[qa] Team Organization Updates
by Martin Kopec 17 Dec '24

17 Dec '24

Hello everyone, I'm changing my work focus in the new year, therefore, I will have reduced bandwidth for QA and PTL duties for the rest of the Epoxy cycle. As a result, I'd like to announce a few changes: 1. Ghanshyam will take over moderating office hours starting in the new year. To better accommodate his timezone, the office hours will be held *bi-weekly on Wednesdays 18:00 UTC (even weeks).* The first office hour in the new year will be on *Wednesday January 8th*. 2. Ghanshyam will also act as PTL proxy for any emergencies, e.g. patches that require an approval asap. However, feel free to add me as a reviewer to patches that need a final review. 3. Luigi Toscano volunteered to help us with reviews, mainly with Tempest-related ones as he is a long-term contributor to cinder-tempest-plugin and several other projects - https://review.opendev.org/q/owner:ltoscano@redhat.com Thanks, -- Martin Kopec Red Hat EMEA IM: kopecmartin

by Dmitriy Rabotyagov 17 Dec '24

17 Dec '24

Hi, Last week we decided to cancel the weekly meetings on December 24 and December 31 2024 due to Christmas holidays as many people will not be around for the meeting. This means that the next meeting will happen only on January 7 2025. With that being said, I want to congratulate the community with the upcoming Christmas and New Year and wish to have plenty of fun during holidays! And thank for all the hard work that was put in during 2024.

Any thoughts? ----- Andy Speagle

Hi all, Bugs ------- Gate issues ========= 1. fullstack failures in l3ha agent, placeholder: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091351 May be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2083609 There's a fix for the latter: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/937758 2. functional suite OOMing when CPU number is low: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091855 There's a fix to split the suite in serial runs: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/937759 The bug alludes that memory consumption could be improved; I'd recommend to limit the scope of this bug to fixing the CI failure and let the memory concerns be addressed elsewhere / by another owner if needed. 3. tempest failure in stable branch in psql job: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091711 No fix; no owner. API / policy ========= All assigned to Slawek; not sure if he really wants to own all of them. 1. no quota on the number of tags breaks api: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091410 DoS when too many tags are created; CVE adjacent. Need quotas for tags? 2. policy mechanism allows to work around some limitations on external connectivity when fwaas is used: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091536 Not sure if it has a security angle or affects anything but fwaas. 3. custom policy rule failing due to missing fields: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091493 Needs owner ========== 1. Unicast leakage on flat network: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091211 The next step would be to set up a 2-compute devenv setup with flat and see if ml2/ovs openvswitch driver can reproduce. Additional tests to functional / fullstack / tempest validating leakage is not happening could be helpful too. Already fixed ========== 1. 500 when backend doesn't support vlan-transparent: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091613 2. pylint change broke ovn agent delete: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091071 New RFEs -------------- 1. use unicast mode for keepalived to avoid vxlan flooding when mcast is off: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2091599 Ihar

[Neutron] DHCP port status inactive
by Vinicius Afonso 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Hello, I am new to Openstack environment and I need help with a Neutron problem. When I create a new network, the DHCP port launches with status inactive. Even though I tried to create a VM, the DHCP generate a port for the machine, However it takes a few minutes to give an error: "Build of instance ed6c8835-f2d4-4730-9638-74ded388361b aborted: Failed to allocate the network(s), not rescheduling." The only alternative solution to overcome this issue is to change the DHCP agent of the network. If I change it, the new DHCP port will have an active status and then I can launch a VM. Nothing conclusive was found in the logs, just the error to bind the port. It doesn't say anything to why the port is inactive, just that the port was created and with status active. Things that I already tried: -> See nova and neutron logs -> Restart neutron-server, neutron-dhcp-agent, neutron-openvswitch-agent -> Change manually the DHCP agent Anyone had the same problem as this one? Any tips to troubleshoot? Any help is welcome! Thanks.

Dalmatian: Dimensions of instance console
by berndbausch＠gmail.com 15 Dec '24

15 Dec '24

This is a Dalmatian-based Devstack. The instance console's height is too large for my screen. Documentation claims that console dimensions can be configured in a file named _detail_vnc.html [1], but there is no file with this name anywhere in the filesystem. I just submitted a bug [2] but wonder if somebody can help me out right now. How can the console dimensions be configured? Thanks! Bernd Bausch Instructor and tinkerer Here is my bug description: Under Frequently Asked Questions (https://docs.openstack.org/nova/2024.2/admin/remote-console-access.html#fre quently-asked-questions), the answer to Q: How do I adjust the dimensions of the VNC window image in the OpenStack dashboard? is incorrect. My Devstack installation contains no file named _detail_vnc.html. I found a file with the interesting name _detail_console.html under /opt/stack/horizon/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/project/instances/template s/instances, but it doesn't contain the answer's code for width and height.

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-15)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 15 Dec '24

15 Dec '24

Hello Stackers, We're 15 weeks away from the 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release date (2024-04-02) [1]. During the last week, the Technical Committee continued discussing the state of "unmaintained" code branches across OpenStack repositories and election officials proposed dates for the combined TC+PTL elections for the next release cycle [2]. We have decided to cancel the weekly meetings previously scheduled for 24th December and 31st December in lieu of the holidays. === Weekly Meeting === The OpenStack Technical Committee met over IRC on 2024-12-10 [3]. We revisited challenges with using CentOS 10 in the community CI system due to lack of AVX/AVX2 CPU flags on current cloud providers. Discussions revolved around finding providers with suitable hardware or reducing reliance on CentOS testing. We then revisited the state of "unmaintained" branches across OpenStack repositories. The oldest "unmaintained" branch tracks the "victoria" release (GA: 2020-10-14). The consensus amongst TC members was to enforce the policy to default old branches to EOL unless explicitly opted-in with required maintenance assurances. To do this, we need tooling to automate the transition, and a way to track and validate volunteer opt-ins for unmaintained branches. Volunteers stepped up to transition branches up until the 2023.1 ("Antelope") release to "end-of-life", beginning with the Victoria release branch [4]. If you're interested in keeping a particular branch open, for any repository, please express your interest directly on the gerrit change. All EOL transition patches will be merged after 1 month of community review. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is on 2024-12-17 at 1800 UTC. This meeting will take place in the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC's IRC server. Please find the meeting agenda on the wiki [5]. Please remember that you can propose topics for upcoming TC meetings by directly editing the wiki. If you're unable to do so, please holler at me (IRC nick: gouthamr) or in the TC's IRC channel (#openstack-tc). === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Retire Murano/Senlin/Sahara OpenStack-Ansible roles | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935677 ==== Open for Review ==== - Add ansible-role-httpd repo to OSA-owned projects | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935694 - Rework the initial goal proposal as suggested by people | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/931254 - Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 - Propose to select the eventlet-removal community goal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934936 - Allow more than 2 weeks for elections | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/937741 === How to Contact the TC === You can reach the TC in several ways: - Email: send an email with the tag [tc] on this mailing list. - IRC: Ping us using the tc-members keyword on the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. - Weekly Meeting: The Technical Committee meets every week on Tuesdays at 1800 UTC [5].
