StarlingX

Revision as of 16:36, 21 August 2018 by Abraham.arce.moreno (talk | contribs) (Documentation)

Welcome to the StarlingX Project

StarlingX is a fully featured and high performance Edge Cloud software stack that is based on the Wind River® Titanium Cloud R5 product. Intel and Wind River have jointly open sourced this software and we invite you to download, build, install, and run it.

Wind River Titanium Cloud was originally built on open source components, that were then extended and hardened to meet critical infrastructure requirements, including: high availability, fault management, and performance management. This software provides numerous features and capabilities to enable 24/7 operation of mission critical applications.

You can find an overview of the StarlingX project's features <insert link here>.

The StarlingX project opens all of these enhancements to the open source community. Please join us as we build the infrastructure stack for Edge Computing.


Documentation

These three documents will help get you started building, installing, and validating your installation of StarlingX:

Code

The StarlingX project uses Gerrit as its web-based code change management and review tool.

Story and Bug Tracking

We are using the OpenStack Storyboard tool for tracking feature development activities. Each new Story shall be marked with one or more Tags, and can optionally include one or more Prefixes in the description. See Tags and Prefixes for a description of how we use them.

We are using Launchpad for tracking bugs. Link to the StarlingX Launchpad

IMPORTANT: If you create a new Story (of any kind), please mark it with the tag "stx.new" so we can find it, review it and assign it to the right team and a release.

The StarlingX Storyboard project group is here.

Sample queries:

  • To find the newly created stories use: this query
  • To find all of the active bugs use: this query
  • To find all of the active bugs assigned to the stx.2018.08 release use this query
  • To find all of the active bugs assigned to the stx.2018.11 release use this query

Queries for the Sub-projects will be defined on each Sub-project's page

You can also use Prefixes to search for Stories but we consider Prefixes optional so these searches might not show the same results as searching for Tags.

  • Sample Prefix queries:
    • To find all Stories with the [Features] prefix use: this query
    • To find all Stories with the [Bug] prefix use: this query

OpenStack Documentation

These are references to general OpenStack material:

Governance

A very preliminary Governance document can be found here. It contains lot of feedback from various reviewers of the early drafts.

A more polished version of the same document can be found on this page.

Culture

We are proud to be an OpenStack Foundation project!

Meetings

Weekly calls

  • We host a weekly call for the project every Wednesday at 7am PDT / 1400 UTC. All are welcome.
  • We also host a Core team call every Thursday at 7AM PDT / 1400 UTC. This is for the Core team but other project participants are welcome to join.

Call details

Agenda and meeting minutes

The agenda and notes for each call are kept in Etherpads:

Please feel free to add items to the agendas for these meetings.

PTG Meetings

We are preparing for the Denver OpenStack PTG meeting. Draft agenda items can be found here:

Status and Planning

This section is under construction.

Overall project planning pages

StarlingX Projects

StarlingX is both a development project and an integration project that combines new services with many other open source projects into an overall Edge Cloud software stack. We've broken the overall project into a set of separate projects to help keep things manageable. Notes from the F2F discussion on how to organize sub-teams are here

StarlingX main projects

Information on the main StarlingX development projects can be found on the wiki pages below:

Config project Fault project
HA project GUI project
Metal project NFV project
Update project Distributed Cloud project

StarlingX supporting projects

In addition to the main StarlingX development projects there are also additional projects to help us develop, maintain, document, build and release the overall StarlingX software stack.

Docs and Infra project Build project
Distro - OpenStack project Distro - Non-OpenStack project
Test project Security project
Containers project wiki Networking project wiki
Releases project wiki

StarlingX cross-project initiatives

There are several initiatives we are implementing that cross project boundaries:

Python2 to Python3 Transition Zuul Enablement and Coverage Devstack Integration

ToDo:

  • Add a cross project initiative (or new project) for Multi-OS support
  • Add a vendor project for Intel platform specific features e.g. FPGA access in guests, GPU support in guests, Intel SGX and EPID support and NEV SDK integration
  • Create a Project Map graphic that captures all of this in a graphical way, similar to (or an extension of) the OpenStack project map.

Upstream Status

The StarlingX code base contains a number of out-of-tree patches against other open source components. One of our highest priorities is to contribute those changes to their upstream communities.

We are tracking our progress in a shared Google document. Please BruceJ @ Intel and send him a gmail.com email address for access to the document.
