[openstack-dev] [UX] Results Presentation: Managing OpenStack Quotas within Production Environments

2016-09-21 Thread Danielle Mundle
The OpenStack UX team will be giving a results presentation from a series
of interviews intended to understand how operators manage quotas at scale
as well as the pain points associated with that process.  The study was
conducted by Danielle (IRC: uxdanielle) and included operators from CERN,
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Workday, Intel and Universidade
Federal de Campina Grande.

The presentation begins in ~20 minutes. WebEx information to join the
session can be found at the top of the UX wiki page:

Thanks for supporting UX research in the community!

(Apologies for cross-posting)

The OpenStack UX team will be giving a presentation this Wednesday, 9/21
that summarizes results from a series of interviews intended to understand
how operators manage quotas at scale as well as the pain points associated
with that process.

The study was conducted by Danielle Mundle (IRC: uxdanielle) and included
operators from CERN, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Workday, Intel
and Universidade Federal de Campina Grande and others.

The presentation details can be found at the top of the OpenStack UX wiki:

[openstack-dev] [Ops] [UX] Video Posted - Results Presentation: Operator Information Needs

2016-08-17 Thread Danielle Mundle
Hello all,

We've recently uploaded a video presenting the findings from the recent UX
research on information needs of operators. There will also be a session at
the Ops Summit next week in NY around how to move forward with potential
solutions.

https://youtu.be/dktorTIqU5s


Main findings:

* Overall, operators tend to follow a similar process for information
gathering:

1) Google or internal information search to isolate the problem

2) Reach out to an external source for alternate ideas – usually another
co-worker or an operator in the community (indirectly via IRC or mailing
list)

3) Comb through the code to check for more granular clues to pinpoint the
issue

* While participants acknowledged that total consolidation of all OpenStack
information was out of scope, a common theme among ideal solutions was
better organization of information.

Potential solutions (in no particular order):

   - Create a knowledge base of problems encountered and solutions proposed
   -
   - Utilize a template to ensure a common structure for capturing
   environment info
   -
   - Collect “best practices” for common tasks
   -
   - Optimize search for Google results
   -
   - (Smaller company) access to other problem-solving resources provided
   by (larger) companies
   - More detailed OpenStack logging
   -
   - Having a greater number and/or better quality of operator-focused docs
   -
   - The ability to add comments to specific documentation pages
   -
   - Providing reference architectures as a learning tool


Feel free to add your thoughts and comments!
