Hello everyone,
We recently expanded the scope of the Ops Docs SIG to also include any ops tooling. I think it's now time to move on to the next step of actually getting some of the old tooling in place and organized how we want it.
We have several semi-abandoned repos from back when there was more work being done on ops tooling. During the great rebranding, those all were moved under the x/ namespace:
https://opendev.org/x/?tab=&sort=recentupdate&q=osops
Since these are now owned by an official SIG, we can move this content back under the openstack/ namespace. That should help increase visibility somewhat, and make things look a little more official. It will also allow contributors to tooling to get recognition for contributing to an import part of the OpenStack ecosystem.
I do think it's can be a little more difficult to find things spread out over several repos though. For simplicity with finding tooling, as well as watching for reviews and helping with overall maintenance, I would like to move all of these under a common openstack/osops. Under that repo, we can then have a folder structure with tools/logging, tools/monitoring, etc.
Then with everything in one place, we can have docs published in one place that helps find everything and easily links between tools. We can also capture some metadata about the tools, and use that to reflect their state in those docs.
Please let me know if there are any objects to this plan. Otherwise, I will start cleaning things up and getting it staged in a new repo to be imported as an official repo owned by the SIG.
Thanks!
Sean
