1.9/K8s/Docs

 

@Som Sikdar 

Aug 28 Updates

  • Som, Is 1.9 K8s compatible?

    • Orchestrator is deployable, has helm charts

    • AGW are deployable with caveats, unsure on helm charts

    • Compatible is a bit "fluffy"

    • Right now, using K8s is a project and not easy, using eBPF would be easy

  • Should we wait for eBPF?

  • Jordan, two independent things, 1.9 and K8s can be done in parallel, my view make easy to deploy in K8s as soon as possible

  • Lucas, does above include AGW? Jordan, yes.

  • Jordan, Starter kit, will use docker-compose, we could also have on K8s

  • Jordan, 1.8 is fully docker-compose for everything

  • Som, what should the priority be for K8s compatibility long term?

    • Jordan, if we achieve easy K8s deployment, big win

    • Lucas, is there a higher strategic goal than 1.9 and K8s?

    • Jordan, k8's is becoming primary way of orchestration, if we do not have full compliance/easy deployment of full magma suite we will be lagging behind everyone else. Should be a goal to have this as soon as possible

  • Lucas, do we hold on 1.9 for K8s support?

  • Jordan, they can be de-coupled, they are fully independent

  • Decision, creating separate stream for K8s support, workgroup potentially led by Jim and Jordan. Jim & Jordan will meet to discuss what this means prior to a formal commitment.

Updates on Release 1.9

  • #15164: td-agent version pinning

  • #15217: NMS yarn test (unit test) failing

  • #15222: Summarizing the current state of CI Issues.

  • Discuss DevOps workflows for patch-level semvers if we move from 1.9 to 1.9.0 label. Can we have smaller + more frequent releases?

@Yogesh Pandey / @Tapas Mishra

Aug 28 Updates

Aug 28 Updates

  • Action items:

    1. (Som) write up the townhall planner in the proposed format
      -- Outreach group proposes to TSC that the August townhall be postponed to September 
      -- This will allow more participation
      -- We plan to talk about the Magma Starter kit and at least one user story from Wavelabs


    2. (Som) Create a one-pager for items that will be a 'Magma Community Edition' starter kit
      -- MagmaCommunityEdition - Starter Kit Overview - Google Docs
      -- TSC, should we consider renaming v 1.9 to MCE 1.0? (Magma Community Edition v 1.0)
      -- Pano - marketing support for previous releases? There were blog posts for 1.8, 1.7., 2.0 would deserve a press release and blog post. Som - starter kit would deserve a webinar, Pano - better to coincide with major version release. 1.9 blog update, 2.0 larger release (blog, pr, technical brief, webinar). Som 2.0 1-1.5 years away
      -- Som - starter kit is an important piece that will help community adoption.
      -- Aim to acheive consensus next week. 

    3. (Som) check with LFC team for availability and support for the Townhall on 8/29
      -- LFC team was available for 8/29. Shall check for Sept availability
