stx.4.0
- CentOS Upgrade (update from Bruce based on F2F)
- Getting close on 4.18 kernel
- Will likely stop after that. Decided not to attempt to do user-space piecemeal. Dependencies are still missing and RH schedule in unknown.
- Ceph (update from Bruce based on F2F)
- Add containerized ceph to starlingx (this will be the same version as the platform ceph), but keep the platform ceph in there as well
- Will work on a procedure to migrate the ceph data from the platform ceph to the containerized ceph
- This will require downtime during the upgrade
- Remove the platform ceph in stx.5.0
- BlueStore (update from Bruce)
- Bluestore is a new filesystem backend for ceph which is optimized for SSD access and provides a significant performance improvement
- Decided to take this out of stx.4.0 to reduce risk
- Feature Planning
