Hi everyone, I know we have sent out quite a bit of information over the past few days with the OpenStack Summit and other updates recently. Additionally there are plenty of meetings we all attend. I just want to take time to point to something very significant in my opinion and again give big thanks to Chris, Dims, Liusheng, Chenrui, Zhuli, Joe (gophercloud), and anyone else contributing to OpenLab. A member of the release team working on the testing infrastructure for Kubernetes did a shoutout to the team for the following: (AishSundar) Shoutout to @dims and OpenStack team for quickly getting their 1.11 Conformance results piped to CI runs and contributing results to Conformance dashboard ! https://k8s-testgrid.appspot.com/sig-release-1.11-all#Conformance%20-%20OpenStack&show-stale-tests= Here is why this is significant and those working on this who I previously mentioned should get recognition: (hogepodge) OpenStack and GCE are the first two clouds that will release block on conformance testing failures. Thanks @dims for building out the test pipeline and @mrhillsman for leading the OpenLab efforts that are reporting back to the test grid. @RuiChen for his contributions to the testing effort. Amazing work for the last six months. In other words, if the external cloud provider ci conformance tests we do in OpenLab are not passing, it will be one of the signals used for blocking the release. OpenStack and GCE are the first two clouds to achieve this and it is a significant accomplishment for the OpenLab team and the OpenStack community overall regarding our relationship with the Kubernetes community. Thanks again Chris, Dims, Joe, Liusheng, Chenrui, and Zhuli for the work you have done and continue to do in this space. Personally I hope we take a moment to really consider this milestone and work to ensure OpenLab's continued success as we embark on working on other integrations. We started OpenLab hoping we could make substantial impact specifically for the ecosystem that builds on top of OpenStack and this is evidence we can and should do more. -- Kind regards, Melvin Hillsman mrhillsman@gmail.com mobile: (832) 264-2646
