Frontend Team's 2017

The year is coming to an end, all the 🎁 lie under the 🎄 and the 🍾 is already cold for 🎆. Being the good agile folks that we are, we think this is the perfect time to reflect on 2017. On all the code, the bugs and fixes, features and refactorings, the tunes and adjustments we have introduced to our code base, process and tool belt. Not only to trace the steps of our journey, but also to get ideas how to become more effective in 2018.

So let’s look at some of the highlights that have happened this year. Bear with us, this is a very long post, but one worth reading, promised!

Welcome SUSE Studio Express Users!

A couple of days ago (September 22, 2017) SUSE, one of our main contributors, announced that they will deprecate their SUSE Studio Online service and encourage people to use OBS instead. Studio is an web application that makes it easy to build a custom operating system as a virtual machine, raw/DVD/USB hard disk images. It is basically a frontend for the awesome KIWI command line app.

Two New Guides for Builders

Over the past couple of weeks, we, the SUSE documentation team, have been working on refreshing and restructuring the OBS documentation a bit. The goal (as it always is) was to make it easier for you, the users, to find the right information faster.

Post-mortem: Extended Deployment time on June 30, 2017

On June 30, 2017 we had an extended deployment time of roughly 45 minutes for our reference server because of a couple of problems with one of the data migrations. We implemented a new feature, user notifications via RSS, that included a migration of data in our database. This migration was broken, causing this deployment to go terribly wrong.

The frontend team afterward met to do a post-mortem to identify the problems, solutions and possible take aways for the future. This is the first post-mortem meeting we held, hopefully but not likely the last. Here goes the report.
