#openstack-cyborg - 2017-08-23
15:08:12 zhipeng let me start with some info on the ptg first, then we circle back to the patches
15:08:25 zhipeng #topic Denver PTG prep
15:08:59 zhipeng guys plz check my previous email, we have a room booked for Wed and Thur morning
15:09:23 jkilpatr cool.
15:09:44 crushil That's awesome
15:10:13 zhipeng #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/cyborg-queens-ptg
15:10:14 zhuli cool
15:10:25 zhipeng plz provide your information re ptg on the etherpad
15:10:50 zhipeng the reason for a morning session is that for folks like zhuli to be more easier to join the meeting online
15:11:19 zhipeng so the format would be that, we will concentrate on the irc meeting. I will stay in our booked room
15:11:37 zhipeng and crushil and jkilpatr if you have other team meeting you guys could run around
15:11:44 zhipeng just keep the irc open :)
15:11:54 zhipeng this way we have the maximum flexbility
15:12:02 jkilpatr Not totally sure about the schedule but I think I'll be good.
15:12:04 zhuli zhipeng thanks for that for me
15:13:19 zhipeng another big thing is that I will do a presentation on Cyborg to OpenStack TC
15:13:51 zhipeng so you guys are welcomed to chime in :P
15:14:00 crushil Oh, that's awesome
15:14:11 jkilpatr nice, anything specific you know they will want to go over?
15:14:14 zhipeng not sure if it is on Monday or Tuesday tho
15:14:26 zhipeng they just want an update
15:14:54 zhipeng so it will be a pretty great opportunity for exposure
15:15:05 zhipeng before we officially apply for official project
15:15:23 crushil I would be timesharing with Ironic at the PTG, but should be available at those times
15:15:48 zhipeng cool :)
15:15:54 zhipeng another another big thing :P
15:16:10 zhipeng there folks from RedHat that is organizing interviews for project teams
15:16:27 zhipeng i fill out my name at the moment but the interview generally permits 2- 3 people
15:16:45 jkilpatr I'll see if I can make it.
15:16:45 zhipeng so if the interview will indeed happen I will grab you guys
15:16:49 zhipeng if you could make it
15:17:04 crushil cool
15:17:05 zhipeng gr8t :)
15:17:34 zhipeng Okey any question on PTG arrangment ?
15:17:57 jkilpatr how long until we get stickers?
15:18:00 jkilpatr #priorities
15:19:04 zhipeng haha what do you have in mind ?
15:19:33 zhipeng shall we poll for a mascot first ? lol
15:20:56 jkilpatr no idea!
15:22:20 zhipeng hahaha
15:22:26 zhipeng then I will come up with something
15:22:53 zhipeng shock and awe stickers
15:24:10 zhipeng #topic patch discussion
15:24:23 zhipeng okey back to (somewhat) serious topic
15:24:37 zhipeng #link https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open project:openstack/cyborg
15:25:12 zhipeng jkilpatr sir could you give us a brief introduction of the deploy patch ?
15:29:23 jkilpatr sure so it's just an ansible playbook that deploys the various components
15:29:55 jkilpatr to use make a hosts file with categories [controller] and [compute] and it will deploy the api and conductor onto the controller and the agent onto the computes
15:30:08 jkilpatr it also verifies that all the services are started, sets them to start at boot, templates systemd unit files etc
15:30:13 jkilpatr creates the cyborg user to run it under
15:30:45 jkilpatr oh you do have to run the playbook from it's place in the repo since it installs your current version of the repo, which is good for testing but probably bad for prod
15:31:24 zhipeng lol
15:31:32 zhipeng i was wondering about that
15:31:51 crushil Btw I was going to write a devstack plugin soon as soon as I get some time
15:32:05 crushil I have done it for other projects
15:32:34 jkilpatr well the great thing is that right now zhuli's commit places us on a sqllite database and such so there's no config required.
15:33:05 zhipeng i belive from zhuli's comment, it is pretty much pluggable right ?
15:33:10 crushil And one of my colleagues wrote a script to bring up kubernetes and openstack. I was going to make some changes to make it work for Cyborg and Ironic
15:33:11 zhipeng sqlite is by default
15:33:18 jkilpatr yeha but until we start scraping the cnofig devstack/tripleo are the same.
15:33:26 zhipeng crushil hey that's cool
15:33:26 jkilpatr config*
15:34:02 zhipeng #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/496787/
15:34:28 zhipeng #info starting piece for deployment of cyborg services and testing
15:34:36 crushil The link to the tool is here if y'all want to look at it https://review.openstack.org/#/c/487972/
15:34:55 zhipeng #info crushil mentions that he will help develop a devstack plugin that could make it work for Cyborg and Ironic
15:35:13 zhipeng #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/487972/
15:35:22 crushil devstack plugin already works for Ironic
15:35:55 crushil This is a tool to automate your kubernetes and openstack installation. Unlike devstack, this is a real installation not an emulated one
15:36:27 zhipeng so that will be a containerized cyborg deployment on baremetal via kubernetes ?
15:37:37 crushil Exactly
15:37:48 crushil The cyborg will reside in a pod
15:38:24 zhipeng could we then provide service to another pod ? :P
15:38:29 crushil technically I have only tested it for AIO, but it should work on multiple baremetal machines
15:38:46 crushil What do you mean?
15:39:18 crushil cyborg-api and cyborg-conductor would both reside in separate pods on the same baremetal node in the AIO installation
15:39:30 zhipeng understood
15:39:47 zhipeng crushil keep us updated
15:40:37 crushil will do
15:41:04 crushil I'm planning to work on this once my customer engagements are over
15:41:13 zhipeng cool man
15:41:35 zhipeng I might have another of my team member start developing SPDK driver for Cyborg
15:43:03 zhipeng so basically the usecase is something like if user uses Ceph as the Cinder backend but would like to have SPDK for userspace acceleration
15:43:42 zhipeng the user could use Cyborg to automatically setup/config/deploy SPDK
15:44:12 crushil I have a suggestion
15:44:21 crushil Let's put up a wiki page or etherpad
15:44:36 crushil Where we put all of our future work items there
15:44:49 zhipeng crushil that would be great
15:45:14 zhipeng #action zhipeng to setup an etherpad for future work item
15:45:18 crushil We can do it like a sprint and maintain all our work items currency by changing them from To Do to In Progress to Done
15:45:36 zhipeng shall we have a trello board for that ?
15:45:42 crushil Done should translate to a patch being upstream
15:45:43 crushil Sure
15:45:50 crushil Whatever tool you want to use
15:45:53 zhipeng cool
15:46:33 zhipeng okey any other topics we want to cover for development ?
15:47:47 crushil Nope
15:47:59 crushil zhipeng, Are you still going to be at the summit
15:48:24 zhipeng yes I suppose to
15:49:17 zhipeng If we could apply for official project before Sydney, then we could do project update at the Forum session I think
