Hello Gavin, All, Following up after the call yesterday - I spoke to Karolina (our Head of Cloud @ Polidea) and Daniel (our DevOps) and we would be happy to help the ASF Infrastructure to setup, maintain and learn about management of the Kubernetes cluster. Daniel works as a DevOps and we do quite a lot of stuff with Kubernetes. We also have quite an experience in Polidea with a number of DevOps'y things - both on-premise and cloud, as you might recall - we've already helped in the Apache Beam Infra project to setup Jenkins and GitHub Actions and we are volunteering to help the ASF Infra with anything Kubernetes-related. I will be involved as well and if needed we can pull in other people from Polidea who have various experiences.
I believe - from the last meeting - I've heard several areas you might need some help with: * setting up on-prem Kubernetes (and working out best practices/helping you to get the knowledge, set up long term management/maintenance process) * possibly setting up Cloud Stack instance for you https://cloudstack.apache.org/ - sounds like good candidate to implement the above :). * or maybe even (that's my forward thinking0 combining it with some cloud offering to have extra flexibility and be able to choose (here Kubernetes + Anthos comes to mind immediately) Part of our daily job is to help our customers with more "traditional" experiences and mindset to transition to the more "modern" approach - and we are happy to volunteer quite some time of our people to help with that. Would that be of interest to you? If yes - maybe we can think about asynchronously brainstorming in some shared document (including all people involved - from Cloudstack and other projects) and try to work out a small, incremental deliverable that we can try it out and see if our help will be actually helpful for the infra team? WDYT? Others? How about a collaborative effort on that :)? J.
