Release Team Meeting - Dec 16 2020
stx.5.0
- Status for Milestone-2 - Dec 18
        - All current proposed specs are merged.
        - Current Feature Status
               - Feature List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JbOQELqXG_GDoP1jo6YoRDytpTkJEs89TVimzvrqc_A/edit#gid=1107209846 
               - Overall the status is acceptable with some highlighted risks:
                     - Ceph Rook - risk due to slow review cycle
                     - Fault Containerization - risk due to needing support for ceph-client and nfv 
        - Release Test Status
               - No concerns raised from the test team regarding the release test plans
               - Currently working on feature test plans
                     - Feature Testing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jro4ItdSobB0-fseK_4cOZJHhUyuh_eCBBsDOp_A5Pc/edit#gid=968103774 
               - Test Automation Deliverables: focusing on test automation in January before regression starts
               - Regression to start in early Feb
        - From Bill: New features/specs potentially being proposed for this release - working to assign primes so we can start working on the specs 
               - Intel Ice-Lake CPU Support
               - Intel Mt. Bryce eASIC / Pomona Lake Support
               - Intel Columbiaville NIC Support
               - Shared Single NIC Support
               - PTP Notification Enhancements
               - Nvidia T4 GPU Support
               - Note: Specs (if required) will be targeted for mid-Jan; don't expect all to require specs as some are mostly test activities. Code merge target close to the current MS-3 date w/ minor exceptions.
               - Reviewed with release team - no current concerns; features can proceed; release team will monitor status over the next few weeks to determine any potential risk to the overall stx.5.0 release

- OS Direction given CentOS8 announcement
        - StarlingX has about a year to implement an alternative as CentOS8 will be EOL on Dec 31/2021. CentOS7 will be EOL on Dec 31/2024.
        - Next step is to focus on discussing/evaluating the technical options
        - Note: Multi-OS work to date has shown that swapping out the OS is a challenging task
