C

Hi everyone, um so I was on community support last week, um so trying to stay on top of the discussions and new things that are coming in um I've been continuing the work on the multiple credential support. I have a draft pr up um for adding the feature in core valero to for the bsl, so uh thank you, carly daniel for getting the the scaffolding worked for gain um for enabling that support in the cli.

C

So now that information is being passed through um to the rest of the bsl code, um I am continuing to work on enabling this for rustic backups, um and then we opened up some pr uh sorry, some issues last week uh for the plug-in support so I'll, try and pick up uh some of those. This week, um speaking of plugins, I'm gonna try and get a release for the azure plug-in out this week.

C

There was a pr that was opened a couple of weeks ago um to fix an issue um and the folks that are relying on it. I would like an official release um of that, so I'm gonna try and do that this week as well, and that is it for me.

A

Awesome, thank you. um There we go go back to the share um any questions, comments for bridget.

A

All right, uh I just want to note one thing: so: um uh bridgette uh you've been doing these office hours the valera office hours uh for the past couple of weeks here, um fantastic work super fun to see the uh um the engagement here with the community.

A

So if anyone wants to join in on the office hours, they are bi-weekly on thursdays at 1 p.m. Eastern, where we talk to new contributors, new users, kind of going through uh how to how to get started both using and contributing to valero.

C

Yeah be awesome to see more folks. There they've been really fun so far, um so yeah, the more the merrier please join.

A

Yeah we um we had some great conversations last week. I think, uh with some new feature, requests and documentation requests as well so great to see uh great way to get feedback as well. So thank you. Thank you, bridget for leaving that the past couple of weeks here.

A

All right next up, we have dave.

D

Yeah, so just uh finishing up that uh end-to-end test pr. I think we finally got everything nailed down on that, so hopefully we'll get that merged the next day or two um and then nolan and I've been trying to figure out the road map for one uh seven and beyond. So we had some some work. We did on that we're socializing that within the team and then we'll look at putting that out for community input afterwards,.

D

That's it for me.

A

Awesome sounds good: um when do you think we'll we'll have the roadmap up for community review.

D

uh Probably in the next week or two but we're gonna have to get you know, internal feedback from the team, and we also need to get pm input and so forth.

A

Cool sounds good.

A

uh And ashish, I know you, you just came back so no need for status updates from from you. I just wanted to welcome you back.

E

Yep thanks, I'm just catching up on all the emails and pr's that I've missed.

A

Sounds good sounds good great to have you back um all right. Does anyone have any discussion topics or anything they want to bring up on today's call.

F

Hi jonas, this is anthony. Actually I have one issue uh yeah. I was trying to add it to the agenda, but uh I figured I can just bring it up at the end. So, regarding the I had a question for bridges regarding the support for multiple credentials: providers for a bsl, uh so that that feature it talks about adding the credentials as a file and just wanted to ask. Does that require valero pod to be restarted.

F

So, for example, if I, if I provide a new credential for a new bucket, uh will that require developer to be restarted so that I can be able to use it.

C

No, so the the way that this uh feature will work is that um you'll create a kubernetes secret in the valero namespace and then use reference that secret whenever creating the new storage location. So at the moment, when you, um when the backup search location, needs to use that credential, it will load the secret from the blur namespace and pass that through to the plugins.

C

So there's no uh server restart required for this. Okay, that's cool thanks! No problem.

A

All right, any other questions, comments, discussion topics I see nolan just joined. um You want to give your your status update.

G

Yeah so last week I was working on a bunch of github action stuff to like streamline workflows.

G

So um we have some github actions that will automatically label prs and that's super helpful for us to get an overview of. What's coming in.

G

um I haven't checked the status on it yet, but I also put up a pr that kind of streamlined rci um for building and running ci jobs, um so other than that I've been working with dave on getting a road map defined really like would really like to have that finalized finalized by the end of this week,.

G

And also did some more work with team on that uh multiple credential bsl support um looking into whether or not it makes sense to do that with volume snapshotting um and in most cases we really couldn't come up with a good way to do that.

G

So I think that's everything for me this week.

A

Thank you, nolan. Any questions, comments for nolan.

E

A

So uh I don't see any other uh discussion topics here. uh Oh frankie has one. Oh, no, that's a community shout out.

A

You want to go with that. Nolan.

G

Sure um so uh frankie noticed that um the uh the valero plug-in ad command um needed to have the deployment name called valero and uh users may not have it named that so she updated it to instead find it the deployment via the labels, which we will enforce to be static and present.

G

So um this is helpful and uh she's also got another pr out there that we haven't merged. Yet um excuse me adding these labels to the helm chart uh which does have a little bit different set of labels, so we're gonna move towards unifying that um so yeah this. This allows users to have a deployment named, something not valero.

F

Yeah thanks so much for the quick turnaround on that.

A

Thank you, frankie.

A

All right, um so I think that's it. For for this week's meeting short and sweet um have a great rest of the week. Everyone and uh see you all next week.

C

Damn youtube bye, bye, bye, bro.

F

Bye bye, everyone.
