[nova] riscv64 emulation support
by James Page 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

Hi Nova Team We've had some initial support for enabling RISCV64 support in Nova in a review for sometime which I refreshed this week: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/889137 Sean suggested that this really needs a blueprint and discussion at the next Nova meeting (which I can't make) so proposing discussion via ML instead: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/riscv64-emulation-support I'm also going to look at the nova-emulation job to see if that can be extended to cover RISCV64 as well - there are a few nuances with dependent packages (opensbi) in Ubuntu 24.04 but I think we can come up with something workable for testing. Review and comments are appreciated. Thanks James

OpenStack metrics and logs
by Timothé Bauge 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

Hello Stackers, I would like to know what are you all using to monitor and supervise your Openstack clusters ? We are in the process of setting up our own private cloud based on RedHat OpenStack Platform 17.1, we choose not to go with the RedHat Service Telemetry Platform, and were strongly advise against Ceilometer and aodh. At the moment, we built our own stack based on Prometheus (with the plenty of exporters) for the metrics, Graylog + OpenSearch for the logs, and Grafana for the visualisation. For now, we are only looking to retrieve basic information in order to know if a dysfunction occurs, but the end goal might be to go as far as to be able to count the cpu/mem/disk usage per hour per vm per project, etc. So, what are you all using and how did you implement it ? Best regards, [cid:659cb34d-63ad-4c5a-94e4-734ef252c20b] Timothé BAUGÉ timothe.bauge(a)covage.com<mailto:pr%C3%A9nom.nom@covage.com> COVAGE I Wholesale B2B du Groupe Altitude

[tc][all][monasca ] Retiring the Monasca project
by Ghanshyam Mann 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Hello everyone, As you might know, the Monasca project is not active and was marked 'inactive' since 2024.1 cycle[1]. In this cycle also, this project is leaderless[2] and no maintainer stepped up to maintain it. As discussed in the Leaderless project etherpad[2], the next step is to retire the project. I'm sending this email to propose the Monasca retirement and based on the response, I will proceed next.

Hello, We want to fetch all the servers present in all the projects a user has access to. Currently we have to provide any one project name in the body of the authentication call. Is there a way we can fetch all the projects without providing any project name?

[all][tc][ptl][qa] Migrating upstream CI/CD jobs to Ubuntu Noble (24.04)
by Ghanshyam Mann 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Hello Everyone, As per the 2025.2 cycle testing runtime, we need to run upstream CI/CD jobs on Ubuntu Noble (24.04) [1]. For better tracking and speeding up this work, it is the community-wide goal for this cycle[2]. This is the etherpad which has the migration plan and will be used for the tracking: - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/migrate-to-noble I have prepared the change(WIP) for base jobs migration on Noble (openstack tox jobs, devstack, and tempest) which will migrate most of the projects jobs. Tempest change[3] include dependency on openstack tox, devstack base jobs changes so testing project gate using the the tempest change will test the complete set. Refer to the etherpad for the complete migration plan/steps. * Deadline: Nov 29th 2024 (R18) is the deadline to test/fix the projects jobs and to merge the base jobs running on Noble (openstck tox, devstack, and tempest).

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-16)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Hello Stackers, We're 16 weeks away from the 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release date (2024-04-02) [1]. OpenStack project teams are planning bug squashes and review jams in the next couple of weeks before contribution activity slows due to end-of-the-year holidays around the world. The OpenStack Technical Committee did not merge any new governance changes this week; however, a few proposals are iterating with community and TC review. === Weekly Meeting === The OpenStack Technical Committee held its monthly video conference last week, which was simultaneously recorded via text on IRC [2][3]. The discussion tracked several TC initiatives for this release cycle [4]. Most notably, the recent migration of base integration jobs to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Python 3.12 has caused CI jobs to break for several code repos [5]. I’d like to reiterate that project teams must resolve these issues or temporarily pin the nodeset of their test jobs to "ubuntu-jammy" to buy some time for fixes. We then checked on the status of "unmaintained" branches. The release team wanted the TC to solidify processes for two specific issues: nominating "unmaintained" liaisons and establishing guidelines for retiring these branches. The lack of such processes has resulted in the proliferation of "unmaintained" code branches across the community and failure to implement the TC resolution that created these branches [6]. The oldest unmaintained branch is "unmaintained/victoria", and it’s unclear if anyone benefits from keeping it around. Discussion on cleanup has been delayed due to uncertainty about what to do [7]. Meanwhile, branches like Yoga may still have high usage and active contributors, emphasizing the need for a clear process to decide their fate. The technical committee may consider advising the release team to eliminate branches with low usage, but this doesn’t solve the problem of finding volunteers to maintain high-usage branches. The idea is that projects can opt to maintain more branches if there is sufficient user interest and support, but there is currently no process for this, nor is it clear how to recruit volunteers. We agreed to continue this discussion at the next meeting. However, in the meantime, there were no objections to EOL-ing the Victoria, Wallaby, and Xena branches. Clark Boylan (clarkb) noted an issue with building CentOS Stream 10 images using Disk Image Builder, as they cannot boot on several clouds due to the x86_64 v3 CPU instruction set requirement. Only a few provider clouds, including OpenMetal and Rackspace Flex, meet the CPU requirements to boot CentOS 10. This limitation may affect options for regular test nodes, and project teams are advised to take notice. Until all Zuul/Nodepool cloud providers meet the CPU requirements, teams may need to adjust their testing strategies. Jeremy Stanley (fungi) reminded us that nominations for individual member representatives for the OpenInfra Foundation Board of Directors are still open [8]. Ten nominations from members are required to make it onto the ballot. The OpenStack TC's next weekly meeting is today, 2024-12-10. This will be an IRC meeting hosted on #openstack-tc at 1800 UTC. Please find the agenda on the meeting wiki [9]. I look forward to seeing you there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open for Review ==== Add ansible-role-httpd repo to OSA-owned projects | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935694 Retire Murano/Senlin/Sahara OpenStack-Ansible roles | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935677 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 Thank you very much for reading!

Kolla-Ansible: Why is handling kolla_*_fqdn in /etc/hosts out of scope?
by Matthias Tinnemeier 09 Dec '24

09 Dec '24

Dear Community, According to the documentation (https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/2024.2/admin/advanced-configuratio…) the provisioning of kolla_*_fqdn Name Resolution via /etc/hosts must be managed outside of the scope of Kolla. The question, therefore, is why :-) Given the existence of "customize_etc_hosts", there should be at least some logic to implement this behaviour in an automatic way. Is there a particular reason why this is not being implemented via Kolla? Alternatively, would it be worth proposing a patch for this? With kind regards Matthias

a suggestion: use LDAP to manage all openstack components configuration
by Shi Wei 09 Dec '24

09 Dec '24

Hi, everyone, I have a suggestion. we can use LDAP service to mange all openstak components and nodes(including physical nodes and vm nodes).  Because ldap is easy to read and ldap can support DNS and DHCP service. if a node get ip address by DHCP server with ldap. You and get the Mac address information from the LDAP server. and if all components are communicated by domain name. all records are on the LDAP server. if the one node will change IP address, you can just modify on the ldap server.  The ldap server can easy to backup and extend. use ldap command to export as a ldf file.   you can easy to backup before update configuration. if a new component will join, you can extend the schema by .sch file.
