Description

Kickoff for the 14.0 release for the Distribution team.

Planning issue - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/distribution/team-tasks/-/issues/817

A

Hello: everyone, my name, is dylan arino and I'm the product manager for distribution, and today I'm going to be giving our 14.0 kickoff.

A

This is our scheduling issue for our 14.00 release and our product priorities here, number one we'll be completing any work in progress from 13.12 before accomplishing our second priority, which is 14.0. Removals 14.0 gives us the opportunity to upgrade to a new major version so moving from 13 to 14, and what comes with that is the ability to remove support for older versions of software and technologies that we use to a later version of those softwares and softwares and technologies softwares. um An example of this is removing postgres sql11 in favor of postgres sql 12..

A

Another example of this is upgrading our console version from 1.6 to a later version. It's recommended to stay within two major releases, so we would like to either upgrade to 1.8 or 1.9 with this major release. Another example of this is removing some unicorn support in favor of puma.

A

Puma gives us new efficiencies with memory consumption, so decreased memory, consumption in in puma versus unicorn and moving back to our scheduling release. Those are some of our 14 removal examples. The next priority that we're going to be working on is our operator ga.

A

So this is still a major product priority for us, which is why there's not a whole lot of other items on this product priorities list moving to or or supporting a operator gives us number one support for openshift, which is very important for us, but also allows us to automate a lot of our day two operations.

A

So this is why this is one of our major product priorities and encompasses a lot of the the work uh and the focus for our team.

A

But if we have the opportunity to sprinkle in some tech debt, we will continue doing so. It's also important for us to tackle this tech, debt and items that we want to pass on.

A

You know positive features, and you know support to our customers and users and so tackling some of this tech that will allow us to do that. So that is our product priorities and scheduling for 14.0 thanks and have a great day.
