Open Stack

I'd like to reiterate what we discussed during the "Core Awareness" topic
at yesterday's Glance weekly meeting for those who weren't able to attend
or read through the meeting logs yet.

Three Ocata priorities have already been determined:
(1) image import refactor
(2) community images (including image 'visibility' enhancements)
(3) rolling upgrades, specifically the database strategy for zero-downtime
upgrades

There's a sub-team working on image import (weekly sync in
#openstack-glance at 14:00 UTC).

Any cores not working on image import, please direct your attention to
community images:
- https://review.openstack.org/369110

- https://review.openstack.org/366354
- https://review.openstack.org/379852
With timely reviews, we may be able to land this before the summit.
Additionally, it's important to have the code merged so for the sub-team
working on rolling upgrades, so they can demonstrate how the strategy will
work on a real-life migration.

As far as rolling upgrades reviews go, there are a lot of comments on the
database strategy spec, but not many of these are from Glance cores.  It
would be good to take a look to sanity check the strategy being proposed:

Additionally, there's a patch for moving db migrations from
SQLAlchemy-migrate to Alembic:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/374278/
And a patch up to make the switch to Alembic:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/382958/
Please take the time to look these over.  If you have reservations about
the move to Alembic, now's the time to make them heard.

So, those are the Glance priorities for the next two weeks.

cheers,
brian
