<p>Hey all,<br>
<br>
We do use kolla. Let me see if I can shed some light here.<br>

I added AArch64 (64-bit ARM) architecture support to<br>
Kolla project. Side effect of that work was adding
ppc64le (64-bit<br>
Power, Little Endian) support.<br>
<br>
Time passed, from time to time someone jumped to the
irc channel and<br>
said that they use it. No one in core team spent much
time on supporting<br>
it as it was outside of our interest.<br>
<br>
From time to time I was reserving Power machine in Red
Hat to do build<br>
and check how we are with ppc64le support. This week I
did that again.<br>
<br>
From 3 distributions we target only Debian/source
combo was buildable.<br>
<br>
CentOS builds lack 'rabbitmq' 3.7.10 (we use external
repo) and<br>
'gnocchi' binary images are not buildable due to lack
of some packages<br>
(issue already reported to CentOS by TripleO team).<br>

<p>We should be getting the gnocchi issue fixed. See this thread
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2019-September/017721.html">https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2019-September/017721.html</a><br>
The rabbitmq issue is confusing me. The version provided for
x86_64 seems to be the same one provided for ppc64le, but maybe
I'm missing something. If there's a package we need to get
published, I can investigate.<br>

Ubuntu builds lack MariaDB 10.3 because upstream repo
is broken.<br>
Packages index is provided for 'ppc64le' but no
packages so we get 404<br>
errors.<br>

Due to all those issues and fact that there are no
users of ppc64le<br>
Kolla containers I want to drop support for it in this
cycle. Any<br>
objections?<br>

<div>I think TripleO uses the ppc64le containers. I'm
unsure if we're relying on anything special to build
them however. I know there's been some effort to get
a pp64le upstream build system going. ccing Wes as he
might have the status on this.</div>

<div>The TripleO team is working on ppc64le right now and
should be uploading ppc64le containers to <a
href="http://docker.io" moz-do-not-send="true">docker.io</a>
in a few weeks. I'm pretty sure the ppc team is using kolla
to build the containers, but I'm not 100% sure as the
ppc64le container build jobs are in a 3rd party ci system.</div>

Just to clarify, the builds happen here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ci.centos.org/job/tripleo-upstream-containers-build-master-ppc64le/">https://ci.centos.org/job/tripleo-upstream-containers-build-master-ppc64le/</a><br>
We are using kolla with buildah. The Dockerfiles are generated by
kolla and then consumed by buildah.<br>
<br>
Logs can be found here as well -

<p>The question I have is, what do you need to maintain support? I
can join this week's IRC meeting if that would be helpful.<br>
<br>
Also, last week mnasiadka reached out to me asking if we might be
able to turn on kolla jobs in pkvmci (our third party CI -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ThirdPartySystems/IBMPowerKVMCI">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ThirdPartySystems/IBMPowerKVMCI</a> ).
I plan to talk to our CI folks this week to see if we have
capacity for this.<br>
