[election] [tc] Running for a second year on the TC
by Jay Faulkner 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Hey all, Around a year ago, I announced my candidacy for the TC after a call for more contributors from a diverse employer base was made. I think a year later, it's more obvious than ever how important it is to have a diverse, independent technical committee. We have made huge progress on this front. We have six candidates for the four open TC positions, representing different independent companies utilizing OpenStack. This is a major improvement year over year. If you've been in the community a while, you've probably worked with me and have an idea if you want to vote for me or not in this position. Whether elected or not, I'll continue my vocal support of OpenStack technologies in private meetings and on social media, I'll continue to invite people I meet interested in cloud to join our community -- not because it's my job (it is), but also because I'm proud of what we've built. When I have those conversations with potential users or contributors, I highlight two things I admire about the OpenStack community: longevity -- there are not many large, distributed open source projects that have survived as long as we have, and the four opens -- putting openness out front as our face to the world is why I'll continue to be proud to represent OpenStack in the future -- as a TC member or not (you decide). If someone does want to talk about a particular policy or thought process of mine, I'm happy to respond to comments here or via private email/IRC. Thanks, Jay Faulkner

[QA][release] Cycle With Intermediary without recent deliverables
by Herve Beraud 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Quick reminder that for deliverables following the cycle-with-intermediary model, the release team will use the latest $series release available on release week. The following deliverables have done a 2023.2 bobcat release, but it was not refreshed in the last two months: tempest You should consider making a new one very soon, so that we don't use an outdated version for the final release. Thanks -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/

Host aggregates and placement aggregates
by Gk Gk 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Hi All, We have a yoga OSA setup. We have upgraded the setup from Xena to Yoga. We have found that some of the host aggregates have not synced to the placement aggregates. As a result , the vm creation on those aggregate nodes is failing even though they have the full capacity. I have tried the placement sync aggregates command but it did not help. Is this a known bug in Yoga ? Thanks Y.G

[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 *

What is the difference between 4 and 8 virtual sockets to physical sockets?
by Jorge Visentini 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Hello Team, What is the difference between creating an instance with *4* or *8 virtual sockets*, since the hypervisor has only *4 physical sockets*. My question is where do sockets, cores and virtual threads fit into the physical hardware. I think this question is not just related to Openstack, but with any virtualization. My hypervisor configuration is as follows: CPU(s): 192 Online CPU(s) list: 0-191 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 24 Socket(s): 4 NUMA node(s): 4 Do you have any documentation that I can read and understand better? That we have a nice week! -- Att, Jorge Visentini +55 55 98432-9868

Need assistance
by Gk Gk 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hi, We have Yoga version setup of OSA. When a user is trying to use a certain flavor which has some extra specs, same as that which is mentioned for an aggregate, the vm creation is failing for the user. But I created a vm using that same flavor and it succeeded for a test user account. When I analyzed the logs, the nova scheduler is not filtering or checking the individual hosts from that target aggregate in the case of that user. But it is validating the target aggregate hosts in the case of a test user and able to select a host for vm creation. So what could be the reason that the scheduler is unable to find the hosts from that aggregate in the case of that user as opposed to that of the test user ? Is there any connection between a project and an aggregate ? Thanks Kumar

[all][qa] Devstack dropping support for Ubuntu Focal
by Ghanshyam Mann 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hello Everyone, As you know, this release 2023.2 (bobcat) does not mandate testing the ubuntu Focal[1] and with Nova bumped the libvirt version, focal jobs are failing. Devstack was planning to drop the Focal support in the next cycle but we have to do it now only[2]. This email is a heads-up if you are still wondering about the Focal job failure. If your project still running any of the jobs on focal, please plan to move to Jammy.
