<br>
I'll get right into the point.<br>
<br>
At the moment, the Puppet OpenStack modules don't have much<br>
contributors which can help maintain the Ubuntu support. We deploy on<br>
CentOS (so we try to get all the fixes in that we can) and there is a<br>
lot of activity from the TripleO team as well which does their<br>
deployments on CentOS which means that the CentOS support is very<br>
reliable and CI is always sought after.<br>
<br>
However, starting a while back, we started seeing occasional failures<br>
with Ubuntu deploys which lead us set the job to non-voting. At the<br>
moment, the Puppet integration jobs for Ubuntu are always failing<br>
because of some Tempest issue. This means that with every Puppet<br>
change, we're wasting ~80 minutes of CI run time for a job that will<br>
always fail.<br>
<br>
We've had a lot of support from the packaging team at RDO (which are<br>
used in Puppet deployments) and they run our integration before<br>
promoting packages which makes it helpful in finding issues together.<br>
However, we do not have that with Ubuntu neither has there been anyone<br>
who is taking initiative to look and investigate those issues.<br>
<br>
I understand that there are users out there who use Ubuntu with Puppet<br>
OpenStack modules. We need your help to come and try and clear those<br>
issues out. We'd be more than happy to give assistance to lead you in<br>
the right way to help fix those issues.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, if we don't have any folks stepping up to resolving<br>
this, we'll be forced to drop all CI for Ubuntu and make a note to<br>
users that Ubuntu is not fully tested and hope that as users run into<br>
issues, they can contribute fixes back (or that someone can work on<br>
getting Ubuntu gating working again).<br>
<br>
Thanks for reading through this, I am quite sad that we'd have to drop<br>
support for such a major operating system, but there's only so much we<br>
can do with a much smaller team.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Mohammed<br>
