Hi all,
The
Bare Metal SIG met up Wednesday, June 5 2024 at CERN – one day before
the large OpenInfra Days event. There were over 2 dozen Ironic operators
and contributors present. Riccardo gave a presentation overviewing
Metal3. JayF gave a presentation covering the basics of most Ironic
features and highlighted several features which were deprecated. While
the talks were recorded, I don't believe the recordings are available
yet – I do plan on recreating an updated version of my talk for Youtube
in the near future for anyone interested.
After
the presentations and lunch, participants returned to discuss their use
cases and ask questions relating to the earlier presentations. The
discussion, as well as specific action items/follow-ups, were documented
here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/baremetal-sig-cern-june-5-2024 – I will be documenting these action items and RFEs as appropriate over the next week.
Add
in a short afternoon break to tour the CERN data center, seeing the
thousands of machines provisioned by Ironic for CERN, and it was a
pleasant day discussing and building rapport with the Ironic community.
In my over ten years of working in Ironic, this was the most productive
operator/contributor feedback session I've had the pleasure of attending
– the attendees were engaged and I'm grateful for their participation
and attendance.
A special thanks to:
-
Dmitry Tantsur and Julia Kreger connected up remotely to the session to
help field questions. Their expertise was a great help!
- Arne Wieback and his team at CERN were gracious hosts and provided us a great VIP tour of the datacenter space.
If
you were at this event, and have feedback on how we can make future
ones better, feel free to reach out here or privately with your ideas.
Thanks,
Jay Faulkner
