Hello there,
I've been using CentOS for quite a while but I haven't gotten involved with the overall community quite yet. I'm using this email as a step towards changing that. ;)
Karanbir mentioned that the Hosting SIG[1] needed an owner and I'd like to take on that challenge
Wow, that's awesome news. You'd be a great leader of the SIG.
+1 from me.
I've worked with web/application hosting since 2002 from basic LAMP stacks to large-scale, highly orchestrated OpenStack-based virtualization environments. There are some nuances to the world of hosting that demands quite a few changes from a standard CentOS minimal installation.
Some of my goals for the SIG would be:
- How do we make it easier for system administrators to host
applications using various development languages and server platforms?
- How can we make configuration automation frameworks more effective
and easier to use on CentOS in hosting environments? (Think ansible, puppet, chef, etc)
- I'd like to see if we could make a boot-from-PXE squashfs live OS
(similar to Debian's live system) a supported solution for very large server environments.
These are just some of my initial thoughts on the topic. I welcome your feedback!
I imagine you'll also want to ensure the work of the cloud instance and hypervisor SIG's is meeting the needs of hosting providers, but that's more a secondary thing for now as those SIG's are just getting off the ground.
