Zun is pronounced a lot like Xen. Just sayin' ;) 03:05:50 In this case, I am still OK to rename it to "Zun" if you like 03:06:02 That would be great 03:06:07 hongbin: should we vote? 03:06:16 sure, want to vote? 03:06:17 +1 for renaming :) 03:06:20 I think we should keep it higgins then 03:06:32 Ok vote 03:06:37 lots of codes are hard coded as higgins 03:06:51 we'd better to change the name as early as long 03:06:52 eliqiao: then it's good time to fix it :) 03:07:05 #vote Project name? higgins, zun 03:07:06 yeah, I agree, the earlier the better. 03:07:24 #startvote what is project name? Higgins, Zun 03:07:25 Begin voting on: what is project name? Valid vote options are Higgins, Zun. 03:07:26 Vote using '#vote OPTION'.

Results are 03:08:39 Zun (8): eliqiao, shu-mutou, Qiming, Namrata, flwang, haiwei_, yuanying_, yanyanhu 03:08:40 Higgins (6): Vivek__, mkrai, Wang__Jian, sudipto, fnaval_, adisky 03:08:46 ah sorry..I missed 03:08:55 btw, my vote is for higgins 03:09:08 Then, Zun still win 03:09:15 :) 03:09:16 Zun has 8 votes 03:09:18 hongbin: what's your vote? 03:09:23 Higgins has 7 votes 03:09:27 ^^ 03:09:30 mkrai: I am OK with both :) 03:09:42 to save a tie, its best option :) 03:09:43 +1 hongbin 03:09:47 Me too but I just wanted to avoid the renaming effort 03:10:00 Then, let't rename it to Zun 03:10:12 #agreed rename project name to Zun 03:10:25 #topic Drive consensus on project scope 03:10:26 hongbin: and i have already got the support from Monty and ttx for the name 03:10:34 right, if we are gonna rename it, then do it NOW 03:10:36 s/i/we 03:10:40 #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/container-management-service etherpad for collaborating on project requirements 03:10:54 #action hongbin submit a request to rename the project 03:11:07 1. Nova integration 03:11:11 I will do it for higginsclient 03:11:19 mkrai: thx 03:11:45 Is there any bp for this now? 03:11:47 OK, then let's back to the project scope discussion 03:11:56 #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/python-higgins/+spec/nova-integration 03:12:17 We discussed the idea in the last meeting 03:12:24 This is a continued discussion 03:12:27 the plan for nova integration is in 'Zun' side? 03:12:40 eliqiao: ?? 03:12:54 eliqiao: Like a Zun virt-driver for Nova 03:12:58 as for as I know, nova has reached spec freeze now. 03:13:14 eliqiao, yup 03:13:18 We don't have to get it into Nova tree 03:13:23 ya, so in Newton, we can not nothing in nova. 03:13:36 We can have the driver in our repo at the beginning 03:13:43 hmm. and nova team doesn't support out-of-tree virt-driver. 03:13:48 This can live in zun repo 03:13:56 eliqiao, I think it's ok to keep it in zun repo in current stage 03:13:58 yea 03:14:00 eliqiao: really? 03:14:08 eliqiao: ............ 03:14:09 ya, I will find a link 03:14:15 hongbin: yep, we can have a separate project temporarily for the driver 03:14:18 we may need to hack nove code. 03:14:30 ... 03:14:51 However, Nova should be designed to be pluggable 03:15:05 Agree hongbin 03:15:07 hongbin: +1 and we do port it in next release 03:15:15 that's not a big deal, IMHO 03:15:24 Yes 03:15:36 Everyone agree to have a Zun virt-driver for Nova? 03:15:44 Any opposing point of view? 03:15:47 +1 03:15:51 +1 03:16:01 +1 03:16:05 +1 03:16:08 +1 03:16:21 +1 03:16:30 +1 03:16:30 #agreed Nova integration is in the scope of project 03:16:38 +1 03:16:43 +1 03:16:44 OK. Next one 03:16:51 2. Neutron/Kuryr integration 03:17:25 +1 03:17:31 BTW, if anyone interest to work on Nova integration, we requires a spec 03:17:42 And here is the BP: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/python-higgins/+spec/nova-integration 03:18:11 I think we need a spec to clearify the design 03:18:31 OK. That is it for the Nova integration 03:18:46 I can help in that but wont be able to take sole ownership 03:18:52 i will also 03:19:34 i will give spec for nova integration along with sheel 03:19:45 adisky: thx 03:20:01 OK. Second item 03:20:07 :) 03:20:07 2. Neutron/Kuryr integration 03:20:12 sheel, adisky i can help with reviews :) 03:20:22 sudipto: great 03:20:23 thnx sudipto... 