[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.

[all][stable][ptl] Propose to EOL Stein series
by Elõd Illés 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hi, Core projects announced and deleted their stable/stein branches for some time already. Furthermore, most of the projects, where stable/stein is still open, have broken gates. So, the same way as we transitioned Rocky series to End of Life [1][2], now is the time to do the same with Stein. I'll propose the stein-eol transition patches for the rest of the open projects. I ask again the teams to signal their decision (with a +1 if the team is ready for the transition). Thanks in advance! (Please note, that the Extended Maintenance process is phasing out / transforming soon, see details in Technical Committee's resolution [3], which was accepted and merged in August.) Thanks, Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-stable / #openstack-release [1] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-January/031922… [2] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-April/033386.h… [3] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20230724-unmaintained-branc…

Hello Team, I am trying to migrate instances from one host to another but I am getting this error. *Error: *Failed to live migrate instance to host "compute1".

[PTL][release] 2023.2 Bobcat Cycle Highlights
by Herve Beraud 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hi, This is a reminder that Cycle highlights need to be added to deliverable yamls so that they can be included in release marketing preparations. (See the details about how to add them at the project team guide [1]) Note that the deadline was the Feature Freeze date in previous cycles, but due to requests of PTLs it was decided to postpone one week in the future (to R-4 week). This is better for PTLs as they are usually very busy around Feature Freeze, on the other hand gives less time to marketing team to process the highlights. [1] https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html# cycle-highlights Thanks, -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/
