I am busy changing the world

(source:  https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/newsletter-3-28/ ) As we are reaching the final weeks of the Stein cycle, I would like to discuss a little bit about what we've done in Stein and planning for the Train cycle. Stein cycle highlights as putting in [1]: Searchlight now works with Elasticsearch 5.x We have released a new vision to make Searchlight a multi-cloud application [2]. Moreover, we did a comparison of our vision and the OpenStack clouds vision Functional test setup has been improved Searchlight now can work and be tested with Python 3.7 And for the Train cycle, we would like to accomplish these main goals to fulfill the vision: Make searchlight work with multiple cloud platforms including multiple OpenStack clouds [6], Azure [9], Google Cloud [10], AWS [11].  Add support for other OpenStack resources: Tacker [7], Octavia [8] Deprecate support for Elasticsearch 2.x [5] There is a lot of work to be done so I would continue putting effor...

Yahooo!!! We just released Searchlight Stein RC1 last week [1][2]. The stable/stein branch has been created for all of the projects. Here are the versions: - searchlight: 6.0.0.0rc1 - searchlight-ui: 6.0.0.0rc1 - python-searchlightclient: 1.5.0 Moreover, we also added some highlights for Searchlight in this Stein cycle  [3]. There will be not much going on for the rest of the cycle, only minor changes. And, since we're busy preparing for the next term with more features to fulfill the Searchlight's vision [4], we will focus on designing the architecture and make Searchlight more stable. BTW, I will continue serving as Searchlight's PTL for Train :) So, let's rock it!!!
