Subject: Assistance Needed: Restricting Owner Role to Manage Users and Projects Within Their Own Project
by Thamanna Farhath 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

Hi OpenStack Community, I am currently using openstack kolla ansible 2023.1, now facing an issue with the role-based access control in my OpenStack deployment.Could you please assist me in achieving my requirements for proper role configuration and access management? I have created a custom role named "owner" with permissions to create, delete, and manage users and projects, and also to assign users to projects. However, I want to restrict the "owner" role to manage only the users and projects within their own project, and not across other projects. Here is the policy file configuration(/etc/kolla/keystone/policy.yaml) I am using: yaml # Custom rule to allow users with the 'owner' role to manage users and projects identity:create_project: "role:owner or role:admin" admin_or_owner: "rule:admin_required or project_id:%(target.project.id)s" identity:delete_project: "rule:admin_or_owner" identity:delete_user: "rule:admin_or_owner" identity:create_user: "role:owner or role:admin" identity:get_user: "role:owner or role:admin or role:member or role:user" identity:list_users: "role:owner or role:admin" identity:update_user: "role:owner or role:admin" identity:create_grant: "role:owner or role:admin" identity:list_grants: "role:owner or role:admin" I have the following questions: Is the above policy configuration correct for achieving the desired restrictions? Are there any other possibilities or best practices to ensure that the "owner" role can only delete users and projects within their own project? How can I improve or adjust the policy rules to meet these requirements effectively? Thank you in advance for your assistance. ---- On Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:49:22 +0530 Artem Goncharov <artem.goncharov(a)gmail.com> wrote --- Hi, 1) in Keystone we are currently working on implementing domain manager persona that allows certain person on a "customer" side to do project and user operations.

[ironic] SNMP hardware type
by Julia Kreger 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Greetings folks, For those that are unaware of it, Ironic has an snmp[0] hardware type which allows for the remote control of power ports on an PDU, which makes Ironic powerful for a variety of non-traditional computing hardware to be leveraged with Ironic. If you are aware of this hardware type and happen to use it, you may want to engage with the Upstream community. Historically we've used a tool called virtualpdu[1] to facilitate testing, and we're facing some challenges with newer pysnmp[2] versions. These challenges have us wondering if there is value for us to fix virtualpdu and continue upstream testing. Realistically, if nobody steps forward to help maintain virtualpdu and the snmp hardware type, upstream testing may become limited or be discontinued for the snmp hardware type entirely, which is likely to impact users of this hardware type. If you're interested in helping maintain the hardware type and its testing, please reach out to the Ironic team via the weekly team meeting[3]. Thanks, -Julia [0]: https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/admin/drivers/snmp.html [1]: https://opendev.org/openstack/virtualpdu [2]: https://pypi.org/project/pysnmp-lextudio/#history [3]: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Ironic

[nova] "failure domain" scheduler
by Mohammed Naser 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Hi everyone I had a discussion a few days ago in the #openstack-nova about the possibility of introducing the concept of different failure domains, which would be a component inside of an availability zone. The concept is similar to Azure’s availability set feature: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/availability-set-o… I’ve built a very similar nova scheduler filter which leverages server groups + another scheduler hint called `different_failure_domain` then it will actually build them inside different failure domains. The failure domains are built similar to AZs in terms of being modeled are using aggregates, so it would use a `failure_domain` aggregate metadata. I’ve managed to build and validate this functionality with my team here: https://github.com/vexxhost/nova-scheduler-filters Now, based on that, I’m wondering if: 1. Is this the best approach to take based on this? 2. Is this something we can upstream into Nova easily as an extra filter? I think this is helpful for a lot of the “VMware” world people. 😊 Thanks, Mohammed

numa filtering
by Gk Gk 11 Jul '24

How does the scheduler check the numa nodes availability in the background ? Does it use any db like placement to calculate the allocation, resource etc for numa ? I need just the logic in the scheduler for this check ? Thanks Y.G

