Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Wilson is a Solutions Architect with 13 years of experience designing and scaling large cloud and datacenter environments, currently driving OpenStack-to-Kubernetes transformation and automation at Adobe from Lehi, Utah. He blends hands-on systems engineering with strategic architecture work—previously leading enterprise OpenStack design and underlay automation at Mirantis that cut deployment times for AT&T from weeks to days. Mike has deep operational pedigree from large-scale deployments (Bluehost, LDS Church) and a history of upstream contributions to OpenStack Nova to offload read workloads to DB slaves for better scalability. He excels at translating complex infrastructure requirements into repeatable, upgradeable platforms while mentoring teams and managing cross-functional launches. Not obviously stated: he moves fluidly between low-level operational optimization (SELinux, DDoS mitigation, MySQL clusters) and high-level cloud vision, making him effective across the stack.

Contributions summary:Mike primarily focused on enhancing the OpenStack Nova compute service by enabling the use of database slaves for periodic tasks, improving performance and scalability. They modified code to allow tasks like `_sync_power_states`, `_poll_unconfirmed_resizes`, `_heal_instance_info_cache`, and others to read from a database slave. The contributions also included changes to instance object management and the addition of features to use the slave database for instance polling and bandwidth usage calculations. These improvements aimed to distribute the database load for read operations.
