Meeting took place on Zoom

present :

IT)          Diana - Jose 

ATS)       Enyuan - Paolo - Nikos - Thomas - Enzo

Status of ATS-IT cloud POC:

ATS-BE-CSS status:

• Enyuan commented that is quota is set on the region project and working so far! Enyuan, will become the product owner of KsC.
• Thomas will investigate KAPI migration and happy to get it, addons have been tested.
• Challenges about multi-master evaluations, strategy on change management and time resources, will certainly drive to move KsC ATS production towards single master solution, but will keep the multi-master option for future evolutions.
• T.O. requested certain users to prepare next PSO resources and write it to launch ASAP!
• Nikos IPMI randomized, not started so far, but E.G. will give the OpenStack commands needed.
• Pablo upgraded NetApp without any problems, a second update for PHP pending issue will be made later, but without foresee disruptions. 

Kubernetes's status:

• Diana created multi-master clusters and deployed it Cluster API demonstration was well received and will require some latest effort to put into production.

OpenCloud status:

• Jose deployed Octavia and was intensively testing it with Diana.
• Consumer notification and logs were not working on TN and cluster API was requiring some unavailable features that will need some developments, internal discussions on-going.
• Enzo asked about self-Quota management by ATS admins proposal by running a Rundeck for example. What is missing?
• Jose answered that, functionality are relying on Service Now and need to be evaluated by the next POC, but advanced spare quota practice will be the best way of going on.

Long term actions:

- Add dashboards for OpenSearch on Grafana, to validate new deliveries

- Add job to see if we are still using default IPMI credentials 

- Change to anonymous IPMI credentials

 Next steps: 

Ensure that random IPMI credential are replacing the actual.

ATS test KsC cluster creation and onboard as much as possible, all different kind of HW
