More frequent Fedora Cloud updates
Hello!
My name is Joe Doss and I want to help the Fedora Cloud SIG bring more
frequent tested releases of Fedora Cloud it's user base. The goal of
this project is to provide more frequent updates of Fedora Cloud to
users on a set cadence or on a case per case basis for major security
events.
One major pain point that Fedora Cloud currently faces is the fact that
once a new Fedora release comes out, the cloud images are no longer
updated over time. This brings a poor user experience if bugs that are
fixed later on in the current release cycle but are painful on the first
boot of a Fedora Cloud instance until the user updates the instance.
I reached out to Dusty Mabe and he agreed to mentor me on this project
along with help from Kellin and Mohan.
The current ideas on the table for bringing this project to light are:
* Standardize and improve Fedora Cloud tests
* Create a Fedora Cloud test day for these updates to help improve tests
* Set a release cadence policy post Fedora Release
* Set a security update policy for major security updates
We will create issues under pagure.io/cloud-sig and try to get this
project rolling by Fedora 30 at the latest. Any comments or suggestions
on this topic are very welcome.
Thanks!
Joe
