<p>An update on the Ops Guide and Arch Design Guide:<br>
</p>
<p><u>Arch Design Guide</u></p>
<p>Ben Silverman, Yi Leong Sun, and I have been meeting up biweekly
to discuss progress of the Arch Guide and allocate tasks. For
Pike, we have reviewed the guide in more detail and made some
broad changes to the ToC, cleaned up the index page, and moved
some ops-related content back to the Ops Guide. I will update the
Pike spec [1] to more accurately reflect these changes. </p>
<p>The current priority is to complete writing the Design chapter,
and so far we have completed Compute Design section, and currently
revising the Storage Design section and the Network Design
section. We have been using the arch-guide etherpad [2] to assign
tasks and track our progress. I have created bugs [3] for some of
the tasks that need to be completed, so volunteers are most
welcome.<br>
</p>
<p>In regards to the Cloud Use Cases chapter, the plan is to develop
a template to apply to all cloud use cases, and to be aligned with
the EWG Reference Architectures that Leong has been working on.
Ben and Leong will work on this part of the guide in due course.<br>
</p>
<p><u>Ops Guide</u></p>
<p>For Pike, we removed the architecture section and migrated the
relevant content to the Arch Design Guide. It has been discussed
for some time that the guide needs a major overhaul with committed
help from Ops. I believe Alex has some plans in motion (?) to make
this happen.<br>
</p>
<p>FYI, it's unlikely I will be working on OpenStack in my next job
role. Until then, Ben will be the point of contact for the Arch
Design Guide, and I will continue efforts (somewhat sporadically)
on the guide and general upstream contributions in my spare time.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Darren</p>
