[largescale-sig] Status update
by Thierry Carrez 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Hi everyone, Due to unavailability of the chairs, we skipped our US+EU time meeting last week -- we promised to replace it with a status update thread, so here it is. Regarding the OpenInfra Live episode, we have some interest from Société Générale to participate in the next Deep Dive. I'll try to confirm it this week. Regarding future events, we planned to run a Forum session at the OpenInfra Summit in Vancouver, as those are always well-attended. I'll submit it to the CFP this week. Our next IRC meeting will be next week, March 8, at 0900utc on #openstack-operators on OFTC. Other members of the SIG, feel free to add more detail in response to this thread! Regards, -- Thierry Carrez

[openstack-dev][CLI] How to set NoneType in openstack CLI's json format string?
by Simon Jones 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Hi all, I'm using openstack command like this, and got error: ``` gyw@c1:~$ openstack port create --network selfservice --vnic-type remote-managed \ > --binding-profile '{"pci_vendor_info": None, "pci_slot": None, "physical_network": None, "card_serial_number": "AB0123XX0042", "pf_mac_address": "08:c0:eb:8e:bd:f8", "vf_num":1, "vnic_type": "remote-managed"}' \ > pf0vf0 Expected '<key>=<value>' or JSON data for option --binding-profile, but encountered JSON parsing error: Expecting value: line 1 column 21 (char 20) ``` So how to set "pci_vendor_info" to NoneType of python in openstack CLI's json format string? BTW, "NoneType of python" means the NoneType in python code, like these comment in https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/stable/yoga/neutron/common/ovn/ut… ``` # With this example param_set: # # param_set = { # 'do_not_check_this_key': None, # 'pci_slot': [str], # 'physical_network': [str, type(None)] # } # # We confirm that each binding_profile key is of one of the listed types, # allowing validation of polymorphic entries. # # 'physical_network' is polymorphic because: When a VNIC_REMOTE_MANAGED or # VNIC_DIRECT with PORT_CAP_SWITCHDEV capability port is attached to a # project network backed by an overlay (tunneled) network the value will be # 'None'. For the case of ports attached to a project network backed by # VLAN the value will be of type ``str``. This comes from Nova and is # provided in the ``physical_network`` tag in the Nova PCI Passthrough # configuration. # # In the above example the type of the value behind 'do_not_check_this_key' # will not be checked, 'pci_slot' must be ``str``, 'physical_network must # be either ``str`` or ``NoneType``. ``` Thank you~ ---- Simon Jones

[heat][tripleo][governance] Governance of os-*-config and future of software deployment feature
by Takashi Kajinami 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Hello, tl;dr Can we move os-(apply|collect|refresh)-config to Heat's governance ? Currently we have the following three repositories maintained under the TripleO's governance. - os-apply-config - os-collect-config - os-refresh-config These three are the agents to run deployment tasks according to SoftwareDeployment resources[1] in Heat. Historically the feature was developed to be used by TripleO, and these agents have been maintained by the TripleO team. However these repositories will be retired as TripleO is being retired[2]. Because the feature itself should be still maintained in heat (especially for stable branches), I'd like to propose migrating these repositories to Heat's governance. I noticed the repository does not have any stable branches after stable/victoria so we likely have to create stable/wallaby and beyond but I'll leave this topic for follow-up. [1] https://docs.openstack.org/heat/latest/template_guide/software_deployment.h… [2] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-February/03208… Thank you, Takashi Kajinami

[puppet] Retiring untested and unmaintained modules (murano, rally and tacker)
by Takashi Kajinami 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Hello, In Puppet OpenStack projects we have multiple modules to support multiple OpenStack components. However unfortunately some of these have not been attracting enough interest from developers and have been unmaintained. During the past few cycles we retired a few incomplete modules but I'm wondering if we can retire a few unmaintained modules now, to reduce our maintenance/release effort. I checked the modules we have currently, and I think the following three can be first candidates. - puppet-murano - puppet-rally - puppet-tacker We haven't seen any feedback from users about these modules for a long time. Most of the changes for the past 2~3 years are proposed by me but I am not really using these components. These modules do not have proper test coverage and it's quite difficult for us to catch any breakage and honestly I'm not quite sure these modules can work properly with the latest code. Actually we've often caught up with the latest requirements several years after the change was made in the software side, and I'm afraid these are not well-maintained. eg. - support for tacker-conductor was added 4 years after the service was added - we didn't noticed that the openstack plugin was split out from the core rally package for several years If anybody has concerns with retiring these modules, then please let us know. If we don't hear any objections for a while, then I'll start proposing changes for project retirement. Thank you, Takashi -- ---------- Takashi Kajinami

