Hello, my name is Jan-Erik Mangs. I’ve worked with IT infrastructure
|
||
since the early days of the Internet. I have a background in computer
|
||
science and a solid base in networking. I’ve been with Ericsson now
|
||
for many years, both in research and development and I’ve worked with
|
||
cloud technologies from the start. I’ve always kept one leg in the
|
||
lab, combining theory with practice and I've worked with operations
|
||
for many years. So, I’ve learned the value of automation the hard
|
||
way. For that reason, I really see the value in Airship.
|
||
|
||
As an end user of Airship since its inclusion in the OpenStack
|
||
Foundation (2018) I have spent a lot of time learning the benefits and
|
||
complications of working with Airship for both new and intermediate
|
||
users. I've also participated in the Airship community since the start
|
||
and I'm currently on the Airship Technical Committee.
|
||
|
||
I believe in the mission of Airship, and it’s growing community, and I
|
||
feel that in order for it to be successful simplification and
|
||
usability needs to be focus items. With the Airship 2 release we have
|
||
a unique opportunity to improve the end user experience. We also have
|
||
an excellent opportunity to attract end users from the Kubernetes
|
||
community and grow the Airship community and use cases. If elected to
|
||
the TC I will focus on precisely these things.
|
||
|
||
I intend to work across the Open Infrastructure and Kubernetes
|
||
communities to facilitate best approaches and industry standards in
|
||
the platform, both to increase ease of use and establish future
|
||
looking models for usability and operations. I'll also be an
|
||
evangelist for Airship in particular in northern Europe.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for your consideration.
|
||
|
||
Jan-Erik Mangs
