Flavio,Forgive the top post – outlook ftw. I understand the concerns raised in this thread. It is unclear if this thread is the feeling of two TC members or enough TC members care deeply about this issue to permanently limit OpenStack big tent projects’ ability to generate container images in various external artifact storage systems. The point of discussion I see effectively raised in this thread is “OpenStack infra will not push images to dockerhub”. I’d like clarification if this is a ruling from the TC, or simply an exploratory discussion. If it is exploratory, it is prudent that OpenStack projects not be blocked by debate on this issue until the TC has made such ruling as to banning the creation of container images via OpenStack infrastructure.
Hey Steven, It's nothing to do with the TC. It's a release management concern and I just happen to have an opinion on it. :) As Doug mentioned, OpenStack has (almost) never released binaries in any form. This doesn't mean we can't revisit this "rule" but until that happens, the concern stands. Flavio

I assume we'll be responsible to keep these images healthy... I think this is the gist of the concern and I'd like us to focus on it. As someone that used to consume these images from kolla's dockerhub account directly, I can confirm they are useful. However, I do share Doug's concern and the impact this may have on the community. From a release perspective, as Doug mentioned, we've avoided releasing projects in any kind of built form. This was also one of the concerns I raised when working on the proposal to support other programming languages. The problem of releasing built images goes beyond the infrastructure requirements. It's the message and the guarantees implied with the built product itself that are the concern here. And I tend to agree with Doug that this might be a problem for us as a community. Unfortunately, putting your name, Michal, as contact point is not enough. Kolla is not the only project producing container images and we need to be consistent in the way we release these images. Nothing prevents people for building their own images and uploading them to dockerhub. Having this as part of the OpenStack's pipeline is a problem. Flavio P.S: note this goes against my container(ish) interests but it's a community-wide problem. -- @flaper87 Flavio Percoco __________________________________________________________________________ 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
