Good morning, I currently have an Openstack cluster made up of 3 nodes, an iscsi bay (10T), 576 G of Ram, 10T, 288vcpus. This cluster is used by around 150 students, but is reaching its limits. Having obtained a budget to set up a larger cluster, I am wondering about the choice of the number of nodes, their role (how many controllers, network, compute, etc.) and above all what solution for storage. Let's imagine a budget to buy 6 servers with good capacities, is the right choice Ceph storage (with cinder and rdb?) on the Openstack cluster nodes? Do we need 3 servers for a Ceph cluster and 3 for the Openstack part (in this case I lose capacity for the "compute" part)... I don't know what the right choices are and above all, I have a little afraid of going in the wrong directions. Could any of you guide me, or give me links to sites that could help me (and that I haven't seen). Thanks in advance Franck VEDEL Dép.

[release] Release countdown for week R-2, March 25-29
by Herve Beraud 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Development Focus ----------------- We are on the final mile of the 2024.1 Caracal development cycle! Remember that the 2024.1 Caracal final release will include the latest release candidate (for cycle-with-rc deliverables) or the latest intermediary release (for cycle-with-intermediary deliverables) available. March 28 is the deadline for final 2024.1 Caracal release candidates as well as any last cycle-with-intermediary deliverables. We will then enter a quiet period until we tag the final release on April 3, 2024. Teams should be prioritizing fixing release-critical bugs, before that deadline. Otherwise it's time to start planning the 2024.2 Dalmatian development cycle, including discussing Forum and PTG sessions content, in preparation of the 2024.2 Dalmatian Virtual PTG (April 8-12, 2024).. Actions ------- Watch for any translation patches coming through on the stable/2024.1 branch and merge them quickly. If you discover a release-critical issue, please make sure to fix it on the master branch first, then backport the bugfix to the stable/2024.1 branch before triggering a new release. Also merge open release patches like https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:reno-2024.1+status:open. Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about the upcoming release ! Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Final 2024.1 Caracal release: April 3, 2024 2024.2 Dalmatian Virtual PTG: April 8-12, 2024 -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/

[watcher][caracal] release critical support for new oslo.db
by James Page 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Hi Watchers Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/watcher/+bug/2056181 Watcher 12.0.0 RC1 is not compatible with oslo.db 15.0.0 - the test suite has numerous failures as the DB api module has not been updated for the changes in oslo.db to support SQLAlchemy 2.0+. Raising awareness mainly - I can take a look at this but if anyone else with more experience of this transition can help much appreciated. Cheers James

Folks, I am trying to upgrade kolla-ansible deployment from 2023.1 to 2023.2.

[openstack-helm-infra][mariadb] mysql-exporter installation does not support ServiceMonitor
by mohammadk7798＠gmail.com 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

Hi folks. When you enable exporter monitoring, you need to create the ServiceMonitor manually and the whole "enabling monitoring" experience does not feel complete. Do we want to add support for that? I can send a pull request for this feature.

[PTG] Less than One Month Reminders!
by Kendall Nelson 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Hello Everyone, The April PTG is rapidly approaching and team moderators are signing up for time to meet via the PTGbot. The schedule is filling up and we are excited to see you all! If you have not yet registered, please do so! It's free![1]. Another note about this PTG in particular, Meetpad is the default video conferencing tool. TTeam moderators are able to override the meeting URL if they choose to do so in order to make use of other tools. We do have a few zoom rooms if needed. This is the first PTG we are doing this for, so please give us feedback[2] with as many details as possible if you run into any issues with Meetpad. Open source needs open tools after all! If you have any questions, please let us know via email to ptg(a)openinfra.dev . Thank you! -Kendall Nelson Senior Upstream Developer Advocate The OpenInfra Foundation [1] http://ptg2023.openinfra.dev/ [2] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/April2024-PTG-Feedback

[swift] Can I use oslo.log / oslo.config in swift? Can we make Swift behave like the rest of OpenStack?
by Thomas Goirand 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Hi, Because we had some issues with a bad rebalance in production (we didn't loose any data, but some drives went full...), I attempted to implement the Swift mitigation to prevent disk full scenarios. I found that what upstream recommends [1] is a script that's written in Python 2, and that wouldn't work at all: it's not only very old, it's also a very partial implementation. So I wrote this: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/swift/+/907523 But then, I was told (thanks for the review!) that I shouldn't be using oslo.config and/or oslo.log, as other parts of Swift don't do that. I do understand that the rest of Swift is like this, and therefore, the review comment is probably right. However... Back in the days, I would have understood why things would have been written that way: the Oslo libs were young, and not available everywhere, and it was kind of a good idea not to use them. But now, fast forward in 2024, I found that Swift behaving differently from the rest of OpenStack is more a problem than a feature. It's also very frustrating to use the old way with the config_parser, which can't auto-generate the config file and so on. So I am wondering: - is it still the case, that I shouldn't use oslo.config / oslo.log when adding a patch in Swift? - can we revisit this, and convert swift to oslo.config generated config files, and PBR shell-script entry points instead of binary simply dropped into the toplevel bin folder? Can we make swift smarter and behave like the rest of OpenStack? :) Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo) [1] https://docs.openstack.org/swift/latest/admin_guide.html#preventing-disk-fu…

[magnum] Register PTG interest
by Jake Yip 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Hi all, If you are interested in attending the Magnum PTG, please fill up your interest in the planning etherpad [1] The Magnum team is very small and spread across EU and AU/NZ, so it is difficult to find slots that will suit all, but we are going to try :) P.S. There is already a tentative booking for Wed, 10 Apr, 06-08 UTC, which works for the current Cores. I am still open to shifting if there are overwhelming demand.

Practical workshop labs for Meetups?
by Julia Kreger 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Hey folks, Yesterday, I took part in the Los Angeles OpenInfra meetup, and a question that came up from some of the organizers was if there are any practical workshop labs we can walk folks through to sort of show some practical/concrete usage aspects of OpenStack? Is anyone aware of any such materials? I ask because we are talking of trying to organize the next meetup in more a workshop style, especially as some participants did also express interest in hands on learning. Thanks in advance, -Julia
