Welcome to the Open Infrastructure Community Newsletter, a digest of the latest developments and activities across open infrastructure projects, events, and users!
Spotlight on… StarlingX https://t.e2ma.net/click/6etc4/e95czt/uhjdck: A Fully Featured Cloud for the Distributed Edge StarlingX https://t.e2ma.net/click/6etc4/e95czt/aakdck, a pilot project supported by the OpenStack Foundation (OSF) https://t.e2ma.net/click/6etc4/e95czt/q2kdck, provides an integrated open source platform optimized for edge computing and IoT use cases. StarlingX integrates well-known open source components—Ceph, Kubernetes, relevant OpenStack services among others—taking them to the next level to meet strict requirements like providing low latency and high bandwidth for applications with a small footprint on the infrastructure layer. The platform is designed to be scalable, and the community is continuously working on making it more flexible, reliable, and feature rich. The StarlingX community held its first contributor meetup https://t.e2ma.net/click/6etc4/e95czt/6uldck January 15-16 in Chandler, Arizona to discuss topics https://t.e2ma.net/click/6etc4/e95czt/mnmdck relevant to design, development and testing activities, onboarding, and processes.
At the StarlingX Contributor Meetup, attendees discussed a wide range of topics from release planning through documentation and testing to onboarding Earlier, the community had decided to switch to two project releases per year starting with the next release scheduled for May 2019, based on OpenStack Stein. Subsequent StarlingX software releases will align with the OpenStack release cadence. At the meetup, the community discussed the status of items on the release roadmap https://t.e2ma.net/click/6etc4/e95czt/2fndck to agree on an execution plan and priorities. Discussion points included the status of items the community is working on to contribute to upstream projects such as OpenStack Nova and Neutron. Additional topics included items that can stretch to multiple releases including containerization of control plane services, multi-operating system (multi-OS) support and further support for mixed workloads including VMs, containers, and bare metal. StarlingX is supported by a growing community, and the members are prioritizing onboarding and documentation https://t.e2ma.net/click/6etc4/e95czt/i8ndck to help users and new contributors try out the software and get involved. The community is currently working on a hands-on workshop to guide attendees through the installation process and show a few software features. The next Technical Steering Committee (TSC) election will occur in the second quarter of this year. Five seats will be available—if you are interested in serving on the TSC, get involved in the community and make sure your name is recognized.
