[tc][murano] Removing Murano from 2024.1 release
by Jay Faulkner 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Hi all, After discussion in the TC meeting today about lots of gathered evidence that Murano is inactive and plagued by serious bugs, I have proposed a resolution to remove Murano from the release. This is roughly equivalent to marking it inactive; however we can only use inactive status to remove things from the release before milestone-2. At this point, the TC is too late discovering the bad state of Murano to use inactivity to prevent its release. Therefore, I have proposed a special-case resolution[0] reflecting general consensus in the TC meeting that Murano should not be released. I wanted to inform the community of this resolution, and advise anyone who may be considering deployment of Murano to be aware of its current inactive state. Additionally, if you believe our evaluation of the situation is wrong, feel free to let your voice be heard in Gerrit. Thanks, Jay Faulkner OpenStack TC Chair 0: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/910434

[diskimage-builder] bootable ISO image for baremetal
by Ettore Simone 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Hi! I know it is not one of the most wonderful options for DIB, but in some circumstances I used ISO image in a USB stick for some old and unmaintained hardware. I used to fix by hand every time the "iso" element to complete the task, due to an old reference to a deprecated variable (DIB_IMAGE_ROOT_FS_UUID, now DIB_BOOT_LABEL). I proposed a very small fix and I hope it could be merged in the future: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/diskimage-builder/+/905556 Thank you for all your great work. Cheers, Ettore

Need Help to setup Bumblebee VDI project
by Artemio Mendoza 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hello, I'm trying to set up the Bumblebee (https://github.com/NeCTAR-RC/bumblebee) project on my local computer to test. So I installed docker and tried setup by following the readme. But I'm really new in OpenStack (only tried to run OpenStack through devstack) so I would appreciate it if I could have a very detailed guide. So please share any idea, online video link, or guide document. anything is good to me. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Artemio Mendoza

[TC][openapi] Request for new projects under the OpenStack hat
by gtema 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hi TC representatives, Some time ago I was communicating about my POC on generating OpenAPI schemas from the source code of services. I continued working on that and have now few projects (that I was developing on GitHub to make life easier) that I would like to bring under the OpenStack hood (and place them under the SDK team). I have also figured out that Nova is now reviewing spec on starting using supporting this (thanks Stephen) and Neutron folks expressed also interest. === codegenerator https://gtema.github.io/openstack-codegenerator/ This project is responsible for generation of the OpenAPI specs and generate other (currently user-facing) code ouf of them === openstack-openapi https://gtema.github.io/openstack-openapi/ This repo hosts rendered specs and provides analogue to the os-api-ref Sphinx extension that renders them into the html (what you see under the link is a mix of Swagger and os-api-ref style). I was not really effectively working on that rendering lately, the repo right now is more or less a storage for the specs themselves with a first sketch of sphinx extension of rendering and basic OpenAPI flavoring doc. === openstack-rs https://gtema.github.io/openstack/ This is a Rust monorepo project with few items: - SDK for OpenStack out of the rendered OpenAPI specs - experimental CLI following very different approach compared to the python- openstackclient. It is compiled into single binary (what helps those not willing to pull whole python with all deps and the insanity we experience lately or those who build docker containers with only OSC inside to bypass the mentioned hell) and purely auto-generated from the specs - [future] openstack-tui (similar to k9s for Kubernetes) Here it is all really oriented only on the user facing tooling. I am very convinced in this project and will continue working on it independent on the outcome. Any objections/ideas/comments? Should I just go and create 3 project-config changes pending the approval? ====== Since I am on this topic anyway I would also like to address another related question. While working for OpenTelekomCloud we developed HashiVault plugin for managing OpenStack credentials as secrets (I had a talk on that in Vancouver). We tried to bring this to OpenDev but were unsure under which namespace. Pretty shortly a Hashi license issue started circling around and after few back and forth iterations we were not sure what to do with that project at all. Anyway the plugin itself is Apache-2 and working. It should be possible to also use it with OpenBAO (as a fork of Vault), but it was not tested so far. I am now not with Telekom anymore, but people there are still willing to contribute it under the OpenStack. Do you have any opinions on that? Is there interest in getting this under the OpenDev and if yes then which namespace (openstack or X)? ======= Thanks, Artem

[all][ptls][release] Action needed to move forward Unmaintained branch policy
by Jay Faulkner 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hi all, If you are a PTL of a project, a release liason, or a person generally interested in older OpenStack branches, please make sure you take a look at the topic here: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22vwx-unmaintained%22 and vote appropriately on projects you care about. More information can be found in the commit message for the patches themselves. A lot of folks have done work behind the scenes to enable this transition; please help us by doing your part and getting these reviews done in a timely manner is one way we can show gratitude to the releases team and others who have worked to make this transition possible. Thanks, Jay Faulkner OpenStack TC Chair

[blazar] Proposing Mark Powers and Matt Crees as core reviewers
by Pierre Riteau 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hello, I would like to nominate two new core reviewers for the Blazar project: - Mark Powers from University of Chicago - Matt Crees from StackHPC Mark Powers has been operating Blazar for several years for the Chameleon project (https://www.chameleoncloud.org) and maintains a fork of Blazar with many changes for this environment. The most useful changes are gradually being contributed upstream. Matt Crees has contributed several useful features to Blazar in the past few releases and helps to maintain the code. The Blazar project will benefit from their expertise and I trust their input as reviewers. Best wishes, Pierre Riteau (priteau)

[all] Gate issues and memory pressure; can you help?
by Jay Faulkner 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Hi all, As some of you are aware, keeping the OpenStack CI system operating is a massive amount of work, and it's a team effort. Along those lines, we continue to have issues with CI, and memory pressure is a common thread. Recently at a TC meeting[0] we discussed how the gate is using more ram -- now in the form of swap. One additional concern is that this memory usage increase may be reflective of what our users are experiencing -- bugs that we need to fix for the sake of our users. A specific target of concern is oslo.privsep[1], but generally a need for an audit of memory usages of OpenStack services would be of significant value to the community. If you're interested in taking on this work, please reach out here, on the mailing list, or in any relevant #openstack-* channel, such as #openstack-tc. In any event, don't wait for permission! Take action and see if you can make things better, even a little bit. Thanks, Jay Faulkner OpenStack TC Chair 0: https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/tc/2024/tc.2024-02-20-18.00.log.html 1: https://opendev.org/openstack/oslo.privsep
