  • explored the possibility of using the Snap Profile/aspect approach to design Juju service locators
  • investigated AWS and GCP networking models to provide the model abstractions for the network activity in Juju
  • a bit of bugs triage and code review

Juju:

  • More clean-up work in the Juju OLM Reference and How-to guide docs.
  • Initiated plans for similar overhaul of Juju SDK Reference and How-to guide docs. The idea is for the Reference docs to document all the machinery (Ops, Charmcraft CLI commands, Concepts) and then to have cross-referencing between these docs and the how-to guides that rely on them.

Multipass:

  • Progress with the tutorial.

Landed all but one of my PRs before signing off from the Juju team.

  • Landed the dqlite development into a new 3.0/develop branch
  • Updated the logging to allow forwarding to syslog instead of the database to see if logging is actually the bottle neck in production.
  • Fix LXD errors for already existing containers
  • Remove reflection when creating a facade, this should improve performance and when starting a controller.
  • Allow proxy aware charmhub clients
  • Allow centos to be fully integrated when deploying from charmhub

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
