[magnum] Dropping default Cluster API driver
by Mohammed Naser 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Hi everyone, It seems that based on a recent post that I saw on the Twitter-sphere[1], it seems that the Magnum team has decided to move forward with setting a default driver for the Cluster API. I don't agree with this. Unfortunately, we don't have much recordings of our PTG conversations, and since the notes on the PTG are pretty light[2], I don't see any details of that. I don't see why we should be merging a native Cluster API driver and not allowing the operators and deployment tools decide which one they want to support. Personally, I think that the Helm driver should be built in a separate repository and then installed by the user as a Python package once they understand what are the backends and their options, as opposed to shipping one out of the box with far less features. We already have successful users which are using our implementation in production that have also posted blogs and shared their experience, we'd be doing them a disservice by now announcing a 'native' built-in driver. Can the decision be changed so that there is no built-in driver, and you must decide to install one yourself? Also, I would be really happy to hear feedback from users of the driver for their comments here. Thanks, Mohmamed [1]: https://www.stackhpc.com/magnum-clusterapi.html [2]: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/r.5b94a5a9dbf4e3bf8202b5e57cb93770

by Ian Y. Choi 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Developers, The TC Election Campaigning Period has now started[1]. During the next couple days, you are all encouraged to ask the candidates questions about their platforms[2], opinions on OpenStack, community governance, and anything else that will help you to better determine how you will vote. This is the time to raise any issues you wish the future TC to consider, and to evaluate the opinions of the nominees prior to their election. Candidates, Each of you has posted a platform[2], and announced your nomination to the developers. From this point, you are encouraged to ask each other questions about the posted platforms, and begin discussion of any points that you feel are particularly important during the next cycle. While you are not yet TC members, your voices and opinions about the issues raised in your platforms and questions raised by the wider community will help ensure that the future TC has the widest possible input on the matters of community concern, and the electorate has the best information to determine the ideal TC composition to address these and other issues that may arise.

Ansible variables
by Gk Gk 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

Hi, We have an OSA setup. During a service playbook, for example, say rabbitmq, which task or play is responsible for creating it's haproxy configuration ? I mean, where is the code in openstack ansible to say to gather the values from user_variables file for that particular service or gather it from conf.d ? For instance, for rabbitmq service, where is the code which says to get the rabbitmq management port for the backend to be 15671 ? I mean where is the source code for pulling it from user_variables file and also which variable from it ?

Hello, I would like to continue my tenure as PTL of Keystone. Over the past cycle we have made some great progress especially around the cadence in getting patches reviewed and merged. I would like to focus this next cycle on seeing that [1] is implemented as well as some much needed backlog cleanup. I would also, finally, like to get a "known-issues" section added to the documentation as well as ensuring that our documentation is up to date. Thanks for your time and support and I'm looking forward to another great cycle. [1]: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/keystone-specs/specs/keystone/2024.1/… /Dave

TC Candidacy
by Amy Marrich 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

I am declaring my candidacy for the Technical Committee. I currently serve on the TC and have contributed to multiple projects over the years within OpenStack as well as being an operator which I feel gives me a well rounded view of what makes OpenStack and how the pieces should work together and what the users need. I feel I represent all members of the community from the small private clouds to the teams running large public clouds. I also feel my experiences helping with OpenStack Upstream Institute, OpenStack OPS Meetup team, the OpenStack mentoring program, and the Git and Gerrit workshops help me to connect with contributors from those just starting out to those who have been here from the beginning. My main goal for rejoining the TC is to take my experiences with Operators and making sure they have a voice within the our decisions so that we can better meet the needs of our users. Thanks, Amy Marrich (spotz)
