After releasing RDO Mitaka, we migrated our current packaging workflow from gerrithub to a brand-new platform hosted at https://review.rdoproject.org right before the Newton Summit. During the last cycle, we’ve worked with Software Factory folks to build a new packaging workflow based on the very same foundations as upstream OpenStack (using gerrit, zuul, nodepool). We’re now relying on RPMFactory which is… Read more →
Before releasing Mitaka, we agreed on a tecnical definition of done1. This can always evolve to add more coverage, but this is what we currently test when deciding whether a release is ready from a technical perspective: Packstack all-in-one deployments testing the 3 upstream scenarios TripleO single contoller and single compute deployment validated with Tempest smoke tests TripleO three controller… Read more →

2 years ago we started the CentOS Cloud SIG. Progress has been slow but steady. Slow, I think, because we’ve not done a wonderful job of explaining what it’s for, and why it matters. But it has been a very important aspect of moving the RDO project forward, so it deserves better explanation. The Cloud SIG produces packages which allow… Read more →
