[senlin] Rolling updates issues future support and alternatives
by Devin Patterson 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Hello folks, We are attempting to find a solution for tenants in our OpenStack environment and have been testing Senlin for auto-scaling, auto-healing and rolling updates. The goal is similar functionality to AWS auto-scaling groups. Auto-scaling and health check functionality is working properly but we are getting some errors when attempting to update Senlin clusters to new profiles. Specifically, we would like to update VM user_data and VM images and roll those changes out in alignment with batch policies. The Senlin clusters attempt to update but fail with errors in the senlin_engine logs either related to lack of support for user_data updates or duplicate images when updating images in the profile. Proxy.rebuild_server() got multiple values for argument 'image' 2024-01-11 16:16:10.050 1009 ERROR senlin.profiles.base [] The following properties are not updatable: user_data. 16:10.086 1009 ERROR senlin.engine.event [] NODE_UPDATE[] error: Node update failed. Is anyone able to help with a path forward as well as provide any input on future support for Senlin as I saw some messages related to it no longer being supported? If so, can anyone recommend OpenStack project alternatives to achieve autoscaling, auto-healing and rolling updates for tenant VMs? Thanks in advance for any help, Devin

[magnum] autoscaling feature not working
by Satish Patel 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Folks, I am trying to set the auto scaling feature in magnum "auto_scaling_enabled '' true but somehow the auto scaling is not working. truly speaking I don't understand the workflow of scaling up and down of worker nodes. How does magnum know that it requires scaling up and down without monitoring? On what basis will it trigger that action?

[Openstack-Chef][all][tc] Retiring Openstack-Chef
by Ghanshyam Mann 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Hello Everyone, You might have seen that OpenStack-Chef project (provides the Chef cookbooks for OpenStack life cycle management) is leaderless in this cycle, and further investigation by TC found that this project's health is not green and does not have maintainers. - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/2024.1-leaderless A few of the stats about this project's activities: - gate health unclear, no activity for > 1y in openstack/openstack-chef repo - most recent branch is stable/train - zuul config errors fixed by frickler We contacted the previous PTL Lance Albertson and he would not be able to continue maintaining it and are ok with the retirement. Considering the current situation and no maintainers in this project, TC is planning to retire this project. This is the last call if any of you or your organization are interested in maintaining it (or using it and would like to discuss the possible path forward). Feel free to reply to this email or add your feedback in Gerrit: - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/905279 -gmann

[all] Nomination for extra-ACs
by Jay Faulkner 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

OpenStackers: Elections are beginning soon. This means as a community, we have a responsibility to identify and credit any extra Active Contributors (extra ACs) who may not have committed code in the last six months. Being named an extra AC has a simple, but important impact: it permits the individual named to vote in elections for the Technical Committee. Additionally, it's an important form of recognition which can encourage future non-code contributions. If there's someone who has made non-code contributions to a project who should be recognized, please contact me, in my role as the Technical Committee Chair (per the TC Charter https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/charter.html#voters-for-tc-se…) and the TC will evaluate the request and approve it if reasonable. Please note; this is not just an exercise for PTLs. Self-nominating for extra-AC status is not only permitted; it's encouraged -- if you've contributed, we want to recognize you. Additionally, any existing project contributors are eligible to nominate peers they think are deserving. Thank you in advance for taking time to recognize your upstream peers! Jay Faulkner OpenStack TC Chair

[nova][release][tooz] Hold your rechecks
by Sylvain Bauza 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Hey folks, FWIW, our grenade check on SLURP upgrades is 100% failing now [1] due to a behavioural change in the tooz library [2] that's pulled by Cinder and which was released [3] and delivered to upper-contraints yesterday [4] There are different possibilities in order to unblock the gate, but until one of them is agreed and merged, please avoid wasting our CI resources by asking to recheck for something which will fail. Thanks, -Sylvain (who will send an email once the job is back up) [1] https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=grenade-skip-level-alw… [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tooz/+/891355 [3] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/899966 [4] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/901131

[tc][all] Inactive projects, new contributors, and core access
by Jay Faulkner 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

Hi all, An interesting debate popped up during today's Technical Committee meeting which I thought would be wise to bring before the larger community. I will note, despite this referencing a current event, any discussions about this are about general policies and not any individual persons or situations. Monasca, a recently marked inactive project, has had someone -- a single individual -- volunteer to attempt to maintain the service. There was some debate among the TC about whether or not this was sufficient to consider Monasca an active project again, with two primary concerns. First, there were trust-related concerns -- for a project that would essentially be maintained by a single person, is it acceptable to grant core access or appoint someone DPL/PTL (giving the ability to merge code) who is new to the OpenStack community. Some TC members expressed a concern that granting such access, without a commitment from a trusted community member to act as a mentor or monitor on the project, could open us up to insider attacks against our deliverables, while others made the argument that we should default to trust and ensure our community remains welcome to new contributors. Secondly, there are concerns regarding sustainability -- is it acceptable for an OpenStack project to move from "inactive" to "active" based on the promised maintenance of a single person, with no backup? Some TC members expressed a concern that projects moving from "active" to "inactive" repeatedly are taxing on governance volunteers and not an ideal outcome, while others argued that there is value in keeping projects in the OpenStack release. There was a very involved debate in today's TC meeting about these topics. I encourage interested parties to review this log before replying. https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/tc/2024/tc.2024-01-09-18.00.log.html#… We have an item on the TC agenda for next meeting, a week from today, to help decide on these items for the sake of Monasca, but it's my hope we can determine a reasonable precedent to apply consistently to these cases going forward. Your input will help guide the decision of the committee on these items. Thanks, Jay Faulkner OpenStack TC Chair
