Meetings/HATeamMeeting

= High Availability meeting =

Stakeholders in High Availability within the OpenStack Project hold public weekly meetings. Everyone interested in high availability is encouraged to attend.

You can add agenda items simply by mentioning them at the beginning of the meeting.

Agenda for next meeting
We don't usually plan a fixed agenda in advance, instead spontaneously choosing topics as they seem most relevant from week to week. However currently there is a strong focus on the HA VMs user story, and so meeting agendas often look like this:
 * Actions from last meeting
 * Quick status report from everyone - this is voluntary ;-)
 * Topics relating to HA VMs
 * Any Other Business (AOB)

Background reading
The following resources should help you understand the topics under discussion:


 * OpenStack High Availability Guide - currently only covers HA for the control plane not for hypervisors, but important knowledge nevertheless
 * http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/openstack-user-stories/user-stories/proposed/ha_vm.html
 * YouTube video of David Vossel's excellent Vancouver talk covering hypervisor HA - great introduction to the architecture, although a lot has happened since then
 * https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/automatic-evacuation - the original etherpad on this topic
 * http://etherpad.openstack.org/p/newton-instance-ha - results of various meetings in and since the ATX design summit.

Previous meetings
Previous meetings, with their notes and logs, will be found at http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/ha/ but the logs from the first meeting are available here instead (sorry about that - I'm still learning how to use Meetbot properly ...)

Advice for meeting chair

 * Read and understand https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/CreateaMeeting#How_to_chair_a_meeting
 * Ask each person responsible for an action from the previous meeting to prepare a short summary of any work they did for that action item.
 * For example, if I previously took an action to achieve world peace and harmony, I could give my report by typing a one-line summary like this:
 * #info aspiers submitted a patch for review which achieves world peace https://review.openstack.org/#/c/12345678/
 * Record decisions and commitments; review in the next meeting
 * Create the next agenda and update this wiki page accordingly
