[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

Openstack Networking queries

List, My kolla-ansible OpenStack installation all-in-one on Virtual Machine( Ubuntu 22.04, ) This base VM has three vNICs 1. ens192 with ip 10.170.16.128 from my organization's LAN with internet connectivity 2. ens224 is configured manually with a 10.220.0.51 IP ( from a VLAN for internal testing without internet) 3. ens160 This interface is made up without any IPs ( I don't know why this has to be up without any IP address, but kolla-ansible all-in-one installation document specifies one interface like this required ) Can I do the kolla-ansible deployment with the above 2 vNICs only ( ens192 and ens 224 ?) But ens192 I cannot have without IP addresses as it is my organizational LAN. Other clients in the office use this Segment for daily work . I don't have control on 10.170.16.0/24 but only on10.170.16.128 ip Any serious issues there by using only ens192 and ens224 alone in this case ? ( I can use ens224 ( 10.220.0.0/24 segment as floating IPs as it is in my control as a VLAN) But How can I connect the internet and external world communication to this vLAN 10.220.0.0/24 from 10.170.16.128 IP which has the internet. (to use these vLAN IPs as floating point IPs ) my tenant network can be ( all VMs can be on 10.0.0.0/24) How to provide the internet to this vLAN 10.220.0.0/24 from the available internet connected IP ens192 (10.170.16.128 with internet) I have only control on this IP but not on 10.170.16.0/24 network as it is not under my control. Can I use the following config for bootstrapping and deploying kolla-ansible all-in-one *Correct me what I am missing or what wrong I am doing in this setup ??* (kolla_ansible_venv3) ubuntu@ubuntu-VM:~$ grep ^[^#] /etc/kolla/globals.yml --- workaround_ansible_issue_8743: yes config_strategy: "COPY_ALWAYS" kolla_base_distro: "ubuntu" openstack_release: "2023.1" kolla_internal_vip_address: "10.220.0.24" kolla_external_vip_address: "{{ kolla_internal_vip_address }}" kolla_container_engine: docker network_interface: "ens224" neutron_external_interface: "ens160" neutron_plugin_agent: "openvswitch" nova_compute_virt_type: "qemu" (kolla_ansible_venv3) ubuntu@ubuntu-VM:~$

[nova] dry-run migration api
by Pavlo Shchelokovskyy 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Hi all, Recently I've been looking into various load optimizations tooling for OpenStack (like Watcher), and noticed a lacking feature that could make such tooling much more robust and useful. The optimization tooling usually collects some metric about compute hosts and instances that nova may be totally unaware of (e.g. power consumption of a compute node in Watts), and then tries to reshuffle the instances between hypervisors to optimize said metric in some sense. The problem is, the tool has no idea beforehand if nova will actually allow moving this given instance to this given hypervisor. I am talking about resource consumption, resource provider traits, image and aggregate metadata matching, numa placement, server group affinities etc. To know all this for sure, the optimization tool would have to duplicate most of the nova scheduler and good part of placement inside of itself - which is not feasible. This is why AFAIU in Watcher all available strategies mention that they expect "any VM to be migrateable to any hypervisor", which is far from many if not most real life deployments. What I suggest is adding a new API to nova to effectively have a 'migration dry run' - it should return the list of target hosts a given instance may be migrated to, accounting for all the knowledge nova has about the instance and the hypervisors. The list can be already sorted by nova weighers to signal the preferred choice from nova side. AFAIU such a new API would not require any drastic changes in Nova - the most of the code is already there, used during migrations, only that at the last step, instead of choosing the best compute and actually initiating the migration process, the result of filtering and weighing will be returned to the caller in some form. Would there be interest in such an API? If yes, I could start writing and proposing a spec. Best regards, -- Dr. Pavlo Shchelokovskyy Principal Software Engineer Mirantis Inc www.mirantis.com

Please don't drop the list from your response. I'm not very familiar with kolla, but if you're able to ping the instance via floating IP it seems okayish. Maybe you need to set neutron_external_interface to ens192 instead? Someone with more kolla experience will probably correct me here, so don't rely on my response.

[oslo][release][requirement] FFE request for oslo.context
by Takashi Kajinami 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Hello, I'd like to request an exception to merge a change[1] to oslo.context and create a new stable/2024.1 release. This change is required to fix the problem which is current blocking us from bumping oslo.messaging to the final 2024.2 release version (14.7.0)[2]. The change is small and has quite limited impact. I've tested the modification locally and confirmed it fixes the heat unit tests.

[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

[all][elections][tc] TC Election Campaigning Kickoff
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.
