AT&T Representation on the OpenStack Board and a Farewell
by FORD, TOBY 18 Mar '17

18 Mar '17

Board Members and Foundation Staff, I will be leaving AT&T on the 21st of March. I have a unique opportunity to join a startup in the Annapolis area, an opportunity that is impossible to pass up. Kandan Kathirvel will be taking my spot as the AT&T Board of Directors appointee. I've copied Kandan here. Kandan has been working for me as architect for the AT&T Integrated Cloud (AIC) and will be a helpful liaison to all our various implementations of OpenStack. Working with you all and the OpenStack community over the last almost 7 years.. has been a tremendously rewarding experience for me, especially given the context of OpenStack’s unprecedented growth and evolution .. since that time in 2010 when Jim Curry invited me to the first summit in Austin & also given the unprecedented context of SDN, NFV, Open Source and Domain 2.0 transformations at AT&T and in the Telco industry generally. I thank you for all your hard work, support, friendship and collaboration over my time on the board. Toby

Farewell
by Evans, Eileen 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Dear Board Directors and the OpenStack Foundation Staff, I wanted to say that it has been an absolute pleasure working with each of you on the Board over the years ... and even before that, as we were working together to set up the OpenStack Foundation. I learned a tremendous amount from the experience and am extremely grateful to have been part of the OpenStack community. I wish each of you the best, and I hope that our paths cross again soon. Best, Eileen

User Survey update
by Heidi Joy Tretheway 28 Feb '17

28 Feb '17

So far, we have nearly 1,400 surveys and more than 550 deployments—that’s 40% more than our largest survey ever! As promised, we shared the PTL-submitted questions data that came in by Feb. 20 with PTLs prior to the Project Teams Gathering in Atlanta, to inform their conversations. We also extended the survey open period to ensure the largest possible community participation, and it closes tonight. I’m excited to dig into the data with the User Survey working group. Many thanks to this team for QA testing before the survey was released, and for the upcoming tasks of comment analysis, data analysis and report draft review. The team includes: Melvin Hillsman - User Committee Edgar Magana - User Committee Shamail Tahir - User Committee Shilla Saebi - User Committee Jonathan Proulx - User Committee Arkady Kanevsky Megan Rossetti Tim Bell Mark Smith Kenny Johnston Dave Van Everen Rob Healy Kostiantyn Volenbovskyi Yanlu（颜露） If you’d like to be part of the User Survey analysis team, join us here: https://goo.gl/forms/F0c1a9NOR1zK7sUJ3 <https://goo.gl/forms/F0c1a9NOR1zK7sUJ3> Thanks to all of you who answered the User Survey and prompted your customers and colleagues to do so as well. We look forward to sharing the results with you in April!

OpenStack Ocata launches tomorrow—key features & resources for you
by Heidi Joy Tretheway 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Dear Board, Gold Sponsors and Marketing Community, OpenStack Ocata will be released tomorrow, Feb. 22, with a focus on manageability and scalability of the core infrastructure services, as well as improved container integration. With this, OpenStack provides unique value as an integration engine for containers, VMs and bare metal on a single network. The 15th release of OpenStack was a shorter, stabilization cycle (four months vs. six months) as we adjust to the new PTG/Forum model. You can dig deeper into OpenStack Ocata’s features in the press release <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s5x1j1Cr6Ceze2ErXAVFhZx2cdF1mtpUQYhxR50…>, which will hit the wire Feb. 22 at 10 a.m. CT, or by viewing the marketing preview presentation <https://zoom.us/recording/play/YuDmw5R49ospsHtem7Y9vgN8M2Pvyyfq0-lnpjcDFB_i…>, or downloading the slides <https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n1lt09xay7n6v4/OpenStackOcata2017.pptx?dl=0>. A key trend we highlighted in press and analyst briefings for the Ocata release was cost savings for OpenStack private cloud users, especially as we saw Snap Inc.’s IPO filing highlight the cost of GCE & AWS public cloud at scale. OpenStack users are becoming more sophisticated in allocating workloads across public and private clouds to take advantage of cost savings, performance gains and compliance. In fact, 72% of OpenStack users cite cost savings as their number one business driver, according to the latest User Survey. We’re also seeing a trend around managed services and specifically remotely managed private clouds, meaning enterprises do not need to employ large technical teams to run an OpenStack environment. Two examples of OpenStack users experiencing cost savings are Snapdeal <http://www.financialexpress.com/industry/snapdeals-hybrid-cloud-snapdeal-re…> and Pubmatic <http://www.computerworlduk.com/cloud-computing/pubmatic-cloud-chief-on-his-…>. In briefings, we fielded many questions about OpenStack's support for container-based application frameworks and deployment tools. Container projects Kolla (containerized OpenStack services), Kuryr (bridging container networking and storage with OpenStack) and Zun (container management) saw the most contributor growth during the Ocata release cycle. Additionally: Magnum now supports DC/OS as a cluster type and Kubernetes support now includes the new SUSE distribution Kolla support for Kubernetes at the control plane Kuryr container networking service now supports Docker Swarm The new Fuxi (“FOO-si”) subproject of Kuryr connects Cinder and Manila storage to container environments Many thanks to the 1,925 developers representing 265 organizations who contributed to the Ocata release.
