This is great!  I've been wondering about these very question since the Container Runtime was announced.  Thanks for posting this here.

Hello all,

 

During the Cloud Foundry board meeting which happened right after the European Cloud Foundry summit in Basel there was a request to the Cloud Foundry Technical Advisory Board (TAB) to come up with ideas around a closer integration of Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes.

 

While there is the well-established Kubo effort to manage Kubernetes clusters using BOSH, a group of Cloud Foundry platinum member companies comprising of (in alphabetical order) IBM, SAP, and SUSE felt that we as a community could do more with respect to integrating Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes. In the last few weeks, colleagues from these three companies have started creating ideas and project proposals which are now in a shape so that we can share them with the broader Cloud Foundry community to solicit feedback:

 

  1. Cloud Foundry/Kubernetes Integration Scenarios
    • Goal: Integrate a Cloud Foundry deployment and one/many Kubernetes clusters, no matter how they were created
    • Lead: Bernd Krannich (SAP)
    • On this document Swisscom also provided their inputs
    • Also, while above document lists potential projects there is already a first project proposal around an Open Service Broker Catalog for which we are also seeking feedback
  2. Cloud Foundry Orchestrator Provider Interface
    • Goal: Provide an API inside Cloud Foundry to allow switching the scheduling layer for Cloud Foundry Applications to be K8S
    • Lead: Simon Moser (IBM)
  3. Containerizing Cloud Foundry
    • Goal: With topic #2 completed, deploy the remaining Cloud Foundry control plane components (UAA, Cloud Controller, …) as Pods on Kubernetes
    • Lead: Vlad Iovanov (SUSE)

 

People from the three companies can jointly say that it was great to see a collaborative effort resulting in what we think is a promising direction for Cloud Foundry overall.

 

We’d love to hear your thoughts so please make sure to leave comments and feedback in the respective documents or send us general feedback over cf-dev.

 

Thanks in advance,

Simon Moser (IBM), Bernd Krannich (SAP), Vlad Iovanov (SUSE) in the name of the colleagues from these three companies who put effort into the topic

Re: Change filesystem type in V2 manifest schema

Marco Voelz
 

Hi,

 

a change in filesystem format requires formatting the disk. Currently, the only way to trigger creating a new persistent disk and copying over the data is when changing the disk's size. Hope that helps.

 

Warm regards

Subject: [cf-bosh] Change filesystem type in V2 manifest schema

 

Hi,

 

Here in the bosh docs https://bosh.io/docs/persistent-disk-fs.html, it is mentioned that if we want to change the filesystem type, we have to change the persistent disk size.

Why is the disk size change mandatory for the filesystem change?

 

We have a use case where we want to migrate the deployment from ext4 filesystem to xfs filesystem. But as per the docs, this happens only when the disk size is also changed.

Appreciate the help.


Re: [project-leads] Proposal to change GH org permission structure for committers

Amit Kumar Gupta
 

Hi all,

1) People that aren't on the project teams have a hard time finding where work of that project team is actually happening.

Do you have any data on how significant a problem this is?  I assume 99% of a team's work happens in cf or cf-inc orgs, and forks are temporary in service of PR'ing to a repo in cf or cf-inc.  For teams I've worked on in the past, someone has forked into their personal account and given the rest of the team members collab access to that repo, then tore it down after the PR is merged.  Forking into a team account e.g. cf-routing also seems like it makes sense to solve this problem.  But the main point IMO is that almost all the team's work happens in a discoverable place (cf or cf-inc), and the work that happens on these forks is ephemeral and not meant to receive further upstream PRs, they exist to PR into something else downstream.

2) The team specific orgs are not typically setup to ensure CLA's for any inbound pull requests.

See prev comment about how these team-specific orgs are generally not used for long-lived work that should be receiving PRs.

3) Use of the cloudfoundry-incubator for these forks is confusing to observers, and completely different from what the incubator is supposed to be.

Agree that cf-inc shouldn't be used to house forks.  It's confusing, not the point of cf-inc, and doesn't scale (what happens when two teams want to fork nats into cf-inc?).

If there were a simple working agreement to do core work in cf or cf-inc, and use personal/team accounts/orgs for temporary forks for the purpose of PRs, would this solve the problems?

I would definitely be hesitant about wide-open push access across teams, I'd recommend allowing teams and people to organically choose the best cross-team collaboration workflow (cross-team pairing, PRs, direct commit) on a case-by-case basis.

Cheers,
Amit

Some of the CFF project teams have been working in team specific GH orgs as a way to fork other project team repos that aren't core to their own efforts.

Neither is optimal, for several reasons:

Today, permissions are established for specific teams to access specific repos. In most cases they are limited to the repos owned by their project. In some cases, teams are already sharing commit rights to repos from other projects. The theory of locked down permissions is tied to the assumption of code ownership by one specific team.

I propose we change both the technical aspects of how permissions are handled, and the social / community aspect of how committers work with other project teams.

Specifically, I propose that we change our permission model to a much simpler one:

1) A single team for all committers in each PMC. That team would be given write permission across all repos that are part of projects in that PMC in both the cloudfoundry-incubator and cloudfoundry GH organizations.
2) All repos would also have a default branch selected and set as "protected" (disabling deletion and things like forced push).

This would both simplify some of the administrative work (much of which is handled by the awesome admin team at Pivotal today), and allow us to change our community's approach to cross project collaboration. Specifically, teams that want to make changes to another project's repo would create a branch in that repo to do their work in (and from which to do a PR). Project teams would still "own" their repos (and default branches), but this would be convention not enforced via permissions.

I welcome your thoughts and feedback on the proposal!

Hi Arpit - this message is fairly specific to the Cloud Foundry releases, so you might have better luck emailing the cf-dev@... where there's more experience deploying CF and seeing these particular error messages. A cursory suggestion to investigate might be that cells are not correctly running or reporting in. I think cf-dev will be able to help out more, or feel free to join the channels at http://slack.cloudfoundry.org.

Re: Is there a way to specify the filesystem format in BOSH v1 manifest schema

Dr Nic Williams
 

The version of the manifest isn’t the main issue - you will need to upgrade your bosh director. But it is highly encouraged for you to be regularly upgrading your bosh environments.

See bosh-deployment repo for a wonderful way to deploy your bosh environments.

One option is to use the multiple persistent disk feature of bosh - this creates disks and does not format them.

Hi Colleagues,

Currently bosh uses ext4 filesystem format by default for the attached persistent disks. Is there a way to specify some other filesystem format (like XFS) in BOSH V1 manifest schema?
I am aware of this https://bosh.io/docs/persistent-disk-fs.html but looks like this is for V2 manifest schema.

Migration is now complete and things seem fully functional (including search function).  Please let me know if you have any issues or concerns.  You can take a look at the new interface here, or just continue to use email.  

Links to the old lists have been redirected and should be working fine.  
However, if there are links out there (in documentation, stack overflow, wherever) pointing to specific posts on the lists, those links have broken.  Hopefully the search function will allow people to easily find old posts, so this shouldn't be a big inconvenience.  If it is, please let me know.