[nova] Instance stuck in hard reboot
by Francesco Di Nucci 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Hi all, I hard rebooted an instance while a compute node was down, and now on the dashboard/CLI it is stuck in hard rebooting status. I am able to start/stop/reset it through virsh on the compute node, but I can't get it out of this loop in OpenStack, any suggestions? Thanks in advance -- Francesco Di Nucci System Administrator Compute & Networking Service, INFN Naples Email: francesco.dinucci(a)na.infn.it

[Swift - proxy server] manually exclude nodes via new middleware
by Olivier Chaze 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Hi all, I am writing to introduce a new middleware component, ExcludeNode, which we've just started to develop to enhance node management within the Swift proxy server. [Middleware Overview] ExcludeNode is designed to dynamically exclude specific nodes from the proxy's operations. This middleware reads a list of nodes to be excluded from a specified file and prevents these nodes from being considered during normal operations. Main reason for developing this middleware is to avoid objects request latency/failure when nodes are down or when rebalancing objects after adding new nodes for example. The main functionalities include: - Node Exclusion Check: Validates if a node (IP:PORT) is listed in the exclusion file. - Dynamic Updates: Allows updating the exclusion list by writing node information to the specified file (IP:PORT). - Clear the exclusion list How to use it ? Assuming 1.2.3.4 storage node is down, requests will fail with : proxy-server: ERROR with Object server 1.2.3.4:6210/sdm re: Trying to GET /v1/AUTH_[...]: ConnectionTimeout (2.0s) (txn: tx19b7067dcb0c442e96a10-0066867068) To ban the disk 1.2.3.4:6210/sdm , on each proxy-server : curl -X POST `hostname`:8080/exclude_node -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d {"ip":"'1.2.3.4","port":6210}"' in proxy-server.log will be logged : proxy-server: Node added to exclusion list: 1.2.3.4:6210 (txn: tx0f292e3b08f940b5be3d9-0066867068) This way, the node won't serve any request and depending the request type, this latter will be redirected to another primary or handoff node. It will remain like this until the disk is manually removed from the exclusion list and every time this node would have been chosen to serve a request you'll get a log : proxy-server: Node 1.2.3.4:6210 (sdm) explicitly excluded by exclude_node middleware. (txn: txeb9f5953ee3343dbb9699-006686707a) I would greatly appreciate the community's feedback on the following: * FUNCTIONALITY: Does the middleware fulfill a common need? * IMPLEMENTATION: Are there any concerns regarding the code implementation or its impact on existing functionalities? We'd like to submmit this middleware upstream but to be efficient and avoid wasting everybody's time I'd like some feedbacks first :) The code itself is quite simple today but we plan to add features like auto excluding a node reported as unmounted by swift-recon for example. exclude_node.py middleware : https://kpaste.infomaniak.com/nRp8AdJGnMuLCoP7czIbL9IBJjlSkyYS#ARXTJo5ZnGa5… server.py modification : https://kpaste.infomaniak.com/Qvy992wlRbc6yEgrIPhAhyrh2V3-Gipy#E2TaKDAXQdXp… proxy-server.conf : [pipeline:main] - pipeline = [...] proxy-server + pipeline = [...] exclude_node proxy-server [filter:exclude_node] use=egg:swift#exclude_node exclude_nodes_filename = /dev/shm/excluded_nodes Thank you in advance for your feedback, Olivier

Cannot create windows image on Openstack
by Ramzi Abdallah 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

I have installed openstack version bobcat on Centos 9 Stream. The installation went fine and I am able to login and launch the cirros image. The problem I am facing is with windows images. When I try to upload the Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Evaluation for OpenStack which I downloaded from cloudebase I get this error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'data') - Error: Unable to create the image. At first I though the problem is from the image so I created my own with all the needed drivers and got the same problem. Appreciate any help is someone experienced this before Ramzi
