[nova] Nova Spec review day next Tuesday 6 June
by Sylvain Bauza 06 Jun '23

06 Jun '23

Hey Nova community, As a reminder, you can find the Nova agenda for the 2023.2 Bobcat release here https://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/schedule.html As you can see, we plan to do a round of reviews for all the open specifications in the openstack/nova-specs repository by next Tuesday June 6th. If you're a developer wanting to propose a new feature in Nova and you have been said to provide a spec, or if you know that you need to create a spec, or if you already have an open spec, please make sure to upload/update your file before next Tuesday so we'll look at it. Also, if you can look again on your spec during the day, it would be nice as we could try to discuss your spec during this day. Thanks, -Sylvain

[puppet] puppet module improvements
by Benedikt Trefzer 06 Jun '23

06 Jun '23

Hi all I use the openstack puppet modules to deploy openstack. I'd like to suggest some improvements to the modules and like to know what the community thinks about: 1.) use proper types for parameters Parameter validation is done with 'validate_legacy...' instead of defining the class/resource parameter with a proper type all over the code. I cannot imaging of any advantage not using proper type definitions. Instead using typed parameters would be more efficient an code readability would increase. 2.) params.pp This is the legacy way to define parameter defaults for different OS's. In the modern puppet world a module specific hiera structure is used, which eliminates the need of params.pp class (with inheritance and include). The usage of hiera improves readability and flexibility (every parameter can be overwritten on request, eg. change of packages names etc.) This also eliminate the restriction that the modules can only be used by certain OS'es (osfamily 'RedHat' or 'Debian'). 3.) Eliminate "if OS=='bla' {" statements in code These statements make the code very inflexible. It cannot be overruled if necessary (eg. if I use custom packages to install and do not need the code provided in the if statement). Instead a parameter should be used with a default provided in hiera. Since there is lot of code to change I do not expect this to be done in a single commit (per module) but in steps probably in more than one release cycle. But defining this as best practice for openstack puppet modules and start using above in new commits would bring the code forward. Finally: These are suggestions open for discussion. In no way I like to critic the current state of the puppet modules (which is quite good, but a bit legacy) or the people working on the modules. This is just a feedback/suggestion from an operator using the modules on a daily basis. Regards Benedikt Trefzer

swift container retention
by Geert Geurts 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

Hallo, I've gotten the assignment to implement a backup solution using openstack swift containers. What we want is that the files of customers are kept in the customers own container and for those files to retain their versions on updates of the file. So far so good, this is all possible, and extensively documented online. Now, the second part is more complicated it appears where I thougth this would be a quite common usage example of object storage. I cannot find how I can automagically delete versions of files that are older then X days. There is the X-delete-after header, but this header needs to be added for each transaction. What I want is for all objects in a container to get deleted after X days without having to add a header once the object is uploaded. Does anyone have suggestions on how I could implement this requirement? Please find below a grafical repesentation of what I want Versioning disabled Automated add headers delete-after Versioning enabled Usage on the account of LF Usage on the account of client │ │ │ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ┌────────────────────────┐ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ Versions-container │ │ Current-container │ │ │ │ │ ├────────────────────────┤ ├────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ │ │File1 v123456 │ │ File1 │ │File1 v567899 │ │ File2 │ │ │ │ File3 │ │File3 v234567 │ │ ... │ │ │ │ FileN │ └────────────────────────┘ └─────────────┬──────────┘ ▲ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────┘ Modifications cause current to be moved to Versioned-container Best regards, Geert

Kubernetes Conformance 1.24 + 1.25
by Kendall Nelson 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

Hello All! First of all, I want to say a huge thanks to Guilherme Steinmuller for all his help ensuring that OpenStack Magnum remains Kubernetes Certified [1]! We are certified for v1.24! However, in digging into the set of conformance tests this round, it appears that we will not be able to get 1.25 certified with the current Magnum. This means that in May when we have to re-cert (every 3 months they reach an EOL because that's k8s release cadence) we will not be able to maintain this which is the other part of why I wanted to write this email - to raise awareness and ask for help digging into what needs to happen to make sure we can retain this. Tangentially related, Guilherme has posted a patch with documentation for how to run the conformance tests for yourself and it could use some reviews [2]. And one last thing, I have begun conversation with the opendev folks about what it might take to setup jobs to run the conformance tests periodically so that we don't have to manually run them when it's time to recert. I am planning on submitting a forum topic for this for those interested :) Long live LOKI! - Kendall Nelson [1] https://github.com/cncf/k8s-conformance/pull/2446 [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/magnum/+/849156

Is there any concern to enable 'hw:numa_nodes=1' on all flavors, as long as that flavor can fit into one numa node?

[ironic][stable] Proposing EOL of ironic project branches older than Wallaby
by Jay Faulkner 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Hi all, Ironic has a large amount of stable branches still in EM. We need to take action to ensure those branches are either retired or have CI repaired to the point of being usable. Specifically, I'm looking at these branches across all Ironic projects: - stable/queens - stable/rocky - stable/stein - stable/train - stable/ussuri - stable/victoria In lieu of any volunteers to maintain the CI, my recommendation for all the branches listed above is that they be marked EOL. If someone wants to volunteer to maintain CI for those branches, they can propose one of the below paths be taken instead: 1 - Someone volunteers to maintain these branches, and also report the status of CI of these older branches periodically on the Ironic whiteboard and in Ironic meetings. If you feel strongly that one of these branches needs to continue to be in service; volunteering in this way is how to save them. 2 - We seriously reduce CI. Basically removing all tempest tests to ensure that CI remains reliable and able to merge emergency or security fixes when needed. In some cases; this still requires CI fixes as some older inspector branches are failing *installing packages* in unit tests. I would still like, in this case, that someone volunteers to ensure the minimalist CI remains happy. My intention is to let this message serve as notice and a waiting period; and if I've not heard any response here or in Monday's Ironic meeting (in 6 days), I will begin taking action on retiring these branches. This is simply a start; other branches (including bugfix branches) are also in bad shape in CI, but getting these retired will significantly reduce the surface area of projects and branches to evaluate. I know it's painful to drop support for these branches; but we've provided good EM support for these branches for a long time and by pruning them away, we'll be able to save time to dedicate to other items. Thanks, Jay Faulkner
