Description

Learn more about the features Distribution is working on for 13.11

A

Hi everyone, my name, is dylan marino and I'm the product manager for distribution, and today we're going to be going over our scheduled release for uh 13.11, which will be delivered on april 22nd.

A

So, first, we're obviously going to be closing out any work that was remaining for 13.10 and another higher priority will be delivering on our production needs.

A

Another thing that we're going to be working on is a big release coming up, which is 14.0 so closing out any deprecated work that needs to be finished up for our 14.00 release. Next, in line for our priorities, will be our openshift beta, which might be a familiar one. This is work in progress again from 13.10, and this is important to support our red hat customers, as well as a great foundation for our work and delivering cloud-native installations of gitlab.

A

So the basic operator, which is the delivery of our support for openshift, will help with the operational health and upgrade processes, among other things, related to our cloud native installation. The operator will the future likely replace the helm chart in its future states.

A

So coming up, some other items that we have coming up, which I've got set up here, is replacing our gitlab provisioner with git. So this is a good example of dog fooding. We would like to streamline our tools around git, which stands for get lab environment toolkit in our omnibus get lab pipelines.

A

Another key issue that we have here is allowing our scik deployments to have differing timeouts and another issue related to that is termination grace period seconds, um not configurable for the sidekick chart. So both of these are related to large instances, and people want to customize sidekick or other services in their web service fleet to basically tune them per applications.

A

uh Setting independently.

A

Okay, so that's basically what we're gonna be working on and some of the bigger issues for 13.11 and stay tuned next time for our release. Video for 14.0 and thank you.
