nodes in development and test environments. Similar code exists in Bifrost and TripleO, and probably other places too. By focusing on one project, we can ensure that it works well, and provides all the features necessary as support for bare metal in the cloud evolves.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">That's tenks the concept. Tenks in reality today is a working version 1.0, written in Ansible, built by Will Miller (w-miller) during his summer placement. Will has returned to his studies, and Will Szumski (jovial) has picked it up. You don't have to be called Will to work on Tenks, but it helps.</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">There are various resources available for anyone wishing to find out more:</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">* Ironic spec review: <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/579583" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/579583</a></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">* Documentation: <a href="https://tenks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/" target="_blank">https://tenks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/</a></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">* Source code: <a href="https://github.com/stackhpc/tenks" target="_blank">https://github.com/stackhpc/tenks</a></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">* Blog: <a href="https://stackhpc.com/tenks.html" target="_blank">https://stackhpc.com/tenks.html</a></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">* IRC: mgoddard or jovial in #openstack-ironic</div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">What does everyone think?
