[Pulp-list] Pulp 3.0 and future requirements?

[Brian Bouterse]

Hi Dagen,

For Pulp 3.0.0, the feature set is mostly known with user use cases tracked
in a document on the wiki. The doc [0] is written as a minimum viable
product so we can deliver something that provides Pulp's core value in a
timely manner and then we can add features to it over time. Some notable
gaps include no authorization, nodes has been removed, and so have
scheduled calls. One notable addition is a legitimate Plugin API to ease
the burden for plugin writers adding content support.

Pulp3 will only use PostgreSQL, which will entirely replace Pulp's usage of
mongodb. It's good to hear this will match your standard operating
environment.

In terms of Nagios, I'm more familiar with that as a management system
instead of httpd. I'd have to hear more about what you would like in terms
Nagios support. In terms of using Nagios for monitoring, the Status API is
available in Pulp2 and will also be in Pulp3.

There is a developer mailing list called pulp-dev which is where most of
the Pulp3 discussion is currently happening. You can join it [1] or read
the archives [2]. We also have weekly calls [3] where each week we refine a
section of the MVP with more details.

If you have specific use cases, suggestions, or ideas, please let us know!
We would really like some alpha/beta testing, which we hope to be starting
soon but we are just a bit early for. Right now making sure the use cases
are sound is one of the best ways to contribute.