03:20:23 hongbin, +1 03:21:00 For neutron/kuryr integration, I think it is a must do 03:21:09 At least for neutron integration, it is a must 03:21:20 hongbin, agreed! 03:21:36 agreed 03:21:41 yes, definitely, otherwise, we can't call zun container service "in openstack" 03:22:03 OK, it seems everyone agree 03:22:07 We need expertise with networking for this 03:22:18 does kuryr have a clearly defined scope? 03:22:33 I am interested in it but not sure what it takes to work on Kuryr 03:22:37 is it only about networking or is it about storage too? 03:22:38 Qiming: ?? 03:22:55 Qiming: Kuryr will do both 03:22:59 Network and stokrage 03:23:02 storage 03:23:17 okay 03:23:44 #agreed Nuetron/Kuryr integration is in scope 03:24:03 For our side, we agreed to use Kuryr for networking 03:24:11 I am not sure the storage part 03:24:12 so Zun will integrate with kuryr for both network and storage? 03:24:31 We can discuss hte storage part 03:25:04 For me, I cannot tell how Kuryr is going to do the storage part 03:25:09 The code is not there at all 03:25:11 quick question, storage here only means something about "volume"? 03:25:39 yanyanhu: Yes, it means cinder volume for container data volume 03:25:46 I see 03:25:59 yanyanhu: I think yes... It seems related to Zun and cinder integratino 03:26:07 hongbin: right? 03:26:17 sheel: yes 03:26:19 hongbin: should volume part, it will be a driver of Zun? 03:26:42 eliqiao: not sure, maybe it can be a driver 03:27:08 eliqiao: however, Zun will be duplicated with Cinder if we want to implement a voume driver? 03:27:10 for now, we don't have any agent(maybe Kuryr) on the Host, how can we handle any driver functions 03:27:34 We need to implement a agent (like nova-compute) 03:27:39 IMO 03:27:44 hongbin: agreed 03:27:49 agreed 03:28:34 Everyone, Kuryr for storage? or pure Cinder for volume? 03:28:42 Or decide it later? 03:28:50 decide it later 03:28:56 pure cinder for volume 03:29:05 We need to look at Kuryr part also 03:29:09 that depends on the maturity of Kuryr I think 03:29:19 so I think we should decide later 03:29:23 yanyanhu: yes 03:29:24 decide later, 03:29:29 currently kuryr storage seems too far to be used 03:29:35 and IMHO, maybe cinder is a better start point 03:29:36 haiwei_: yes and cinder seems stable 03:29:38 not familiar with Kuryr, but Cinder is reliable 03:29:46 yanyanhu: +1 03:30:09 Then, we start with Cinder, and decide to switch to Kuryr later if it makes sense 03:30:26 +1 03:30:28 hongbin: seems right choice 03:30:30 hongbin: sounds like a plan 03:30:31 +1 03:30:34 +1 03:30:36 +1 03:30:47 +1 03:30:55 #agreed start with Cinder integration and revisit Kuryr later 03:30:55 +1 03:31:07 4. Glance integration 03:31:35 We discussed this in hte previous meeting 03:31:53 We can use Glance for storing container images 03:31:55 sorry i missed the last meeting but i find the support of docker fs in glance inadequate at the moment. I will talk to flwang and see if he agrees. 03:32:48 but unless we are looking at just storing the docker images ...it might be alright. 03:33:16 sudipto: Glance don't support other container images? 