Hi,
This email is to resume the discussion on putting Networkd as network
stack in Fedora Cloud Atomic and base images. During Fedora 23 release
we had some discussion on the same. I made couple of images [1], and
also AMI on AWS [2], so that people can play around.
Major Hayden did some excellent write up [3] [4] [5] about Networkd in
Fedora [6].
Last time when we discussed this issue, one of the major concern was QA
cycle. We all know how much overloaded the QA team is. Now we have some
level of automated testing (increasing regularly), and also a new
volunteer group from the Cloud SIG to help by doing manual QA on the
images. If we can make a list of things to be tested (or what all tests
are currently being done) on the network stack for current Fedora
releases, we all can help in, and make sure that the images with this
new feature get proper testing.
"Features", and "First" are part of our four foundations. I
personally
think putting Networkd on our cloud images will certainly help us to
grow the features where latest technology is involved.
