Hi Devs,

Wish you a Very Happy New Year! Hope you all had a great holiday!

We have now come to the last stage of finalizing 4.1.0-Alpha release. As I
can recall following are the remaining tasks we need to complete:

*1. Finalize Kubernetes Workflow:*

During past few days I was fixing issues in the Kubernetes workflow and
following are the remaining problems:
- Python agent does not publish health statistitics to CEP.
- Autoscaler obsolete member rule invokes terminateInstance() method twice
with the same member id. As a result the second call fails.

I'm currently working on fixing the above issues and finalizing the
Kubernetes workflow.

*2. Verify Service Grouping on OpenStack and EC2:*

I believe we verified the complete service grouping functionality with Mock
IaaS however we could not test it with OpenStack and EC2.

*3. Verify Clustering Support for Stratos Components:*

I did the initial implementation of clustering support for Load Balancer
and Cloud Controller, we need to verify it and apply it to Autoscaler and
Stratos Manager.

*4. Load Balancer Configuration for Service Grouping:*

Service grouping functionality allows us to add a load balancer cartridge
to an application or group. However we need to provide a configuration
option to specify which cartridges to be served by a given load balancer
cartridge.

*5. Reduce the Docker Image Size:*

Currently Docker base image size is around 380 MB and PHP Docker image size
is around 404 MB. Due to a known issue in Kubernetes v0.5.2 we need to
download the Docker images from Docker Hub once. It would be better if we
could reduce the size of the base image so that we could save time on this
process.


It would be great if anyone would like to contribute to remaining tasks, we
will try our best to complete them ASAP and announce 4.1.0-Alpha release.

Many Thanks
