[all][dev][ops][tc] Bridging the gap between community and contributing orgs
by Jeremy Stanley 16 Jun '25

16 Jun '25

The tl;dr on this is that I'm opening a broad community discussion on how we can, collectively through improved communication, better bring together our established contributors with casual and prospective contributors who struggle to find successful patterns of contribution, so that we might all support each other in order to benefit OpenStack as a whole. Read on for details... OpenStack's TC has requested that foundation staff, when in conversation with representatives of member organizations, encourage participation in the project and collect feedback on any related challenges those organizations encounter in their attempts to do so. In order to better understand the feedback and brainstorm achievable recommendations for the broader community[*], Community Managers on the foundation staff started to work with a small focus group of established contributors with a solid understanding of what successful patterns of contribution look like. It also came to light that established contributors experience many of the same sorts of challenges, even more so if they don't have the luxury of focusing full-time upstream, and so success often comes down to knowing how to effectively navigate those challenges. The community's goal with this exercise is to improve everyone's experience, and your help is needed to do that! The most common themes reported by those struggling to contribute are not related to tooling or workflow confusion, but instead seem to come down to basic communication challenges. Ideas so far to address these gaps include: * Review bandwidth - Ensure contributors and companies understand the importance and benefits of code review - Incentivize and credit meaningful "+1" reviews more - Understand that the volume of changes and limited reviewer bandwidth often means proposals aren't reviewed quickly (or at all), and their proponents may need some additional tenacity and engagement with the team to get their work noticed - Utilize "review dashboards" as a way to find stale changes which have fallen through the cracks * Review strategy and etiquette - Be clear about the meaning of votes on changes, especially negative ones, and set explicit timelines for things like "procedural -2" or WIP blocks when their approval needs to be delayed - Focus on comments and requests that affect whether or not the change can be merged after the fixes are submitted, rather than requesting trivial adjustments to an unsuitable change which has more fundamental problems - Reciprocate with reviews of changes from new reviewers you see leaving insubstantial reviews, demonstrating to them what deeper and more meaningful reviewing looks like * Mentoring newcomers - Established contributors with sufficient bandwidth can help mentoring newcomers, potential core reviewers and new leaders - Mentoring can happen as part of internship programs as well as by helping newcomers determined to become active contributors; both ways should be embraced and utilized What challenges are you facing? And, how would you improve them? Two weeks from now, we'll have a forum session at the OpenInfra Summit Asia in Suwon[**] where our community can refine these possible approaches and integrate others, as well as bring attention to them and promote their application. I've also proposed a similar forum session for OpenInfra Days North America in Indianapolis a month after that, where we can hopefully continue this conversation. The goal for this multi-stage effort is to improve the contribution experience for established participants, casual contributors and newcomers alike. While it's easy to jump to blaming in these situations, it will be far more productive if we can focus on the challenges and experiences that we would each like to remove or improve for ourselves and others in our community. As we find ways together to improve our efficiency, we can reduce the load on all contributors and lower the barriers for people to join and participate.

Fwd: DPDK+OVS with OpenStack
by Mark Wittling 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Looking for someone who knows OpenStack with OpenVSwitch, and in addition to that, DPDK with OpenStack and OVS.I am using OpenStack Queens, with OpenVSwitch. The architecture I am using is documented here: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/queens/admin/deploy-ovs-provider.htmlThe OVS I am using on the Compute Node, is compiled with DPDK, and I have enabled the datapath to netdev (DPDK) on br-prv (provider network bridge), and br-tun (tunneling bridge). But these two bridges, br-tun and br-prv, are patched into another OpenStack bridge, called br-int. I wasn’t actually sure about whether to tinker with this bridge, and wondered what datapath it was using.Then, I realized there is a parameter in the openvswitch_agent.ini file, which I will list here: # OVS datapath to use. 'system' is the default value and corresponds to the # kernel datapath. To enable the userspace datapath set this value to 'netdev'. # (string value) # Possible values: # system - <No description provided> # netdev - <No description provided> #datapath_type = system datapath_type = netdev So in tinkering with this, what I realized, is that when you set this datapath_type to system or netdev, it will adjust the br-int bridge to that datapath type.So here is my question. How can I launch a non-DPDK VM, if all of the bridges are using the netdev datapath type?Here is another question. What if one of the flavors don’t have the largepages property set on them? I assumed OpenStack would revert to a system datapath and not use DPDK for those VM interfaces. Well, I found out in testing, that is not the case. If you set all your bridges up for netdev, and you don’t set the property on the Flavor of the VM (largepages), the VM will launch, but it simply won’t work.Is there no way, on a specific Compute Host, to support both DPDK (netdev datapaths) and non-DPDK (system datapaths)?Either on a VM interface level (VM has one interface that is netdev DPDK and another that is system datapath non-DPDK)?Or on a VM by VM basis (VM 1 has 1 or more netdev datapath interfaces and VM 2 has 1 or more system datapath interfaces)?Am I right here? Once you set up a Compute Host for DPDK, it’s DPDK or nothing on that Compute Host? (edited)

