work-in-progress for removing the in-tree provider. This work, being done in conjunction with SIG Cloud Provider, is focusing on moving internal APIs that the OpenStack (and other providers) depends upon to staging to guarantee API stability. This work also included abstracting the in-tree Cinder API and refactoring code to the external Cinder provider to remove additional Cinder volume provider code.

Additional work was also done to implement an OpenStack driver for the Cluster API effort lead...

  Depending on the value returned from QueueingHintFn, the scheduling queue changes how it queues each Pod:
  - if more than one QueueingHintFn returns QueueImmediately, it queues Pod to activeQ.
  - If no QueueingHintFn returns QueueImmediately and more than one plugin returns QueueAfterBackoff, it queues Pod to backoffQ if Pod is backing off, or to activeQ if Pod's backoff has already finished.

    * --alpha-endpoint-reconciler-type=(master-count, lease, none) (default
    * "master-count"). The original reconciler is 'master-count'. The 'lease'
    * reconciler uses the storageapi and a TTL to keep alive an endpoint within the
