My goal is build on Alberto's work on "yomi" and the new Salt-based virtualization management features that Cedric has contributed, then combine them with a Redfish prototype to do the following from one (ideally idempotent) Salt state (orchestration state if required):
- mount the installation media via Redfish
- power-cycle the machine via Redfish as needed
- use yomi to install the virtualization host
- use yomi and Salt virtualization states to deploy a bunch of VMs that will be our Kubernetes nodes
- use yomi and/or skuba to create a Kubernetes cluster
The goal isn't to get this done perfectly well, but to learn about the potential challenges, especially with the end-to-end integration into Salt.
Looking for hackers with the skills:

First day results aren't that great. While I can communicate fine with my Redfish test system, I've learned that hard way that the one thing Redfish can't do well out of the box is exactly what I was planning to do: Mount a remote ISO to boot from it. There are vendor-specific extensions in some of the very latest Redfish implementations, but this really sucks a bit. :-(

Mammuthus - The NFS-Ganesha inside Kubernetes controller by vcheng
Description
As the user-space NFS provider, the NFS-Ganesha is wieldy use with serval projects. e.g. Longhorn/Rook. We want to create the Kubernetes Controller to make configuring NFS-Ganesha easy. This controller will let users configure NFS-Ganesha through different backends like VFS/CephFS.
Goals
- Create NFS-Ganesha Package on OBS: nfs-ganesha5, nfs-ganesha6
- Create NFS-Ganesha Container Image on OBS: Image
- Create a Kubernetes controller for NFS-Ganesha and support the VFS configuration on demand. Mammuthus
