Open Stack

Hi Jim,

The issue is, as I see it, a parallel activity to one of the that is currently accepted into the Big Tent, aka Containerized Deployment:
Kolla's mission:
To provide production-ready containers and deployment tools for operating OpenStack clouds.

Fuel's mission:
To streamline and accelerate the process of deploying, testing and maintaining various configurations of OpenStack at scale.

To me, this totally lets both projects work together, fuel providing the bare metal provisioning/kubernetes provisioning, the k8s orchestration to manage pods/deployments/etc, its awesome ui, etc, and using kolla-kubernetes/kolla for the container bits/k8s templates. Otherwise there's a quite a bit duplication of work. This feels in line with fuel trying to reimplement another core openstack project (say, nova)

When fuel-ccp was proposed, it was proposed as more of a proof of concept and not a big tent thing: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/331139/

If you look at contributions to each of kolla-kubernetes its a fairly diverse set of contributors:
http://stackalytics.com/?module=kolla-kubernetes
fuel-ccp doesn't show up in stackalytics but if you check the commit log its very heavily dominated by one company. That's not really open development.

The kolla-kubernetes project was having discussions about how to work with the Fuel team to ensure that their needs were met, when they suddenly stopped talking and spawned a new project. This doesn't feel like working with the community. Our differences didn't feel unsolvable to the point of spawning a new, competing project.

Now its being advertised very openly. This feels like it was snuck in the back door, behind the communities back then pushed hard.

OpenStack is already distressingly fractured already. Can we try and work together rather then keep making an already pretty bad situation worse? Are the technical differences really that far apart to prevent it?

Does that help to clarify the concern?

Thanks,
Kevin

Okay, I'm still confused what part of it may be perceived as not
following the four opens.

I guess the big tent means something different to me - that a project is
"one of us" in that they work the same way we do, etc. I don't think
large efforts or large contributor base matter.

Well, it's unclear to me if Fuel is pivoting completely to Kubernetes or
adding it as an option. That said, I suspect that many configurations
will still be a thing, just that everything runs on Kubernetes.

Indeed, mostly just curious as your email was pretty strongly worded and
I didn't really understand it.
