Hi all,

We're quite close to our feature freeze (extended to 4/20) and I want
to give a brief update.

I have an environment locally deployed which can deploy OpenStack
(CentOS, Havana) and run OSTF. There were a number of issues with
missing explicit dependencies for astute and mcollective, but I've
resolved them all either through package updates or puppet patches.

The remaining issues to be met before feature freeze are these:
1 - finish polishing the bootstrap_admin_node.sh script. It extracts
the lrz archive of docker images and loads them in currently, but
doesn't deploy the containers in order. Deployment by hand by simply
starting each one with dockerctl works just fine. I will spend my time
this weekend on that task.
2 - Sergey O (OSCI) added openssh-clients as a dependency for astute
RPM, but it's not in master repo yet.
3 - Tatyana L will update OSTF to provide a config file option for
configuring parameters. If she can't deliver, we'll have to work extra
variable passing into nailgun::supervisord puppet class to get OSTF
all the required parameters for starting.

The critical, but not blocker items for the release are:
1 - rework diagnostic snapshot so that it does not require nailgun to
be on the same host as mcollective + shotgun
2 - finish development of Fuel ISO makefile that builds all containers
from scratch (We can do it asynchronously for now and just download
packaged containers)
3 - tuning of docker init script so that it kills all containers
before it shuts down. It will prevent zombie process issues.

Nice to haves if we can get them in time for the release:
1 - Re-optimize LRZ compression and decompression times (12 minutes to
uncompress and docker load inside a VM is too long)
2 - Package dockerctl into an RPM

I'd like to thank Alexander Didenko, Vladimir Sharshov, Vladimir
Kuklin, Evgeniy Li, Andrey Danin, and our QA team for all their
efforts this past week in getting all the code ready and helping to
patch up bugs during the crunch.

Best Regards,
Matthew Moseoshn
