[election][ptl][Octavia] Candidacy for 2023.2 Bobcat
by Gregory Thiemonge 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hi, I would like to announce my candidacy for Octavia PTL for the Bobcat release. I have been PTL since the Xena cycle and I want to continue to contribute to this role. For the Bobcat release I would like to focus on important internal tasks, such as completing the SQLAlchemy 2 migration and moving from python-neutronclient to openstacksdk. I would like also to improve the amphorav2 driver by analyzing and optimizing the SQL queries (we know we're doing many DB calls). Thanks for your consideration, Gregory Thiemonge (gthiemonge)

Live migration to host with advanced cpu results in instance inheriting incorrect cpu_model, even when overridden in nova.conf
by Andy Speagle 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hey Folks, We have a number of nodes in our openstack cluster who have the same family CPU (IvyBridge-IBRS) ... and one advanced CPU (Broadwell-IBRS). We have set the cpu_mode to custom and overridden the cpu_model to IvyBridge-IBRS so that all of the hosts would be compatible. This seems to work for instances started on the advanced host... we can live migrate off of the host. But... when we live migrate instances TO the advanced host... they seem to inherit the wrong CPU type. Example: If I live migrated onto the advanced host and then try to live migrate off of it... nova-compute logs on the older host throw: Error: Migration pre-check error: Unacceptable CPU info: CPU doesn't have compatibility. And the output clearly shows that it thinks it was launched on the Broadwell CPU: Instance launched has CPU info: {"arch": "x86_64", "model": "Broadwell- IBRS", "vendor": "Intel" ... With that instance on the advanced host, if I restart it... magically it comes up with the correct cpu_model and can be live migrated off... We're running ussuri ... does anyone know if this is known behavior? Could I have a misconfiguration somewhere? Thanks. -- Andy Speagle

[election][tc] TC candidacy for 2023
by Brian Rosmaita 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hello OpenStack Community, I am declaring my candidacy for a second term on the Technical Committee. I've been working on OpenStack since Folsom and currently serve as a core reviewer for the Glance and Cinder projects. In the past, I've been PTL of Glance and Cinder, and I am just now completing my first term on the Technical Committee. As I said last time, I don't have an agenda other than to represent active technical contributors to OpenStack and to participate in the TC in a manner consistent with its charter. Additionally, during my first term, I have been working with the OpenStack i18n SIG to refresh the translations infrastructure, and I would like to continue that work into the Bobcat development cycle. Thank you for considering my candidacy for the OpenStack Technical Committee. - Brian Rosmaita (rosmaita)

[election][ptl][openstack-ansible] Candidacy for 2023.2 Bobcat
by Dmitriy Rabotyagov 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hello everyone! I would like to announce my candidacy for the role of PTL of OpenStack-Ansible during the Bobcat/2023.2 cycle. I have been serving as the OpenStack PTL for quite a while now so with announcing my candidacy I also want to encourage other active contributors to participate in elections for keeping a healthy community and plurality of opinions in the project leadership. For the next cycle I would like to focus project development on: * Implementing SLURP upgrades both in terms of CI testing and upgrade script adjustment * Continue integration and improvement of PKI role with services * Keep up with latest supported versions of infrastructure software, like MariaDB, RabbitMQ and Ansible * Have progress on better functional testing of different scenarios for roles * Improve timing for our releases by decreasing the gap between OpenStack coordinated release and OSA trailing one. Thank you for your consideration!

[election][ptl][manila] Candidacy for 2023.2 Bobcat
by Carlos Silva 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hello everyone! I would like to announce my candidacy for the role of PTL of Manila during the Bobcat/2023.2 cycle. I have been serving as the Manila PTL for 2 cycles in a row and I would like to continue serving as PTL to this amazing community. During the last two cycles we have been focusing on closing the feature gap between the core of Manila and OpenStack Client, SDK and Manila UI, as well as engaging and encouraging contributor participation through mentoring and promoting collaborative activities, focusing on tech debt, and enhancing the tests coverage for various areas of Manila. We have also been putting efforts on making sure that relevant new features, fixes and enhancements are landing every single release. For the next cycle I would like to continue the great work we have been doing so far, but also have some focus on: * Continue encouraging active maintainers to actively do reviews so we can enhance our review bandwidth; mentor people to become core reviewers, as well as promote and participate in mentoring opportunities such as Outreachy, GHC and so on. * Continue to promote events like hackathons or bug squashes that will not only help us to achieve our goals such as enhancing our functional tests coverage and reduce the bug stats, but will also strengthen the community and get contributors to collaborate and create great learning opportunities. * Continue past cycles efforts to collaboratively cover the lack of documentation we have on third party CI setups for Manila, helping potential new vendors to quickly set up their CI systems. * Pursue the remaining changes keeping us from starting the deprecation of manilaclient in favor of the OpenStack client. Thank you for your consideration! Carlos da Silva IRC: carloss

[openstack-helm] switching to using service's user for requests
by Mohammed Naser 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hi team, I'm wondering if it makes sense for us to make a change in all of OpenStack Helm's code in order to make it use the service user for all requests. For example, right now, we are using the placement user in the `[placement]` section in Neutron, or the Neutron user in the `[neutron]` section in Nova. However, all of these users have the same exact role and permissions, so I believe it would help a lot in locking down services (let's say placement gets compromised, you can lock it's user only). I also think it will significantly simplify all of our code for endpoints for the different services, since we'll just be re-using the same credentials. Let me know what everyone thinks. Thanks, Mohammed -- Mohammed Naser VEXXHOST, Inc.

Hello OpenStack community, I would like to announce my candidacy for PTL of Designate for the Bobcat cycle. I would like to continue to support the Designate team for the Bobcat release. For the Antelope release, we have continued our code stability work and focused development on a major new feature "Shared Zones". Looking forward to the Bobcat development cycle I expect to see a lot of work around updating for SQLAlchemy 2.x and introducing the "catalog zones" feature. Thank you for your support and your consideration for Bobcat, Michael Johnson (johnsom)

[skyline] Is there a billing module available to integrate with Skyline?
by Roger Rivera 13 Feb '23

13 Feb '23

Hello, Skyline seems like an awesome contribution. We noticed there are price references on the video presentation of the Skyline dashboard. Does anybody know if there is an existing billing module that integrates with Skyline to add this functionality as seen in the bottom part of the screenshot? Any guidance to make this would be highly appreciated. Thank you -- *Roger Rivera*
