[tripleo] Removing the `openstack overcloud plan *` commands
by Dougal Matthews 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

Hey all, While doing work on the Mistral to Ansible port I was looking at the openstack overcloud plan commands. These are; - openstack overcloud plan create - openstack overcloud plan delete - openstack overcloud plan deploy - openstack overcloud plan list - openstack overcloud plan export I believe none of these commands make sense in a post-TripleO UI world. There is no other way to interact and update a plan. Deploys are always done via "openstack overcloud deploy" and this deletes the contents of the plan container and repopulates it with the local files[1]. I am therefore proposing that we remove these commands and skip the normal deprecation process. https://review.opendev.org/#/c/704581/1 What do you think? Thanks, Dougal [1]: https://github.com/openstack/python-tripleoclient/blob/3c589979ceb05d732b3c…

horizon: Trailing spaces removed on passwords
by Orestes Leal Rodríguez 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

>From the dashboard openstack is removing the trailing spaces from our user's passwords. We have a modified sql.py backend, that does an ldap bind to an active directory data store. And that works almost always. I say almost because for some users it doesn't work at all. We figure out (and a co-worker also confirmed this) that openstack is removing trailing (also leading?) spaces from the password entered in the dashboard. Also, inside the dashboard trailing spaces are not accepted even when they are equal byte by byte (including the space, I get an error). So this is going on. Do anybody knows where is this removal performed? (python script location, line) So I can remove that since I have users (me included, I have the issue since the very beginning of this deployment) that cannot login. And they can use their Active Directrory passwords from other apps without problem. We are running 'stein' with the latest update for ubuntu 18.04-AMD64.

by Chris Morgan 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Meeting minutes for today's meeting are linked below. This was our first meeting since the very successful (or so I am told) Ops Meetup in London earlier this month, for which the agenda is here https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/LON-2020-OPS-AGENDA and the feedback was collected here https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/LON-2020-OPS-FEEDBACK the meetups team is now turning to looking into what we can arrange for operators at the Vancouver opendev+ptg event and then a second full ops meetup in south korea in september. Watch this space!

[barbican] TPM2.0 backend
by Balázs Gibizer 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Hi, Looking at the Barbican documentation I see that the secrets can be stored on disk (SimpleCrypto backend) or in a HW vendor specific HSM module. Is there a way to use a TPM 2.0 device as the backend of Barbican via something like [1]? Cheers, gibi [1] https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-pkcs11

[trio2o] Current state, community interest, alternatives
by Vladimir Kozhukalov 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Hi, I am currently looking for a open source solution that is able to expose a single API endpoint for a user to multiple Openstack instances. Partly the idea behind is to stop investing efforts into tuning of Openstack to make it scalable and instead to deploy a bunch of small Openstack regions (say ~100 nodes) and work with them via API frontend. I am aware of Nova Cells, but it is complicated and Nova is not the only Openstack component that needs scaling. All these ad hoc tuning like dedicated RabbitMQ instances just make the system barely maintainable and it is complicated to reproduce. Requirements for a possible solution are: - Single authentication point (I know this is simple and can be for example SAML based federation) - Single point to manage keys and quotas - Possibly L2 connectivity between VMs in different Openstack instances (I know this can be achieved using VPNs, but this is kinda too complicated for a user) - Ability to work with different Openstack versions (need for gradual upgrade) I know Huawei and others implemented PoC for Openstack cascading and then invested some efforts in Trio2o and Tricircle. Tricircle is about cascading Neutron and IMO it is better to use a scalable SDN (like TangstenFabric or OVN). Trio2o looks like what I actually need, but the community interest around Trio2o is very limited (frankly, it looks almost dead). Last few weeks I was experimenting with Trio2o and Devstack with Stein release. It looks working, but the functionality is limited. Is there anyone who is interested in reviving Trio2o and investing into it? Maybe there are other solutions that I am not aware of? -- Best regards, Kozhukalov Vladimir
