I still have a blueprint in mind, that i'll want to propose to nova, and it'll be accepted as a specless blueprint 13:13:28 <sagar_nikam> as far is can remember, this is the only patch required to support FC. Am i right ? 13:13:42 <claudiub> it is about creating hyper-v instances with nested virtualization enabled 13:13:51 <claudiub> sagar_nikam: that is correct. :) 13:14:30 <sagar_nikam> ok... lets hope it gets merged in this release. it is long pending BP, I guess 3 releases back we started it 13:14:55 <claudiub> well, from experience, 3 releases isn't that long. :) 13:15:29 <claudiub> but we don't have a lot of remaining patches remaining, so I'd say that there's a good chance it'll merge in ocata 13:15:44 <claudiub> also, I'd like to mention that ocata is a veeery short cycle 13:16:14 <claudiub> the 1st milestone is next week already 13:16:21 <claudiub> and the release in february 2017 13:16:54 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:17:23 <claudiub> which means, that pretty much all we have submitted, will have to get in by the 2nd milestone 13:17:34 <claudiub> which is in 16 dec. 13:18:09 <claudiub> moving on 13:18:18 <claudiub> #topic monasca status 13:18:31 <claudiub> so, a couple of patches merged already 13:18:39 <claudiub> monasca-agent can now start on windows. :) 13:18:50 <sagar_nikam> wow !!! nice 13:18:56 <claudiub> but there are still plenty of patches remaining 13:19:47 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:19:48 <claudiub> other than that, not many other news 13:19:56 <claudiub> I've met Roland at the summit :) 13:20:08 <sagar_nikam> ok. was about to ask that 13:20:20 <sagar_nikam> how are his plans for merging the code 13:20:24 <claudiub> yeah. apparently they're testing the monasca patches on windows 13:20:43 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:21:03 <sagar_nikam> and what about monasca-log ? 13:21:25 <sagar_nikam> still lower priority ? 13:21:27 <claudiub> Andrea Adams is the one that is testing those patches, and he basically relies on his / her +1 to merge them 13:21:50 <claudiub> i'm afraid so 13:22:04 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:22:19 <claudiub> there are too many things we want to do this cycle 13:22:34 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:22:50 <claudiub> is there anyone from your team willing to help with monasca-log on windows, perhaps? 13:22:53 <sagar_nikam> what happened to the freerdp issue we had raised ? 13:23:39 <sagar_nikam> claudiub: let me check 13:24:56 <claudiub> we'll talk about freerdp in the open discussion topic :) 13:25:01 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:25:13 <claudiub> so, anything else on this topic? 13:26:56 <sagar_nikam> no 13:27:05 <claudiub> ok 13:27:13 <claudiub> #topic Ocata plans 13:27:55 <claudiub> soo, other than merging the already proposed blueprints / features in nova / monasca, we have a couple of plans for this short cycle 13:28:31 <claudiub> as far as features go, we've talked with the trove guys about adding support for Windows SQL Server in trove 13:29:01 <claudiub> it'll take some time to implement it fully, as the driver interface is quite extensive 13:29:25 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:29:30 <claudiub> and the trove agent will have to work first on Windows, since it has quite a few Linux-specific bits in its code 13:29:41 <sagar_nikam> not tried trove... dont know much about it 13:29:55 <claudiub> it's basically database as a service 13:30:06 <sagar_nikam> yes i know 13:32:01 <claudiub> secondly, we'd like to add some tempest tests for all sorts of hyper-v features that we've added during the years 13:32:43 <claudiub> like remotefx, shielded vms, secure boot, etc. 13:33:00 <claudiub> and future features 13:33:27 <claudiub> thirdly, we still want to increase the hyper-v driver's performance. :) 13:34:35 <claudiub> and of course, windows containers 13:34:52 <sagar_nikam> ok... can you elaborate on how the perf will be improved 13:35:25 <sagar_nikam> on containers ... did you see this ? 13:35:26 <sagar_nikam> http://blog.kubernetes.io/2016/11/bringing-kubernetes-support-to-azure.html?m=1&utm_content=buffer0fa30&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_campaign=buffer 13:35:46 <sagar_nikam> kubernetus support in azure 13:36:39 <claudiub> well, my plan is to add os-win objects. at the moment, when we're creating a hyper-v instance, we basically query the same hyper-v WMI VM object multiple times (modify memory, cpu count, add drives, add nics, etc.). with this, all those extra queries can be avoided. 13:37:04 <sagar_nikam> ok nice 13:37:17 <claudiub> no, i haven't seen it yet. i see that it was posted 2 days ago 13:37:57 <claudiub> anything else on this topic? 13:38:47 <claudiub> moving on 13:38:52 <claudiub> #topic open discussion 13:39:10 <claudiub> first of all, sagar_nikam, do you have a link to that freerdp issue? 13:39:26 <sagar_nikam> let me check 13:39:44 <claudiub> also, I might not know the answer, and cosmin, the freerdp guy, is currently on vacation 13:39:55 <claudiub> but i'll ask him when he's available 13:40:50 <claudiub> secondly, any news from your side, sagar_nikam? 13:40:54 <sagar_nikam> https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP-WebConnect/issues/149 13:41:05 <sagar_nikam> ok no issues 13:41:56 <claudiub> sagar_nikam: yeah, I'll have to ask cosmin :) 13:42:49 <claudiub> another nice thing that we're looking forward to this cycle would be the nova resource providers work being done, or at least almost done 13:43:08 <claudiub> especially the storage providers part 13:43:27 <claudiub> which will help with the compute node's shared storage scenario 13:43:40 <sagar_nikam> ok 13:44:02 <claudiub> they say that it'll be done in about a month.. so, curious about it :) 13:44:51 <claudiub> sagar_nikam: anything else you wish to discuss? 13:45:12 <sagar_nikam> no.. nothing much from my side 13:45:48 <claudiub> ok, well, I think we can end this meeting then. :) 13:46:12 <claudiub> thanks for joining, see you next week! 13:46:14 <sagar_nikam> sure 13:46:33 <claudiub> #endmeeting
