Open Stack

This is going to be busy cycle for me, but with many exciting and
interesting topics:

*Kuryr*

Kuryr is starting to gain interest from the community and going to be
demoed and presented in OpenStack
Tokyo, i think all this positive feedback means we are on the right track
and we have a very busy
road map for Mitaka.

   1) Kuryr spec in Neutron repository [1] is accepted by most of the
Magnum team and Kuryr team,
       We are planning to demo the first milestone in Tokyo
   2) Integration with Magnum and support of the nested containers inside
VM cases
   3) Containerised Neutron plugins using Kolla
   4) Finalising the generic VIF binding layer for OVS (reference
implementation) which also can be used by OVN
   5) Testing and stability
   6) Kubernetes Integration

*Neutron*

   1) Add tags to Neutron resources spec [2]  (hopefully gets accepted by
the community)
   2) Port forwarding in Neutron [3] (still needs work to finalise design
details and spec), this is in my view
       a very needed feature which one of its use cases is also to support
Docker port mapping for Kuryr
   3) Mentoring program - i would like to present an initiative which will
help both new contributors and
       experienced members find each other and be able to delegate tasks
due to mutual interest.
       I hope this will help both sides in the long run and will simplify
this process for both sides.

*Dragonflow*

Dragonflow Liberty release is already working as a distributed control
plane across all compute nodes
and implements L2, distributed L3 and distributed DHCP.
It has a pluggable DB layer which already support different backends (etcd,
RethinkDB, OVSDB and RAMCloud)
and the process of integrating new DB framework is very simple and easy.
Dragonflow aims at solving some of the known scale/performance/HA/latency
problems in today's SDN.

   1) There are some new people joining and starting to work on the project
(some remotely)
        which means i will have to do some coaching and helping of new
contributors.
        and always welcome new people that are interested with this project.
   2) Pluggable DB layer currently support full pro-activeness (all data is
synced with all nodes)
       In the next cycle we plan to support selective pro-activeness
(meaning each node
       will only be synced with the relevant data depending on the virtual
network topology),
       and proactive-reactive approach with local cache, which means not
all data is fully distributed
       but is queried on demand and cached in the local node.
   3) Support missing Neutron API (Provider networks)
   4) Extendability - We have some interesting ideas in regards to how
external applications
       or network functions can control parts of Dragonflow pipeline
without code changes and
      implement them in a distributed manner. (using OpenFlow)
   5) Smart NICS - leveraging HW offloading and current acceleration
techniques with adjusted
       Dragonflow pipeline (we already have some partnerships going on in
this area)
   6) Distributed SNAT/DNAT
   7) Scale/performance/testing - using projects like stackforge/shaker and
deploy Dragonflow
        on large scale deployment

*OVN*

   1) OVN integration with Kuryr
   2) L3 in OVN
   3) Fault detection and management/monitoring in OVN
   4) Testing and picking up on tasks
   5) Hopefully trying to share some of the Dragonflow concepts (Pluggable
DB/ Extensibility)
       to OVN

*Blogging *

Sharing information and status in my blog [4] is very important in my view
and i hope to continue
doing so for all the above topics, hopefully providing more visibility and
help to the community
for the above projects.
