TASK: Verify Need And Accuracy Of OpenStack Workload

by ADMIN 53 views

Introduction

The ELN (Enterprise Linux Next) SIG (Special Interest Group) is currently carrying an OpenStack workload that is designed to track RPMs for future RHOS (Red Hat OpenStack) offerings. However, with the migration of RHOS to a container-based architecture, it is essential to verify if this workload is still needed and if so, to get it updated. This task aims to investigate the necessity and accuracy of the OpenStack workload in the ELN Extras repository.

Background

OpenStack is an open-source cloud operating system that provides a scalable and flexible infrastructure for deploying and managing cloud services. RHOS is a commercial distribution of OpenStack that is designed to provide a stable and secure cloud infrastructure for enterprise customers. The ELN Extras repository is a collection of packages that are not included in the main Enterprise Linux distribution, but are still useful for certain use cases.

Current State of OpenStack Workload

The current OpenStack workload in the ELN Extras repository is designed to track RPMs that are required for future RHOS offerings. However, with the migration of RHOS to a container-based architecture, it is unclear if this workload is still necessary. The container-based architecture of RHOS means that the traditional RPM-based packaging approach may not be suitable for this distribution.

Objectives

The objectives of this task are to:

  1. Verify the need for the OpenStack workload: Determine if the OpenStack workload is still necessary for future RHOS offerings.
  2. Update the OpenStack workload: If the workload is still needed, update it to reflect the changes in the RHOS architecture.
  3. Consider a separate view for the OpenStack workload: Since EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) would not be the target for this workload, consider creating a separate view for it.

Methodology

To achieve the objectives of this task, the following steps will be taken:

  1. Review the current OpenStack workload: Review the current OpenStack workload in the ELN Extras repository to understand its purpose and functionality.
  2. Consult with RHOS developers: Consult with RHOS developers to understand the changes in the RHOS architecture and how they impact the OpenStack workload.
  3. Determine the need for the OpenStack workload: Based on the review and consultation, determine if the OpenStack workload is still necessary for future RHOS offerings.
  4. Update the OpenStack workload: If the workload is still needed, update it to reflect the changes in the RHOS architecture.
  5. Consider a separate view for the OpenStack workload: Consider creating a separate view for the OpenStack workload, taking into account the differences between EPEL and the target audience for this workload.

Benefits

The benefits of this task are:

  1. Improved accuracy: The OpenStack workload will be updated to reflect the changes in the RHOS architecture, ensuring that it is accurate and relevant.
  2. Reduced maintenance: By creating a separate view for the OpenStack workload, maintenance and updates will be easier and more efficient.
  3. Better alignment with RHOS architecture: The OpenStack workload will be aligned with the RHOS architecture, ensuring that it is compatible and functional.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the OpenStack workload in the ELN Extras repository needs to be verified for its need and accuracy. This task aims to investigate the necessity and accuracy of the OpenStack workload and update it to reflect the changes in the RHOS architecture. By achieving the objectives of this task, the ELN Extras repository will be improved, and the OpenStack workload will be more accurate and relevant.

Recommendations

Based on the findings of this task, the following recommendations are made:

  1. Update the OpenStack workload: Update the OpenStack workload to reflect the changes in the RHOS architecture.
  2. Consider a separate view for the OpenStack workload: Consider creating a separate view for the OpenStack workload, taking into account the differences between EPEL and the target audience for this workload.
  3. Monitor and maintain the OpenStack workload: Monitor and maintain the OpenStack workload to ensure that it remains accurate and relevant.

Future Work

Future work on this task may include:

  1. Continuously monitoring the OpenStack workload: Continuously monitor the OpenStack workload to ensure that it remains accurate and relevant.
  2. Updating the OpenStack workload: Update the OpenStack workload as needed to reflect changes in the RHOS architecture.
  3. Expanding the OpenStack workload: Expand the OpenStack workload to include additional features and functionality.

Timeline

The timeline for this task is as follows:

  1. Week 1-2: Review the current OpenStack workload and consult with RHOS developers.
  2. Week 3-4: Determine the need for the OpenStack workload and update it to reflect the changes in the RHOS architecture.
  3. Week 5-6: Consider creating a separate view for the OpenStack workload and monitor and maintain the OpenStack workload.

Resources

The resources required for this task are:

  1. ELN Extras repository: The ELN Extras repository will be used to review and update the OpenStack workload.
  2. RHOS developers: RHOS developers will be consulted to understand the changes in the RHOS architecture and how they impact the OpenStack workload.
  3. Containerization tools: Containerization tools will be used to update the OpenStack workload to reflect the changes in the RHOS architecture.
