[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 19 Mar '24

19 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

[aodh][ec2-api][sahara][trove][vitrage][watcher] autocommit was (again) removed from LegacyEngineFacade
by Takashi Kajinami 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Hello, Please be aware that LegacyEngineFacade in the latest oslo db release for caracal no longer enables autocommit[1]. Removal was attempted in the previous release, as part of the overall efforts to adapt to sqlalchemy 2.0, but later reverted[2] because multiple projects need more time to adapt to the change. Now the removal is again proposed for caracal and the version currently listed in upper constraints no longer provides that functionality. Quickly searching the current usage by hound, it seems the project listed in this mail title still contains autocommit=True in LegacyEngineFacade, and is likely broken by the change. I'd suggest checking CI status to evaluate the impact. Note 1: The list may be incomplete Note 2: It seems aodh is not actually relying on autocommit and the removal might not be affecting it [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.db/+/875986 [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.db/+/895631 Thank you, Takashi -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit

Use Openstack SDK for Swift
by Albert Braden 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

I'm writing a script that will use admin credentials to check user projects for containers. I'm already doing something similar for non-swift accounts, doing things like: cloud.network.networks(project_id=projectid): I read here about the Object SDK: https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/latest/user/guides/object_store.html And I tried this: cloud.object_store.containers(project_id=projectid): But I get an error: Invalid query params: project_id I read the Object SDK document here and it doesn't seem to say anything about how to specify a project: https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/latest/user/proxies/object_store.ht… But when I read the Swift API document, I see that I can use "/v1/{account}/{container}", so I'm guessing that there must be a way to do it via the SDK. https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/object-store/#show-container-details-and… Is it possible to specify the project in an Object SDK call, or do I need to use the old python API for this?

Tacker REST API Authentication
by Ravichandran Venkataraman (veravich) 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Hi, Is it possible to use username/password for authentication of Tacker REST API calls? In the tacker.conf, I see both BASIC and OAUTH2 methods for authentication. If I set the auth_type to BASIC and configure the user_name and password values, will I be able to make the REST calls with these username and password? Thanks and regards, Ravichandran
