Hello!
My name is Joe Doss and I want to help the Fedora Cloud SIG bring more
frequent tested releases of Fedora Cloud it's user base. The goal of this
project is to provide more frequent updates of Fedora Cloud to users on a
set cadence or on a case per case basis for major security events.
One major pain point that Fedora Cloud currently faces is the fact that once
a new Fedora release comes out, the cloud images are no longer updated over
time. This brings a poor user experience if bugs that are fixed later on in
the current release cycle but are painful on the first boot of a Fedora
Cloud instance until the user updates the instance.
That's not entirely true, the cloud images are updated for major
security events. They are also built every day [1]. The issue is to
date there's not been a proper process in which they're
updated/communicated etc. Over all I welcome what you generally
propose.
I reached out to Dusty Mabe and he agreed to mentor me on this
project along
with help from Kellin and Mohan.
The current ideas on the table for bringing this project to light are:
* Standardize and improve Fedora Cloud tests
* Create a Fedora Cloud test day for these updates to help improve tests
* Set a release cadence policy post Fedora Release
* Set a security update policy for major security updates
We will create issues under pagure.io/cloud-sig and try to get this project
rolling by Fedora 30 at the latest. Any comments or suggestions on this
topic are very welcome.