by Ghanshyam Mann 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Hello Everyone, Here is this week's summary of the Technical Committee activities. 1. TC Meetings: ============ * We had this week's meeting on Feb 22. Most of the meeting discussions are summarized in this email. The meeting logs are available @ https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/tc/2023/tc.2023-02-22-16.00.log.html * The next TC weekly meeting will be on Mar 1 Wed at 16:00 UTC, Feel free to add the topic to the agenda[1] by Feb 28. 2. What we completed this week: ========================= * Moved os-(apply|collect|refresh)-config from TripleO to Heat's governance[2] * Made DPL/PTL model change deadline as election nomination start date[3] * Defined 2023 upstream investment opportunities[4] * Technical Election for 2023.2 bobcat cycle is completed[5] 3. Activities In progress: ================== TC Tracker for the 2023.1 cycle ------------------------------------- * Current cycle working items and their progress are present in the 2023.1 tracker etherpad[6]. Open Reviews ----------------- * Nine open reviews for ongoing activities[7]. Discussion on guidelines for using the OpenStack/project release version/name in documents -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you might know, last week we merged the guidelines for using the OpenStack coordinated release version and project version in release notes and documents[8]. But there is some discussion going on for standalone projects' use case if the standalone projects can skip using the OpenStack coordinated release version and have only the project version in documents. JayF's proposal is up for review[9]. If your project can also be used as a standalone, this is a good time to feedback on the proposal. Leaderless projects for 2023.2 bobcat cycle ---------------------------------------------------- As the election is closed, we have 9 projects without nominations and 2 with identified leaders[10][11]. I have created the etherpad[12] to track and identify the leaders for the remaining 7 projects. If you are using those projects and interested in maintaining or leading them, this is the right time to step up. The Technical Committee Chair election ----------------------------------------------- As the election has closed, it is time for selecting the TC Chair for the next cycle. I have been serving as Chair for the last 2 years and I am not planning to continue it this cycle. It's time for the new Chair. The election process has been started as per the process[13]. Deprecation process for TripleO -------------------------------------- You might have seen the ML discussion for TripleO deprecation. TripelO team is looking for the volunteer to maintain the stable/zed. If you are interested to help, please reply to James' email[14] Cleanup of PyPI maintainer list for OpenStack Projects ---------------------------------------------------------------- JayF has written the process to clean up the PyPi additional maintainers[15]. And Dmitriy is updating the governance document to explicitly mention about PyPi maintainers policy[16]. Other than that, please continue the audit process[17]. The process to find the less active projects early in the cycle: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No update this week. JayF started the etherpad to collect the data and define the criteria to help in this process[18]. Project updates ------------------- * Add Cinder Huawei charm[19] * Add the woodpecker charm to Openstack charms[20] * mistral adopting PTL model[21] * Add xstatic-angular-fileupload as Horizon team deliverables[22] 4. How to contact the TC: ==================== If you would like to discuss or give feedback to TC, you can reach out to us in multiple ways: 1. Email: you can send the email with tag [tc] on openstack-discuss ML[23]. 2. Weekly meeting: The Technical Committee conduct a weekly meeting every Thursday 15:00 UTC [24] 3.

[manila] Manila Bugsquash (Feb 27th to Mar 3rd)
by Carlos Silva 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Hello Zorillas! We have been planning our bugsquash for a couple of weeks now, and time has come! We have seen a trend on the number of bugs increasing this cycle, and we have identified that we have many bugs that already have a fix proposed but we didn't get those changes merged. Merging such issues would help us to fix those bugs and continue reducing our bug backlog. So for this bugsquash we will be focusing on getting closure for such changes! Vida (vhari) kindly groomed the bugs list [1]. We will be meeting on Monday to have a kick-off call at 16 UTC [2], so we can assign reviewers to the changes or discuss the progress of the changes if that is the case. [1] https://ethercalc.net/8ru5hurhelyl [2] https://bluejeans.com/371190441 Looking forward to see you there! Thank you, carloss
