Don't set 'py_modules=[]' unless you know what you're doing
by Stephen Finucane 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Bit of PSA. I've a seen a number of tox4 fixup-related patches where people are adding the following to the 'setup.py' file: py_modules=[] If you're thinking about doing this, please stop. If you recently did this, consider proposing a patch to it again [*]. It's not doing what you think it is. This value should only be set for projects that do not actually distribute any Python code as part of their sdist (for example: puppet modules). Assuming you're not in this category, what you're actually seeing is a bug [1] which requires a fix in pbr [2]. This is a fix for pbr that means the pbr machinery will correctly function under tox4. This should be released very soon. Stephen [*] This obviously can't merge until the pbr fix is released.

[ops] QOS on flavor breaking live migration from CentOS 7 to 8
by Jahson Babel 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Hello, I'm trying to live migrate some VMs from CentOS 7 to Rocky 8. Everything run smoothly when there is no extra specs on flavors but things getting more complicated when those are fixed. Especially when using quota:vif_burst for QOS. I know that we aren't supposed to use this for QOS now but it's an old cluster and it was done that way at the time. So VMs kinda have all those specs tied to them. When live migrate a VM this show up in the nova's logs : driver.py _live_migration_operation nova.virt.libvirt.driver Live Migration failure: internal error: Child process (tc class add dev tapxxxxxxxx-xx parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 250000kbps ceil 2000000kbps burst 60000000kb quantum 21333) unexpected exit status 1: Illegal "burst" This bug cover the problem : https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1960840 So it's seems to be a normal behavior. Plus I forgot to mention that I'm on OpenStack Train version and the file mentioned in the launchpad is not present for this version. By using Rocky 8 I have to use an updated libvirt that won't accept the burst parameter we used to set. All available versions of libvirt on Rocky 8 have changed behavior concerning the burst parameter. I've done some testing to make things works including removing the extra_specs on flavors and in the DB, removing it through libvirt and trying to modify tc rules used by a VM but it didn't worked. I have not tried yet to patch Nova or Libvirt but I don't really know where to look for. The only thing that did work was to resize the VM to an identical flavor without the extra_specs. But this induce a complete reboot of the VM. I would like, if possible, to be able to live migrate the VMs which is quite easier. Is it possible to remove the extra_specs on the VMs and then live migrate ? Or should I just plan to resize/reboot all VMs without those extra_specs ? Any advise will be appreciated. Thank you for any help, Best regards. Jahson

Hello Stephen, Yes, OpenStack does support USB passthrough. You can pass through USB devices to instances running in OpenStack by using the nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtGenericVIFDriver driver and the qemu:commandline option in the nova.conf file.

2023 PTGs + Virtual Team Signup
by Kendall Nelson 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Hello Everyone! The next PTG on the calendar will be our usual virtual format and it will take place March 27 -31 right after the 2023.1 release. The project signup survey is already ready to go! If your team is interested in participating, sign them up here[1]! Registration is also open now[2] We have also heard many requests from the contributor community to bring back in person events and also heard that with global travel reduction, it would be better travel wise for the community at large to combine it with the OpenInfra Summit[3]. So, an in-person PTG will take place Wednesday and Thursday! June 14 -15th. OpenInfra Summit registration will be required to participate, and contributor pricing and travel support[4] will be available. We will also be planning another virtual PTG in the latter half of the year. The exact date is still being finalized. This will give you three opportunities to get your team together in 2023: two virtual and one in-person. - Virtual: March 27-31 - In- Person: June 14-15 collocated with the OpenInfra Summit - Virtual: TBD, but second half of the year As any project in our community, you are free to take advantage of all or some of the PTGs this coming year. I, for one, hope to see you and your project at as many as make sense for your team! To make sure we are as inclusive as possible I will continue to encourage team moderators to write summaries of their discussions to gather and promote after the events as well. Stay tuned for more info as we get closer, but the team signup survey[1] has opened for the first virtual PTG and is ready for you! -Kendall (diablo_rojo) [1] https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/march2023_vptg_survey [2] https://openinfra-ptg.eventbrite.com [3]https://openinfra.dev/summit/vancouver-2023 [4] https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openinfra_tsp

[cloudkitty] Instances billing based on tags
by Satish Patel 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Folks, We have an AWS project and in a single project we run multiple customers so for billing we use tags. In short every vm instance has a tag (customer name) and that way we can produce bills for each customer. Recently I am playing with openstack cloudkitty and it works with standard cases like project based billing. But does it support tags based billing just similar to what i have explained in the above aws example?

[nova][keystone] workload identity?
by Mohammed Naser 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Hi folks: I’m wondering if there’s anyone who’s had some thought or perhaps some work/progress/thoughts on workload identity (example service accounts for VMs) — is that something that’s really far away for us? Has someone thought about outlining what’s needed? Thanks Mohammed -- Mohammed Naser VEXXHOST, Inc.

[nova][placement] Specs freeze will be on Jan 12th
by Sylvain Bauza 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Hey, As we didn't have a quorum for today's meeting, I prefer to move our deadline for freezing the Antelope accepted specs by one week, instead of this Thursday. This means we will continue to review open specs until January the 12th. That being said, as a reminder, our Feature Freeze is on February 16th [1] which means we will only have *five* weeks for reviewing all the implementations, so please start to work on your feature branch and don't wait for your spec to be accepted or we wouldn't have time for reviewing all the open features. Thanks, -Sylvain [1] https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/schedule.html#a-ff