03:33:27 but i feel glance could be a meta-store of docker images, then storing the binaries again via "docker save" 03:33:34 hongbin: glance doesn't support layered images for now 03:33:43 hongbin, well it does...but only static .gz files. 03:33:47 bummer 03:33:59 sudipto: +1 03:34:27 flwang, I will chat with you about this, glare might be another option... 03:34:39 sudipto: cool 03:34:41 however, the support needs to be built up. 03:35:03 If we don't use glance/glare, any other options? 03:35:31 maybe hosting a private docker registry? 03:35:35 hongbin, i was thinking, if we don't have an in-band (openstack based) support for image repository - that may not help us in long term? (Considering release cycles etc) ? 03:35:49 * sudipto might be wrong 03:36:04 hongbin: though private docker registry works, but i don't think it's a good opion 03:36:15 sudipto: flwang ack 03:36:15 since it's a container mgmt service based on openstack 03:36:22 flwang, +2! 03:36:37 Agree flwang 03:36:37 if we don't use the services of openstack, then we don't have to keep this, right? 03:36:48 Agree flwang 03:36:52 yes 03:37:06 we can push changes in openstack/glance if we need something which don't exist for now 03:37:25 For glance, we can use it for docker, but the drawback is it doesn't support layer of images. right? 03:37:31 flwang: +1, cool 03:37:44 hongbin, yeah - very minimal support of the docker images too. 03:37:44 if we can figure out what we need for glance/glare, i can propose a spec and push it 03:37:51 flwang, +1 03:37:56 flwang: awesome 03:38:07 OK. Short term solution is using Glance for docker 03:38:22 Long term solution is to contribute to Glance/Glare to get everything we want 03:38:30 hongbin, ++ 03:38:32 Do I summary everything correct? 03:38:42 hongbin: good for me 03:38:48 +1 03:38:57 hongbin: would you mind creating a bp for glance integration? 03:39:04 so that we can use it to track the requirements 03:39:08 for glance/glare 03:39:14 #action hongbin create a bp for glance integration 03:39:15 and assign it to me 03:39:22 flwang: ack 03:39:28 hongbin: thanks 03:39:48 OK. Sounds we have a good discussion for image management 03:39:56 flwang, will tag team with you on that one! 03:40:08 cool 03:40:32 Next item 03:40:33 5. Keystone integration 03:40:39 This is a must 03:40:42 sudipto: ping me later :) 03:41:03 I guess everyone will agree on Keystone integration? 03:41:10 +1 03:41:13 Yes 03:41:15 If no, we aren't able to join the big tent 03:41:25 sure thing 03:41:30 I got a question, will different tenant's containers run on same Host? 03:41:31 #agreed Keystone integration is in scope 03:41:41 eliqiao: Good question 03:41:56 as we know, containers have bad isolation. 03:42:03 Same question eliqiao 03:42:13 eliqiao: i would like to have a param to say if i want a fully isolation 03:42:26 when boot the container 03:42:52 We need to implement similar concept as "namespaces" in k8s for isolation of containers 03:42:54 flwang: then, that tenant will oppuy a whole host 03:43:01 it's a little bit complicated than the VM case 03:43:26 eliqiao: yep, and the user need to pay more ;) 03:43:28 I don't like the idea of occupying whole host for a tenant 03:43:44 we have billing 03:43:54 Another option is to use the hypervisor-based container runtime 03:44:00 Like clear container, hyper 03:44:01 agree mkrai 03:44:18 we should be careful while choosing the option here - given clear containers/hyper might co-exist for different tenants on the same host. 03:45:04 IMO, we have a config for scheduler 03:45:19 hongbin: That is one container