[openstack-ansible] Recommended branch for a production environment?
by Roger Rivera 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Hello, We have deployed Openstack-Ansible in a test environment and we were wondering what the recommended repository branch is to deploy in a production environment that will be integrated with a separate Ceph cluster. 1. We are thinking about pinning to the stable/zed. Is that recommended over the master branch? 2. Are bugs ironed out on both master and stable/zed with the same cadence? 3. Additionally, is Debian 11 a better alternative than Ubuntu 22 for target hosts? We noticed Ubuntu 22.04 support was added recently, whereas Debian 11 has been supported for quite some time now which leads us to believe its stability/integration could be more mature at this point? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you, -- *Roger *

[ptls][tc] OpenStack User Survey Updates
by Allison Price 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hi Everyone, Like Helena mentioned last week, we are closing the 2023 OpenStack User Survey in a few weeks and will then open the 2024 OpenStack User Survey. At this time, we want to offer the project teams and TC the opportunity to update your project specific questions that appear at the end of the survey. As a reminder, for the project-specific questions, these appear if a survey taker selects your project in their deployment and TC questions appear to all survey takers. If you and your team would like to update the question, please let me know by Friday, August 18. I know that this is a holiday time for many, so if any team needs some extra time, just let me know. I am also able to share the existing questions with any team that needs a refresher on what is currently in the survey. In the meantime, please continue to promote openstack.org/usersurvey to anyone (and everyone!) you know who is running OpenStack or planning to in the future. We want to get as much feedback as we possibly can. Cheers, Allison

TripleO deployment over IPV6
by Kushagr Gupta 26 Aug '23

26 Aug '23

Hi Team, We were trying to perform IPV6-based deployment of TripleO. We are following the link: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/16… As per our environment, we set the "ipv6_address_mode" to "dhcpv6-stateful" and tried undercloud deployment. It was successful. But when we try node introspection, openstack is not providing an IP that will be used for PXE booting the system. We have enabled PXE booting on the IPV6 network. On Dell machines, we get the following error: "PXE-E16: No offer received." For your reference, the undercloud file which we used is attached. We also tried to find the communication happening on the br-ctlplane interface when the machine tries to boot over IPV6 PXE boot. I am attaching those tcpdump records as well. We are unable to find the MAC address of our machines. *Questions:* 1. Is it even possible to perform tripleO deployment with IPV6? 2. Do we need to do some extra settings, so that our baremetal machines can be PXE booted? Thanks and Regards

[puppet] Proposing core team clean up
by Takashi Kajinami 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Hello, I went through the current core reviewers and found out that the current list includes some people no longer working in the OpenStack community. I'd like to propose removing the following persons from the core reviewer team as we haven't seen these people making any activity in the community recently. * Pradeep Kilambi - puppet-aodh, puppet-ceilometer, puppet-gnocchi, puppet-panko * Richard Megginson - puppet-keystone * Denis Egorenko - puppet-murano * Serg Melikyan - puppet-murano * Sergey Kolekonov - puppet-neutron * David Moreau Simard - puppet-openstack-integration * Yu xingchao - all modules Also, I confirmed that Wes Hayutin is no longer working for OpenStack and he agreed to retire from the core reviewer position. Thus I'll remove him as well. I'll be open for any feedback for one week to hear any thoughts/feedback about this removal. I'd like to take this moment to thank all people for their past work. We always welcome them back if they resume their work in this project. Thank you, Takashi KAJINAMI

[olso.messaging] RabbitMQ and streams
by Arnaud Morin 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Hey all, Is there any chance that someone already worked on integrating RabbitMQ streams (see [1]) to replace fanouts in oslo rabbitmq driver? We are wondering if this would help lowering the rabbit usage, and maybe increase the rabbit stability? Our deployment is relying a lot on fanouts to delivers messages to computes (mostly neutron, e.g. secgroup update / remote cache population), this is leading to a massive number of messages beeing delivered by seconds. Cheers, Arnaud [1] https://www.rabbitmq.com/streams.html

LDAP failover fails
by Albert Braden 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

We are experiencing the LDAP failover issue described in [1]. Redhat’s solution is to not bother fixing the bug, and to tell customers to put the LDAP server behind a load-balancer. According to Redhat, that is not a good solution for FreeIPA, as explained in [2] and further elucidated in the blog post [3] that it references. I see that the community has a bug open for this [4] and the bug is being worked on here [5] but there has been no activity since 10/22. What is the status of this bugfix? Does it just need someone to review and merge it, or is there more work to be done? How are other FreeIPA users working around this problem?

Tap as a service on openstack with Juju and MaaS
by Jean-Bernard Altidor 01 Aug '23

01 Aug '23

Hello, I've been struggling to configure tap as a service on openstack for a few months now. I can't find any guide or anything about it. Can you suggest a method of port mirroring? I've even via the ovs bridge but I really need a way to mirror data and send it to an instance for analysis as I'm working on an IDS. Thanks in advance for any ideas ! JB
