Adam, Personally, I would prefer the approach where the OpenStack resource agents are part of the repository in which they are used. This is also the approach taken in other open source projects such as Kubernetes and avoids the inconsistency where, for example, Azure resource agents are in the Cluster Labs repository but OpenStack ones are not. This can mean that people miss there is OpenStack integration available.
This does not reflect, in any way, the excellent efforts and results made so far. I don't think it would negate the possibility to include testing in the OpenStack gate since there are other examples where code is pulled in from other sources.

By popular demand from the community, in Oct 2015 the canonical location for OpenStack-specific resource agents became: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/openstack-resource-agents/ as announced here: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-October/077601.html However I have to admit I have done a terrible job of maintaining it since then. Since OpenStack RAs are now beginning to creep into ClusterLabs/resource-agents, now seems a good time to revisit this and decide a coherent strategy. I'm not religious either way, although I do have a fairly strong preference for picking one strategy which both ClusterLabs and OpenStack communities can align on, so that all OpenStack RAs are in a single place. I'll kick the bikeshedding off: Pros of hosting OpenStack RAs on ClusterLabs -------------------------------------------- - ClusterLabs developers get the GitHub code review and Travis CI experience they expect. - Receive all the same maintenance attention as other RAs - any changes to coding style, utility libraries, Pacemaker APIs, refactorings etc. which apply to all RAs would automatically get applied to the OpenStack RAs too. - Documentation gets built in the same way as other RAs. - Unit tests get run in the same way as other RAs (although does ocf-tester even get run by the CI currently?) - Doesn't get maintained by me ;-) Pros of hosting OpenStack RAs on OpenStack infrastructure --------------------------------------------------------- - OpenStack developers get the Gerrit code review and Zuul CI experience they expect. - Releases and stable/foo branches could be made to align with OpenStack releases (..., Queens, Rocky, Stein, T(rains?)...) - Automated testing could in the future spin up a full cloud and do integration tests by simulating failure scenarios, as discussed here: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2002129 That said, that is still very much work in progress, so it remains to be seen when that could come to fruition. No doubt I've missed some pros and cons here. At this point personally I'm slightly leaning towards keeping them in the openstack-resource-agents - but that's assuming I can either hand off maintainership to someone with more time, or somehow find the time myself to do a better job. What does everyone else think? All opinions are very welcome, obviously. __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
