Greeting, Over the last release, I have had the privilege and honor to serve as the PTL of Magnum. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for all your support and contribution to Magnum. And I look forward to working with you all over the next release. Therefore, I would like announce my candidacy to serve as the Magnum project team leader for the U cycle, if you will have me. In case if you don't know me, I've been working on and contributing to Magnum since Queens release as a core developer. And I have done a lot work for Magnum to help it getting production ready, e.g. the Calico network driver, nodes anti affinity, k8s health status check, Keystone auth, coreDNS autoscale, rolling upgrade, auto scaling, auto healing, private cluster, getting Magnum certified by CNCF and etc, etc. That said, I really understand the ups and downs which Magnum went through and I know the blueprints, direction and pains of this project, for interests from both private cloud and public cloud sides, which make me a good candidate for the PTL position. For U release (including the rest of Train cycle), things I'd like to do: 1. Fedora CoreOS The most matured driver for Kubernetes in Magnum is Fedora Atomic, however, the Fedora community is moving to Fedora CoreOS, so we should start to think about the migration. We have started the work but haven't finished it due to the limited resource among the team. This need to be done in Train or early of U cycle. 2. Node groups Node groups provide users with the ability to specify groups of nodes with different properties for different purposes. Within the scope of a group users are able to define labels, used image, flavor, etc depending on the purpose. We have merged part of this huge feature, but we do need to finish the rest of the work. 3. Security hardening Security is always the most important area we would like to improve for Magnum, there are still parts we need to improve to make Magnum more securer. 4. Containerize Kubernetes master This could be one of the most interesting features for Magnum and it's definitely hard work. Running Kubernetes master nodes in a seed/root Kubernetes could bring us a lot of benefits. 5. Rolling upgrade for node operating system With the big support from CERN, We have done the k8s version rolling upgrade, but we still need the rolling upgrade work for node operating system. I have already got a patch for that being reviewed now. It has been a fantastic experience working with this amazing team and I know without the dedication and hard work of everyone who has contributed to Magnum we can't get those good work done. So the PTL of this cool team is most like a facilitator, coordinator, and mentor. I would be pleased to serve as PTL for Magnum for the U cycle and I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks for your consideration! -- Cheers & Best regards, Feilong Wang (王飞龙) ------------------------------------------------------ Senior Cloud Software Engineer Tel: +64-48032246 Email: flwang@catalyst.net.nz Catalyst IT Limited Level 6, Catalyst House, 150 Willis Street, Wellington ------------------------------------------------------
