[Tacker] [Mistral] Regarding Inputs in Network Service Descriptors
by Nehal Bansal 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi, I have been trying to create a Network Service Descriptor which takes flavor, image, network_name as inputs from a parameter file and then passes it on to the VNF Descriptor but so far my attempts have been unsuccessful. Is there a standard template available because I could not find even a single one which took image_name or flavor_name from a parameter file. Thank you. Regards, Nehal Bansal

[all] [tc] PDF goal change
by Alexandra Settle 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi all, Further work on the PDF generation showed that many projects have project logos as svg files with the name PROJECT.svg, those get converted to PROJECT.pdf and collide with the default name used here. We have now changed the default to "doc-PROJECT.pdf" to have a unique name. The review [1] merged yesterday, so please be aware of this change when you are working on the goal. Thanks, Alex [1] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/679777 -- Alexandra Settle <a.settle(a)outlook.com> IRC: asettle

[ops] Introducing Waldur - open-source platform for openstack operators
by Andres Toomsalu 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

I would like to introduce open-source Waldur platform - targeted for openstack cloud operators and implementing service delivery pipeline towards end customers. It uses modular approach and has the following core features: * integrated marketplace and self-service for the end users (REST API and webapp) * built-in accounting, integrations with backend billing systems and payment gateways * built-in customer support/servicedesk functionality and integrations with backend servicedesk systems (Atlassian Servicedesk for example) * built-in organisation membership and user management * multi-cloud (ie multiple openstack API endpoints) support inside customer project containers This diagram provides overview about available modules and their relations: https://waldur.com/assets/doc/waldur-diagram.pdf Waldur openstack support is fairly mature - it has been successfully used in production deployments since 2015. Its web-based self-service for end users implements somewhat opiniated openstack tenant and resource management - based on our real-world experience and some best practices delivered from it. But also Horizon access provisioning and out-of-band tenant changes sync are supported. More details about Waldur platform and its openstack support can be found here: https://waldur.com/#openstack Source code is available from OpenNode github repositories: https://github.com/opennode/waldur-mastermind https://github.com/opennode/waldur-homeport Documentation is available here: http://docs.waldur.com All the best, Andres Toomsalu andres at opennodeloud.com

[openstack-ansible] weekly office hours
by Mohammed Naser 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi everyone, Here’s the update of what happened in this week’s OpenStack Ansible Office Hours. - The 42.3 clean up and job state matrix are still pending. - We decided to retire Ocata and are thinking of retiring Pike since they are not being used or maintained anymore. - We also discussed the future of OSA. We noticed a lot of operators are going more towards containers or kubernetes and the contributions and traction for OSA have decreased, so we’re wondering if we should start thinking about adopting a new direction in the future. I suggest that you read the eavesdrop for the last point and would like to ask for input. Thanks!

[cyborg][election][ptl] PTL candidacy for Ussuri
by Nadathur, Sundar 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hello all, I would like to announce my candidacy for the PTL role of Cyborg for the Ussuri cycle. I have been involved with Cyborg since 2018 Rocky PTG, and have had the privilege of serving as Cyborg PTL for the Train cycle. In the Train cycle, Cyborg saw some important developments. We reached an agreement on integration with Nova at the PTG, and the spec that I wrote based on that agreement has been merged. We have seen new developers join the community. We have seen existing Cyborg drivers getting updated and new Cyborg drivers being proposed. We are also in the process of developing a tempest plugin for Cyborg. In the U cycle, I'd aim to build on this foundation. While we may support a certain set of VM operations with accelerators with Nova in Train, we can expand on that set in U. We should also focus on Day 2 operations like performance monitoring and health monitoring for accelerator devices. I would like to formalize and expand on the driver addition/development process. Thank you for your support. Regards, Sundar

[kolla-ansible] Correct way to add/remove nodes.
by Eddie Yen 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hi, I wanna know the correct way to add/remove nodes since I can't find the completely document or tutorial about this part. Here's what I know for now. For addition: 1. Install OS and setting up network on new servers. 2. Add new server's information into /etc/hosts and inventory file 3. Do bootstrapping to these servers by using bootstrap-servers with --limit option 4. (For Ceph OSD node) Add disk label to the disks that will become OSD. 5. Deploy again. For deletion (Compute): 1. Do migration if there're VMs exist on target node. 2. Set nova-compute service down on target node. Then remove the service from nova cluster. 3. Disable all Neutron agents on target node and remove from Neutron cluster. 4. Using kolla-ansible to stop all containers on target node. 5. Cleanup all containers and left settings by using cleanup-containers and cleanup-host script. For deletion (Ceph OSD node): 1. Remove all OSDs on target node by following Ceph tutorial. 2. Using kolla-ansible to stop all containers on target node. 3. Cleanup all containers and left settings by using cleanup-containers and cleanup-host script. Now I'm not sure about Controller if there's one controller down and want to add another one into HA cluster. My thought is that add into cluster first, then delete the informations about corrupted controller. But I have no clue about the details. Only about Ceph controller (mon, rgw, mds,. etc) Does anyone has experience about this? Many thanks, Eddie.

[manila][ptl] Non-candidacy for the Ussuri Cycle
by Tom Barron 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

I want to thank the Manila community for allowing me to serve as PTL for the last three cycles, but it is time for us to change it up! I know it's late for this announcement, but I wanted first to make sure that I won't be leaving an unfilled vacancy and events conspired such that that took longer than anticipated :) So stay tuned for an announcment shortly of a nomination for a new PTL for Ussuri -- I'm sure you'll be as pleased as I am with what you'll read. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be working on Manila itself and helping the new PTL, as well as working with actual Manila deployments and the use of Manila as open infrastructure by adjacent communities. Thanks again! -- Tom Barron