per vm 03:45:26 sudipto: Agree 03:45:55 We can let operator to config a scheduling policy 03:46:04 1. Tenent per host 03:46:16 2. Tenants share host 03:46:35 Operators should tune the config based on their requirements 03:46:56 hongbin, that sounds like a good optoion 03:47:00 multiTenant 03:47:05 Just a side note, I work on the Octavia project, and our use case emphasizes small container footprint over separation (since operators ought to be able to create service containers on hosts separate from standard tenants). So thank you for not insisting containers run only within a VM. 03:47:36 sbalukoff: haha .. 03:48:01 sbalukoff: ack 03:48:18 sbalukoff: I was thinking it running containers before.. 03:48:31 Any other comment for multi-tenancy? 03:48:54 6. TLS support 03:48:55 if you want a container, create a vm and that vm is fro that tenant, if vm's full of container, creat another one. 03:49:20 eliqiao: no that is not the case with hypercontainers 03:49:20 mkrai: could you elaborate the TLS support? 03:49:39 Yes sure 03:49:57 eliqiao: We specifically want to be able to run the containers on hosts, and not within a VM. 03:50:00 We would need TLS support for secure communication 03:50:05 eliqiao: For hyper, containers of different tenants will co-locate 03:50:25 sbalukoff: okay 03:50:31 But now I don't see any use case as we don't have any other services running outside openstack 03:50:45 hongbin: yes, I see. hyper and clear conatiner has better isolation. 03:51:32 mkrai: Personally, I couldn't find how TLS fit into Zun 03:51:43 mkrai: as we don't need to secure anything 03:51:47 As of now, me too 03:52:00 So we can leave it for now 03:52:02 OK, then let's skip the TLS for now 03:52:15 #topic Implement Higgins host agent 03:52:25 #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/325707/ The patch 03:52:30 #link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/python-higgins/+spec/higgins-host-agent The BP 03:53:08 Is it not good to let conductor do it? 03:53:38 What additional will host-agent do? 03:53:56 if we need that, we need to rename zun-conductor to zun-agent (or something else) 03:54:08 However, that is an option 03:54:25 hongbin: ^^ 03:54:28 Right now, nova has 1) api 2) conductor 3) compute 03:54:49 Zun can has #1, #2, #3 03:54:59 or Zun has #1 and #3 03:55:09 Which option is better? 03:55:32 conductor is helpful for upgrades too 03:56:03 sudipto: yes, I agreed, since conductor is the only place to access DB 03:56:09 It is better to follow nova design 03:56:12 I think its ok to use conductor for local operations than seperate agent.. 03:56:12 1 2 3 03:56:14 IMO, for better support for scheduler in the future, we should keep #1, #2, #3 03:56:43 then we can just borrow the design from nova API->Conductor->Scheduler->Compute 03:57:06 Wenzhi: ack 03:57:19 Everyone agree to have #1 #2 #3? 03:57:45 (might be a scheduler in future) 03:57:46 hongbin: I would like to work on scheduler part 03:57:55 mkrai: ack 03:57:57 So have assigned the bp to me 03:58:08 mkrai: I am willing to help 03:58:10 #topic Open Discussion 03:58:16 Thanks Wenzhi 03:58:39 we have only 2 more minutes.. 03:59:01 do we have any architecture diagram with us for now? 03:59:11 good question 03:59:17 Not yet 03:59:19 No, so far 03:59:27 Design is not yet finalized :) 03:59:34 However, it seems we agreed to borrow Nova architecture 03:59:37 I would need this for API design or I have to create one 03:59:55 hongbin: right, It seems we can follow Nova.. 04:00:08 OK. Time is up 04:00:16 Thanks everyone 04:00:17 All, thanks for joining hte meeting 04:00:19 #endmeeting
