Hi Christian,

Sure thing :) To sum it up I would like to see us focus on Kolla in 
production environments. This is the mission of the project, and we 
still have ways to go. Specifically:

* Improving our tooling. Currently kolla-ansible (as in the shell 
script) is very simplistic and requires operators to go under to the 
hood for basic things such as checking the health of their cloud, 
diffing configs, viewing logs, etc. [0]

* Related to the above, we need improved monitoring in Kolla.

* Finish the zero downtime upgrade work.

* Resolving issues around configuration [1]. We need to decide how much 
we want to provide and make it as straight forward as possible for 
operators to override.

* Documentation should continue to be a priority.

* Finally, I would like to start the discussion of moving each element 
of Kolla out into separate projects. In particular I think this needs to 
happen with kolla-kubernetes but potentially the images also.

Each of these are areas that I've specifically heard from real world 
operators, and also I think are key to the future and overall health of 
the project. If you'd like to discuss any in more detail please give me 
a shout at any time.
