[tripleo] puppetlabs-apache: soon a just a bad memory?
by Cédric Jeanneret 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Hello Community! TLDR; puppetlabs-apache broke us so many times, I'm proposing a way to get rid of it, using plain ansible. Some work is needed, but it's "easy", and will allow us to keep a hand on the whole configuration code. Longer version: You probably saw mails about issues with puppetlabs-apache releases breaking the CI (and, by extension, TripleO). Over and over and over again. Well, good news: this may be just a bad memory - though it will require some work :). I've been working on a couple of ansible roles[1] in order to just get the needed pieces we really need in TripleO: file generation. Once we get those 2 roles in, we'll be able to switch, service by service, away from puppet management for apache/httpd. There's already an on-going example[2] with ironic. Of course, as you can see, there's some work to do, even on the puppet side. But it's not really complicated, and can be done quickly. I'll do my best to move things, but be prepared to get pings from time to time if help is needed. I can't do all by myself, can I? ;) And if anyone wants to jump in and work on the transition, please do, and don't hesitate to reach to me, either by mail, or on #tripleo - I go there as Tengu.

[tripleo] Switching to nftables - it's coming soon!
by Cédric Jeanneret 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Hello there, TLDR; we're about to switch to nftables[1], there are some changes described in the up-to-date doc. Reason is: faster, more modern interface, close to no possibility to get locked out of the system. Also, once it's switched, please use `nft list ruleset' instead of `iptables -L'. [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-heat-templates/+/852808 Longer version: I've been working a good amount of time in order to get rid of the current tripleo_iptables custom action. On of the reasons here was the fact we could get locked out the overcloud if, for any reason, a network reset happens in ansible during the application of the rules. For the records, tripleo_iptables is calling the native "iptables" module from ansible, just doing a batching of the ruleset in an attempt to apply everything faster. It has some weird things, such as reversing the rule order before applying them using the "insert" action, meaning it will lock everything first, then open one by one the accesses. Knowing "ssh" is like 003 rule, you can imagine how things can go wrong. So, I took the opportunity to make some changes. While doing so, I saw `iptables' was just a compatibility wrapper for nftables - basically, `iptables' is a symlink to `iptables-nft', so I also took the opportunity to bypass it, and go straight for `nft'. Doing so, I created a new tripleo_nftables role in tripleo-ansible project; it's "just" creating files based on templates, then validates the whole lot of files, and applies all the rules in one single transaction. Compared to tripleo_iptables, it's really more robust, while being faster, and less prone to lock out and other unwanted things. The current state is: we're close, really close to switch things up. We're missing 2 patches in the CI to make the infra properly supported, and then, there's "the" switch itself. What will change: almost nothing: the way we create rules in tripleo-heat-templates and the different parameters therein doesn't change at all; the thing that will really change is the way to list the rules: instead of calling `iptables -vnL' or the like, you'll need to call `nft list ruleset'. Now, in order to make things easier, the doc is already up-to-date: https://docs.openstack.org/project-deploy-guide/tripleo-docs/latest/feature… As you will see, there will be some differences in the actual layout: all of the tripleo rules will be in dedicated chains, prefixed by TRIPLEO_ - for instance, TRIPLEO_INPUT, TRIPLEO_OUTPUT, TRIPLEO_FORWARD, and so on. This allows to get a cleaner layout, cleaner way to filter the output and, really important thing, to ensure we're cleaning dangling rules - the TRIPLEO_* chains will be flushed before the ruleset are added. All in one single transaction. Some more information/content: tripleo_nftables role: https://opendev.org/openstack/tripleo-ansible/src/branch/master/tripleo_ans… Doc: https://docs.openstack.org/project-deploy-guide/tripleo-docs/latest/feature… Debug files available in the CI: log of dropped packets: https://logserver.rdoproject.org/54/31954/87/check/periodic-tripleo-ci-cent… nftables configuration dump: https://logserver.rdoproject.org/54/31954/87/check/periodic-tripleo-ci-cent… nftables configuration: https://logserver.rdoproject.org/54/31954/87/check/periodic-tripleo-ci-cent… All of that can help understanding the potential issues you may encounter. As a side note, we've been testing the whole thing for about a month now, correcting issues, updating the doc and making sure at least all of the current CI jobs (yes: ALL) are green without any weird behavior. A doc has been created in order to list the current state, with what we've seen, what we've done: https://hackmd.io/F0W2gYw_SiaiWkowjFU9cw?view#NFTABLES-testing-results Brace yourself, the change is coming :). But it should be transparent ;). -- Cédric Jeanneret (He/Him/His) Sr. Software Engineer - OpenStack Platform Deployment Framework TC Red Hat EMEA https://www.redhat.com/

[baremetal-sig][ironic] Future of baremetal-sig
by Jay Faulkner 13 Sep '22

13 Sep '22

Stackers, An item came up in the Ironic meeting today regarding the future of the baremetal sig. Essentially, Arne was doing great work sourcing talks for it, but now he's going to be unable to continue hosting it and proactively sourcing talks. (A seriously big thanks is owed to Arne for doing a great job on this!) This led us to wonder if BM SIG in its current form remains sustainable. Some options we can consider include: - Keep the BM SIG as-is, cancel it months where there's not a talk available. - Change the BM SIG meetings to more of a meetup style for operators to talk about Ironic - Something else entirely we haven't thought about yet. What do you all think? - Jay Faulkner
