Release Meeting Agenda/Notes - March 14/2019
Goals for the meeting:
- Ghada: Review the overall status of the release -- item-by-item as well as overall
- Acknowledge whether the current dates are achievable
- If not, work on a plan to revise the release dates
- Bruce: There are people waiting for this release. There is interest by one party to deploy StarlingX as an edge device.
- We need to set a high bar for ourselves
- We need to have a stable release with the required content
- Bill: What is the critical path? Which items need more attention and how can we bring focus to these items?
Current Dates
- MS-3: Apr 8-12 2019 / RC1: Apr 29-May 3 2019 / Release: May 20-24 2019
- Countdown to MS-3 is 4wks
Green -- On Track / Non-Blocking Items
- CVE Upgrades
- CentOS upgrade to 7.6
- Kernel and user-space packages have merged as of March 11
- ovs-dpdk upversion is in progress: some issues to work through, but we feel this can make it
- Python3 Readiness
- Prep. Not gating the StarlingX release schedule.
- Integrate Containerized OVS
- On track; this should be ready before the current MS-3
- Non-Openstack Patch Backlog Reduction
- Best effort; does not gate the StarlingX release schedule
- Openstack Rebase
- Most components have been rebased.
- Final item is to complete the rebase of horizon, keystone, Barbican on the host. Fcst: March 30
- Green for milestone-3
- DevStack Enablement
- Not gating the StarlingX release schedule
- OVS-DPDK Enhancements
- Small enhancements; this should be ready before the current MS-3
Yellow -- Watch List
- Documentation
- 35 stories in play. Not fully staffed currently. Need more community help to land this.
- Still working more detailed plans.
- On watch to determine what is the minimal set required for the release (need to focus on resourcing those items) and what can come after
- Anisble bootstrap Deployment
- Preliminary code is available, but facing issues in testing.
- Status is yellow relative to the current MS-3
- Anchor feature
- Ceph Upgrade
- Need an update from Cindy, but it feels like this is about 1wk past the current forecast (Apr 5), so pushes against the current MS-3 date.
Red -- Won't Make the current dates
- Containers
- Anchor Feature -- holds up the release
- 28 stories still open
- Frank currently working story-by-story on a new forecast
- Action: Frank - Plan to have a new plan/forecast by March 22
- Distributed Cloud
- Anchor Feature -- holds up the release
- Direct dependency on containers. Got impacted by a late start due to the containers cut-over.
- With the containers cut-over done, we now are able to make progress. Dependency is finish-to-finish now.
- Action: Dariush - Plan to have a new plan/forecast by March 22
- Distro Openstack Patch Elimination
- Anchor Feature -- holds up the release
- Policy is to upstream to train first, then backport to StarlingX
- Still need to work out timing/plan in terms of reviews being posted and stable
- Need to decide the key items the StarlingX release should be gated on
- Action: Bruce to figure out plan proposal
- Not confident we can have a full plan by next week, but will work towards a clearer view - especially around the gating items
Test Readiness
- Test Case Definition is on track
- Feature Testing (Execution)
- Action: Ada/Numan to update each feature on the release plan with the "Feature Tested" date.
- For Features where are the dates are being re-worked, wait until next week when a new date is available
- Regression Testing (Execution)
- Original plan has release regression starting next week
- However, with the shift in a number of key features, this plan needs to be re-examined
- Options: (1) Delay regression start. (2) Start reduced regression now, but plan another regression cycle when anchor features are ready.
Bug Resolution
- Review in next meeting
- Need to make sure the new dates provide adequate time for bug resolution.
Conclusion:
- Current MS-3 is highly unlikely >> knock-on effect to the subsequent release milestones as well
- Next week we will work on proposal for the new date based on revised plans for the above items
Regards,
Ghada
