Project Update Project Update Denver Open Infrastructure Summit
Airship Overview Airship is a collection of loosely coupled, but interoperable, open source tools that declaratively automate cloud provisioning. Motivations Orchestration: Batteries included Singular Deployment Method Predictable Upgrades Repeatable Multi-site Deployments Resiliency Enterprise-Grade Security
1Q 2017 3 1 Airship initiated as upstream project 2Q 2018 2016 OpenStack- Added as a pilot 2 Helm Initiated project in Vancouver
1Q 2017 3 1 Airship initiated as upstream project 2Q 2018 2016 OpenStack- Added as a pilot 2 Helm Initiated project in Vancouver 2Q 2019 4 1.0 is Enterprise-Ready
Strategic Focus Airship 1.0 Enhancement Highlights Platform security enhancements Limit privileges: Linux capabilities, Pod and Network Security Policy, Audit logging and user context tracing Kubernetes security best practices Encryption: YAML manifests, etcd, TLS Platform, deployment and tooling Pegleg: cross-repo, encryption, Shipyard integration, PKI Armada workflow: wait and test management Initial multi-OS support Redfish OOB driver Rev d Kubernetes, Docker, Helm Resiliency Enhanced liveness / readiness probes Smoothed in-place upgrade of deployment components Advanced per-component resource-level waiting and error handling Added resiliency for MaaS services and networking
Strategic Focus Post 1.0 Technical Roadmap Leverage Kubernetes Cluster API Metal3/ Ironic integration KubeADM integration Containerized Network Function (CNF) support Multus integration Multi-tenancy Leverage cloud native workflow management (Argo or Tekton) Helm v3 and Armada Operator Cloud Harbor Service Layers Edge use cases YAML Management Improvement
Technical Best Practices Continuous Integration Began pushing results/logs for 3rd-party integration gates Additional linting and light integration gates in OpenStack-Infra Added daily 3rd-party integration of master Airship/OSH Put in place infra gates for bandit scanning at commit Documentation Added developer onboarding docs Expanded Treasuremap reference manifests and example setups Expanded documentation for components Added documentation for ops use cases, like disk setup, ceph, and secret generation
Governance/ Open Collaboration/ Active Engagement Becoming a mature project is not just about delivering features. All Time Metrics: 3,072 commits in 15 repos; 137 contributors from 17 companies Building the Community Draft governance model under review Weekly (or more) design meetings on WebEx Weekly Airship Community meetings on Zoom Increased participation and focus on the weekly IRC team meetings Airship session at PTG Moving toward top-level status in OpenDev Core reviewer team has grown to three companies Contributors increased from 47 in Rocky to 87 in Stein Upcoming PTG discussion: multiple Airship core reviewer teams Community Diversity
More than 20 Network Cloud regions deployed and managed by Airship to date, and 5G Core deployments inflight. Airship is becoming the foundation of SKT s cloud infrastructure deployment efforts. Aside from contributing to Airship upstream and collaborating with AT&T on key roadmap features, Mirantis is integrating much of the code into Mirantis Cloud Platform (MCP), Mirantis s core product that empowers telcos and enterprises to efficiently run Kubernetes on-premises. Airship Contributors One of the key things SUSE believes in is making open source easier for everyone, and our use of Airship intends to do just that. By using Airship to deliver a containerized OpenStack in 2020, we will make it easier for enterprises to deliver OpenStack, to build highly available environments, and to upgrade, manage and maintain those environments to ensure that your business critical applications are able to meet your business demands for speed and availability. "Ericsson is positive of an alignment between Airship and CNCF. We are increasing our upstream investments to the related opensource projects, and will work closely with AT&T and the Airship and CNCF communities to align and evolve capabilities in both communities.
Governance/ Open Collaboration/ Active Engagement To Do List 1. Formalize project governance 2. Implement a diverse steering committee 3. Graduation to top-level Open Infra project 4. Look for collaboration and integration opportunities with other communities as cloud native standards emerge
