[ironic] [ptl] Announcement of non-candidacy for D / 2024.2
by Jay Faulkner 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Hi all, I was just re-elected (thank you!) for my third team as Ironic PTL. By the time the D series starts, it'll be 18 months serving as PTL of the Ironic team. I believe it may cause harm to our project to have the PTL position stay on one individual for too long. For that reason, I'm announcing my non-candidacy for the next PTL election, for the "D" cycle, 2024.2. Ironic contributors who have an interest in being PTL, please reach out to me -- I'd be happy to work with you to ensure there is a good transition. Thanks, Jay Faulkner Ironic PTL

Cyborg nova reports mdev-capable resource is not available
by Karl Kloppenborg 21 Sep '23

Hi Cyborg Team! Karl from Helm Team. When creating a VM with the correct flavor, the mdev gets created by cyborg agent and I can see it in the nodedev-list --cap mdev. However Nova then fails with: nova.virt.libvirt.driver [<removed>- - default default] Searching for available mdevs... _get_existing_mdevs_not_assigned /var/lib/openstack/lib/python3.10/site-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py :8357 2023-09-21 14:34:47.808 1901814 INFO nova.virt.libvirt.driver [<removed> - - default default] Available mdevs at: set(). 2023-09-21 14:34:47.809 1901814 DEBUG nova.virt.libvirt.driver [<removed> - - default default] No available mdevs where found.

[octavia] state of taskflow jobboards
by Maximilian Stinsky 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Greetings, I would be interested in the state of the taskflow jobboard feature in octavia. [1] states it still is an experimental feature, but in the config section [2] it is not marked as such. If I look into the code I see that the feature is implemented since the U release. So my question would be is the taskflow jobboard feature still in an experimental state or is it considered production ready? If its still experimental is there any ETA when its expected to be production ready? Thanks in advance Maximilian [1] https://docs.openstack.org/octavia/latest/install/install-amphorav2.html [2] https://docs.openstack.org/octavia/latest/configuration/configref.html#task…

[ptls][URGENT] Bobcat Release: DPUs, GPUs, and FGPAs, oh my!
by Kendall Nelson 20 Sep '23

20 Sep '23

Hello folks! So, as the OpenInfra Foundation has begun putting together the release marking materials for the Bobcat release, we noticed a trend focused on enabling hardware and increasing utilization. Ironic in particular had an excellent cycle highlight about DPUs[1]. We wanted to quickly reach out and see if there were any cycle highlights that projects maybe haven't published in a review, but are related to this topic. Please respond ASAP as we are moving fast on finalizing the press release. Also, if there is anything related coming in Caracal, we might be able to call that out as well, though I know it's quite early to know what might be landing in 2024.1. If there are other cycle highlights that should get called out as well, definitely push the patches and add me as a reviewer! -Kendall Nelson [1] https://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/highlights.html#ironic
