[election][ptl][openstack-helm] PTL Candidacy for 2024.1
by Vladimir Kozhukalov 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hello Everyone, I am pleased to announce my candidacy to continue as the PTL for OpenStack-Helm in the upcoming 2024.1 release cycle. ## Key accomplishments we have collectively achieved during the Bobcat cycle ### New Features: - Integrated a Manila chart, expanding the range of out-of-the-box use-cases. - Introduced OVN chart and support in Neutron, as OVN is emerging as the de facto standard for OpenStack networking. - Launched a Tacker chart to engage telecom sectors as potential users and contributors. - Upgraded the Elasticsearch chart to version 8.9.0. - Initiated the transition to Rook operator for Ceph management, with completion expected by cycle end. ### Pipeline and Compatibility: - Added Compute-kit and Cinder jobs to the check pipeline for Yoga, Zed, and Antelope releases, thereby extending the range of officially supported Openstack releases. ### Platform Support: - We stay Ubuntu-centric due to lack of resources for support of multiple platforms. During this cycle we introduced Ubuntu Jammy images, and initiated extensive testing for Jammy-based deployments. ### Other Improvements: - Enhanced Compute-kit job stability by adopting a multinode test environment for specific releases. - Cleaned up the OpenStack-Helm storyboard. Over 100 stories were reviewed, verified and fixed or closed. as outdated. - Numerous minor fixes and adjustments, including updates for recent Kubernetes releases. A big thank you to everyone for your contributions. ## Looking Ahead ### Documentation: The documentation still needs to be improved and aligned with all the recent changes. Users need clear understanding of how to deploy/upgrade Openstack components and which releases and scenarios are thoroghly tested and expected to work. ### Compatibility: We plan to continue expanding support for recent OpenStack and Kubernetes releases and additional Linux distributions. I am eager to continue in my role as PTL to ensure these initiatives move forward. Thanks. -- Best regards, Kozhukalov Vladimir

[election][ptl][tacker] PTL Candidacy for 2024.1
by Yasufumi Ogawa 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hi, I'd like to nominate myself for Tacker PTL for 2024.1 cycle. I've contributed to Tacker as a PTL to provide a generic VNF Manager to industiries. We have implemented or improved several features such as monitoring with Prometheus for containers or policy management for multi domain usecases in addition to introduce the latest ETSI-NVF standard compliant features. We also revised unstable unit/functional tests for which we have been suffered several times for unexpected failures and waste of time as one of the our goals for efficiency of our development, and documents for users to demonstrate usecases in practical examples. In the next cycle, I'd like to continue to improving Tacker for the 5G network includes both a radio-access network and a core network to provide operators as we've focused on. Deploying Tacker as Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) in O-RAN architecture is one of our plans for realizing the scenario. Tacker team has already contributed to ETSI NFV and O-RAN SC communities while getting feedbacks from them and enforced relationship among them gradually. I'd appreciate if we make some more progress for OpenStack and these communities. Regards, Yasufumi (yasufum)

[elections][manila] PTL Candidacy for 2024.1
by Carlos Silva 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hello everyone! I would like to announce my candidacy for the role of Manila PTL during the Caracal/2024.1 cycle. I have been in this role for the last 3 cycles and I would like to continue serving as PTL. During the past cycles, there was a lot of effort on promoting contributor collaboration through different activities and it helped us to make progress on closing gaps between the Manila APIs and other clients consuming them, as well as tackling tech debt and getting new features and drivers merged. I feel energized to continue pushing on these areas, but also put some focus on: * Working on the stability of our upstream CI first party jobs and also checking with third party CI maintainers to ensure their CI is healthy and reporting valid results. * Enhancing the review bandwidth and doing more actions to encourage more reviews from people submitting code to the Manila code base. * Work on documentation to help new contributors understand what are the requirements when proposing new features, and also continue the effort to 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. Thank you for your consideration! Carlos da Silva IRC: carloss

Query on Enabling Horizon Support for Creating SR-IOV VMs
by Aditya Sathish 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

Hello, We have enabled SR-IOV external interfaces on our server cluster running OpenStack Yoga. Unfortunately, there is a known limitation on the Horizon dashboard where we cannot create virtual machines through the dashboard - forcing us to rely on the OpenStack CLI to create the VMs. I wanted to understand what precisely the limitation was to support this from Horizon and if there were any cherry-picks I could pull from the later releases that would allow me to provide this support through the dashboard (or upgrade my release to 2023.1). I did see that we can now select the VNIC_Type from the dashboard, but that doesn't resolve the issue of VM creation with SR-IOV ports. Any points would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Aditya

[kolla] using local package mirror for image builds
by Jonathan Proulx 29 Aug '23

29 Aug '23

HI All, Using `kolla-build -b ubuntu` to build container images keeps timing out (well hanging for literal days) seemingly on package downloads from remote mirrors. I'm new to kolla and kolla-ansible so I may be misdiagnosing the cause of my current issue but we de have local ubuntu package mirros which would be faster in any case. Is there a way to specify using only a local package mirror? Thanks, -Jon
