Re: Thoughts on cf-for-k8s Use Cases

Daniel Jones
 

Hey all!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Bernd.

It sounds like there are a lot of overheads for SAP in adopting cf-for-k8s. More operational complexity managing many clusters, and then the effort of migrating from cf-for-VMs to the new world. Is this all worth it? Are end-users clamouring to be able to deploy things to Kubernetes alongside their CF apps?

The notion of specifying different target runtime environments per isolation segment is intriguing. If this were possible, would it be simpler to stick with cf-for-VMs, and have a Kubernetes cluster for each tenant that runs apps and user workloads? This would be exactly the same as running Eirini on cf-for-VMs (which VMware published as an offering), except there'd be the option for one-Kubernetes-per-tenant.

As an aside, I do sincerely hope that the large CF vendors are intending to heavily market CF as the easy mode for Kubernetes. I wonder if all the migration efforts required to adopt cf-for-k8s are worthwhile to existing users.

[Feedback] CAPI V3 Services #services #cf

fmartini@...
 

Hi all,

We are now closer to having most of the SAPI functionality migrated into v3 and would like to make sure that there is no critical use case that we are missing.
We have appreciated all your previous feedback on our proposals and it would be great if you can find time to give us some feedback on what is implemented via this form: https://forms.gle/RYcsz2AdLDznrmMCA .

Ideally, we are looking for feedback in the next few weeks to allow us to prioritise any missed use cases.

Thanks,

Hi,


The BOSH team is introducing a new Stemcell line based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver). The new Stemcell can be found on https://bosh.io/.


We will support Xenial Stemcells on bosh.io until April 2021, when Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus will reach end-of-life as per Canonical's official support lifecycle policy.


Bionic Stemcells are currently beta and we invite the community to share feedback on the #bosh-bionic Slack channel, raise issues on Github or engage with us using the community resources available.

Hi all! Thank you for making CF EU Summit a success!

I missed seeing you all in person, and dearly hope that can happen again soon. In the meantime, I suppose we’ll have to be content with virtual perks like wearing sweat pants to meetings, perpetual access to coffee brewed to your liking, and live-streamed alpacas.

  • Julz Friedman is stepping down as project lead for Eirini, and there is a call for nominations. IBM has nominated Julian Skupnjak for the lead. More here
  • Cloudfoundry.org got a nice facelift, with slick new pages for cf-for-k8sKubeCF, and more.  
  • SUSE Cloud Application Platform announced v2.1 – blog post here.
  • Docker announced the Docker Open Source Program, which grants Cloud Foundry and other OSS projects exemptions from some new policy changes. More on that here.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: [php-buildpack] End of Support for PHP versions 7.2.x after 2020-12-02

Kashyap Vedurmudi <kvedurmudi@...>
 

The first release of the PHP buildpack after December 2, 2020 will no longer include PHP versions 7.2.x. These PHP versions will no longer be supported upstream.[1] Please migrate your PHP apps to supported versions of PHP before that time.


Note: As 7.2.x is the current default version of PHP in the buildpack, the default PHP version will be updated to 7.4.x as a part of this removal. If you’d like to use a different PHP version, please configure your application to select that version[2].


As always, the buildpacks team is happy to answer questions you may have about this deprecation in the #buildpacks Slack channel.


[1] - https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php 

[2] - https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/php/gsg-php-config.html 


Thanks,

Kashyap Vedurmudi, Buildpacks PM




Upcoming DockerHub policy changes

Chris Clark
 

DockerHub has been planning a few policy changes they’ll be implementing Nov 1st, some of which might impact various Cloud Foundry projects:

  • Pull Rate Limits: announced here. These are based on the puller, not the repository, and if you are a member of a paid plan, you will not be subject to this.
  • Image Retention Limits: *HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO MID 2021*
  • Some legacy plans are to be deprecated soon, including the one we are currently on. DockerHub is currently working on new open source plans though, and the CFF will move likely forward with that once they’ve been announced. In the meantime we should be unaffected by the changes listed above.

 

In short, if you need to be added to the cloudfoundry DockerHub org to avoid pull rate limiting, please email contributors@.... All other changes are not happening in the immediate future.

 

One last thing to mention: some projects have been using the new GitHub Container Registry, I believe with some success.

CFI-914: update yaml2json in iacbox

Stephan Weber
 

Hi,

 

I got your email addresses from https://github.tools.sap/cf-live-realm/central-station/blob/master/product-inventory_eu2.json.

 

With https://jtrack.wdf.sap.corp/browse/CFI-914 we are about to update yaml2json in the iacbox. For this all occurrences of ‘<<:‘ in yaml files or code which produces yaml files must be replaced by ‘<<<:‘ .. three instead of two `<` characters.

NOTE: Do NOT change config-descriptor.yml or credentials-descriptor.yml files.

 

Please check your products and provide fixes during this sprint. It would be nice if you could add a note to https://sap-cp.slack.com/archives/C897FG0TC when you’re done. We plan to update iacbox on Tuesday Nov 3rd. If you’re not able to adapt your product but elsewhere use ‘<<:‘ within you must not use newer iacbox versions in your landscape/jobs then.

 

Best regards, Stephan

Re: CF Application Runtime PMC: Eirini Project Lead Call for Nominations

Simon D Moser
 

Hi, everyone,

IBM is nominating Julian Skupnjak for the Eirini project lead in the Application Runtime PMC.

Julian has worked on Cloud Foundry since 2017, serving as an engineer and later on as the anchor on the Eirini team. For the last few months Julian already took over the role as PM, replacing Dr .Julz during his parental leave.
Prior to joining the CF community, Julian has spent several years serving as Engineer and DevOps engineer on internal IBM projects.

Hi, everyone,

Julian "Dr. Julz" Friedman, the Project Lead for the Eirini team within the Application Runtime PMC, is stepping down from the project, as he is now focusing on other open-source community contributions. We thank him for his extensive service.

The Eirini team, based in Europe, now has an opening for its project lead. Project leads must be nominated by a Cloud Foundry Foundation member. Please send nominations directly to me or in reply to this message no later than 11:59 PM PST on Monday, November 9, 2020.

Also, if you have any questions about the role or the nomination process, as described in the CFF governance documents (https://www.cloudfoundry.org/governance/cff_development_operations_policy/), please let me know.
