[all][tc][ptl][ptg] TC Discussions at the PTG - Sign Up and Suggest Topics
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Hello Stackers, I'd like to highlight the Technical Committee's PTG planning etherpad [1], where we're organizing our discussions for the upcoming PTG. Over the next week, I aim to finalize time slots and prioritize discussion topics. Since TC discussions are cross-project, we'll do our best to avoid scheduling conflicts with project team meetings. To help with this, I encourage all interested parties to sign up or vote on the topics listed in the etherpad. Feel free to add any additional topics you'd like to discuss as well. Thank you! Best regards, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr) OpenStack TC Chair [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2024-ptg-os-tc

[all] [security] [ptls] Please review core security teams
by Jay Faulkner 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Hi all, I'm writing on behalf of the Vulnerability Management Team (VMT). We often use the ${project}-coresec teams to determine who is best to help triage initial issues. These groups do not appear to be universally up to date. If you are in charge of a repo managed by the VMT ( https://security.openstack.org/repos-overseen.html#repositories-overseen ) please ensure the associated launchpad ${project}-coresec group has active, trusted members of your community -- or otherwise reach out to the VMT in #openstack-security to arrange other contacts if needed. For example, https://launchpad.net/~ironic-coresec/+members contains four longtime Ironic cores and former PTLs. (I'll note: I likely need to audit the equivalent group for Ironic-adjacent repos, and will do that after hitting send). This is extremely important! If we can't get an issue triaged and dealt with in time, it gets opened to the public. If there's any questions, feel free to respond here or reach out in #openstack-security on OFTC. Thanks, Jay Faulkner

[ironic] Postgres CI job broken
by Julia Kreger 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Greetings folks, We had a little bit of a discussion on this subject in #openstack-ironic IRC earlier today[0], but the tl;dr is it appears the postgres integration CI job Ironic has had as a "canary" of support is now failing. This time it appears to be rooted in keystone[1]. Like our prior times of raising awareness, we're sending this email to the mailing list. Given the overall deprecation of postgres support many years ago, and the decline in postgres CI jobs in OpenStack, we believe it is time for us to remove this CI job. That being said, if someone wants such support to be fixed and rejuvenated, please consider this email your call to action. Thanks, -Julia [0]: https://meetings.opendev.org/irclogs/%23openstack-ironic/%23openstack-ironi… [1]: https://7d12977942ed9fbb75e4-56d2480851ef91de1634aa83a3abd804.ssl.cf1.rackc…

[Kolla-Ansible] [Ironic] Node Deploy Failed with MissingAuthPlugin
by Ali Hussain 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Hi Kolla and Ironic folks, While playing with stable/kolla release to fix the No VIF found error. Looks like adding Readers role to ironic user fixed it. But run into Missing Auth plugin [2] issue while image is being deployed to ironic node. Openstack endpoint list command [1] shows the correct IP of the controller. My question is: 1. Kolla-Ansible needs explicite Ironic keystone configuration in Ironic.conf? Following this link <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/yoga/reference/bare-metal/ironic-g…> which does not seems to need any keystone configurations. This issue is observed when 1. --boot-interface redfish-virtual-media 2. --deploy-interface ramdisk 3. --driver-info deploy_iso= 4. -instance-info kernel & ramdisk 2. My passwords.yaml has 1. ironic_database_password: 2. ironic_inspector_database_password: 3. ironic_inspector_keystone_password: 4. ironic_keystone_password: Any suggestions please. Thank you. Ali [1] openstack endpoint list | grep ironic | <ID> | <Region> | ironic-inspector | baremetal-introspection | True | internal | http://<IP>:5050 | | <ID> | <Region> | ironic | baremetal | True | public | http://<IP>:6385 | | <ID> | <Region> | ironic-inspector | baremetal-introspection | True | public | http://<IP>:5050 | | <ID> | <Region> | ironic | baremetal | True | internal | http://<IP>:6385 [2] *Error: *Detected change in error condition on node Node1. Deploy step deploy.deploy failed with MissingAuthPlugin: An auth plugin is required to determine endpoint URL.. An unhandled exception was encountered while aborting.

Automating Network VLAN Reconfiguration Post-Bare Metal Provisioning with OpenStack Ironic
by Hajasolo 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Hello OpenStack Community, I am currently working with OpenStack Ironic for provisioning bare metal servers and facing a specific challenge related to network security and automation. I would appreciate any insights or experiences you could share! We use Ironic to provision bare metal servers, which involves utilizing a management VLAN during the PXE boot and initial OS installation process. Post-provisioning, the server’s management interface remains accessible, posing a security risk as it can potentially access the management network. I need to ensure that once a server is provisioned and handed over to a user, it cannot access the management VLAN until it is deprovisioned. 1. How can we automate the process of removing the management VLAN from the server’s network interface post-provisioning to prevent unauthorized access to the management network? 2. Upon server deprovisioning, how can we automatically re-enable the management VLAN to allow for server re-provisioning? 3. Are there any built-in OpenStack tools or common practices within the Ironic or larger OpenStack community to handle such scenarios? Our goal is to maintain a high level of automation and self-service capability in our OpenStack environment while ensuring rigorous network security standards. Solutions that integrate seamlessly with OpenStack’s existing architecture would be ideal. Thank you for your time and help! Best regards, Haja, Joel
