 So hello, this is Heidi George-Fathaway with the OpenStack Foundation with the Mitaka design series and I'm here with Gal Staghi and we're talking about what's come out of the Mitaka design summit. So Gal, tell us a little bit about yourself. Hi, Heidi. Well, I'm Gal Staghi. I'm an open source software architect working for the Huawei European Research Center, focusing mainly on the OpenStack, on Neutron, containers networking and virtual networking in general. Courier is kind of a newer project and it has an unusual name. Can you tell us a little bit more about the name? So in Courier, like any other thing, we decided to pick the name in an open way. So we actually, before we had the name, we listed to the mailing list asking for people's opinion about the name and the name Courier, which is a check word for Courier, just came up and it was unanimously picked as the name. And tell us a little about Courier's relationship with Neutron. How are these two connected? So we started Courier as a sub-project under Neutron Big Stadium. We are very closely related to Neutron. We are dependent on it. And we are working as part of all the other Big Stadium projects in Neutron. Let's talk about some of the hot topics that your team was discussing during the Tepio Design Summit and some of the decisions and outcomes that came out of it. Tell us about hot topics. Well, some of the main things that we wanted to tackle in Tokyo was we wanted to find out the sore points of user deployments in containers networking. We wanted to see how Neutron flexibility can help in these issues. We wanted to start initiating integration with other projects like Magnum and Kola. And we wanted to give Courier visibility to let us share with them what we have done so far and hopefully invite them to join in. Let's dig deeper on user needs. And I'm wondering if you can tell us a little bit more about the user needs or problems that Courier is going to help solve. So we spend a lot of time in the summit talking with the people and understanding how they are deploying containers today and how they are deploying their networking. And what we have identified is that users are trying and needing the flexibility that Neutron provides. They want to reduce the complexity layers in the networking solution today. But still they are looking for an obstruction that gives them the feature set that they have already used to and are already using in their environments today. What three features or enhancements do you expect to deliver in the Mitaka release? So in the Mitaka release, our top priority is a stabilizing Courier. It's working on testing on CI, on functional gate testing. We are very dependent in Courier on third-party frameworks and containers framework like Docker Live Network, for example, and these frameworks change quite frequently so we want to be able to test and verify the stability of the code. We are also going to work on integrating with Magnum, supporting nested containers use cases, how exactly Courier fits in these environments, where exactly it's been deployed and how it communicates with Neutron services. And the last is deployment in general and packaging of Courier. And we have a stretch goal to integrate with multi-node environments and with orchestration engines like Docker Swarm, Mezos, and Kubernetes. So we want to know what key theme or themes that Courier intends to deliver in the Mitaka release. So I think the top priority for Courier is manageability. Basically, this is the main use case of Courier. What we are doing is bridging between all of these different containers models like Docker, Kubernetes, and so to Neutron and basically simplifying the way that users deploy containers, networking in a mixed open-stack environment. And this is one of our top priorities. The other is interoperability. We are working on integrating with Project Magnum and hopefully becoming the standard for the default driver for Magnum and hopefully for other users that are deploying containers in open-stack. Great. Well, thank you for your time, Val. We really appreciate you joining us. Thank you, Heidi and Shamil. You are very nice. It was good to finally see you.