How to config DPDK compute in OVN
by dangerzone ar 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

Hi....as far I understand ovs does support dpdk compute to be deployed. I'm referring to the guideline ' *https://docs.openstack.org/networking-ovn/queens/admin/dpdk.html <https://docs.openstack.org/networking-ovn/queens/admin/dpdk.html>* ' ... It's too brief.. May I know how to config dpdk compute in OVN networking openstack? Hope someone could help what is the config to be done.... Currently compute is run without dpdk over openstack train ovn based. Please need some info on how I can proceed. Thank you

[oslo] python-consul2 is unmaintained
by Takashi Kajinami 21 Apr '25

21 Apr '25

Hello, I recently noticed that python-consul2 library[1], which is used by the consul coordination driver in tooz, hasn't been updated for 3+ years. Looking at issues in the project, there is an indication that the library is not compatible with ACL API in consul >= 1.11[2]. There is another fork created[3] and this includes fixes to support new API endpoints. Although the driver in tooz does not directly use the feature, I think it's better to discuss our plan to mitigate risks caused by the unmaintained library. As far as I can think of, there are three options now 1. Deprecate consul driver and remove it 2. Keep using python-consul2 now. At least basic functionality is proven to work by our functional tests (Note that the tests do not cover all configuration patterns) 3. Replace python-consul2 by py-consul Before we start the overall discussions I'd like to ask a few questions to the wider audience, as our inputs. - Is anyone using the consul coordination driver now ? - Does anyone have experience with python-consul2 and/or py-consul ? Note that this discussion affects the http messaging driver[4] currently proposed, because it also requires client library to communicate with Consul. Actually I noticed the situation when I noticed that the requirement check job is failing because the library is not part of global requirements list... Thank you, Takashi Kajinami [1] https://github.com/poppyred/python-consul2 [2] https://github.com/poppyred/python-consul2/issues/42 [3] https://github.com/criteo-forks/py-consul [4] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.messaging/+/912499 -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit

by Ghanshyam Mann 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

Hello everyone, As you might know, the Monasca project is not active and was marked 'inactive' since 2024.1 cycle[1]. In this cycle also, this project is leaderless[2] and no maintainer stepped up to maintain it. As discussed in the Leaderless project etherpad[2], the next step is to retire the project. I'm sending this email to propose the Monasca retirement and based on the response, I will proceed next.

[ironic]About the OS supported by Diskimage-builder
by Junya Noguchi (Fujitsu) 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

To whom it may concern. My name is Junya Noguchi. I have some questions about the supported OS for Diskimage-builder operation. Please respond. References https://docs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent-builder/latest/admin/dib.html Does it mean that the OS that says "work but receive only limited testing and support" works but is not supported? References https://docs.openstack.org/diskimage-builder/latest/ This document describes RHEL and other operating systems that are not supported in the previous question. Are these operating systems supported? Also, are there any plans to support more operating systems in the future? Best regards, Junya Noguchi

[glance][ops] proposal to remove the glance-scrubber
by Brian Rosmaita 19 Jan '25

19 Jan '25

Hello Glance users, The Glance project team wants to determine whether anyone is using the glance-scrubber utility [0]. If not, we are thinking of deprecating it this cycle to be removed in the appropriate future cycle. If you have not previously heard of the glance-scrubber, that's most likely because it's only useful for particular deployment configurations of which yours is not one. See the doc [0] for details if you are curious. Our suspicion is that the glance-scrubber may have outlived its usefulness for modern OpenStack configurations. (The last time I remember it being discussed at a PTG was during the snowstorm in Dublin, which I believe was the Rocky development cycle). On the other hand, the team also has some ideas for improving the scrubber, but there's no point doing that if it's not actually being used in the first place. So if removal of the glance-scrubber would negatively affect you, please respond to this email so we can get some data points. Thanks!

[cinder][kubernetes] pvc stuck in reserved state
by Eugen Block 10 Jan '25

10 Jan '25

Hi, we have a couple of k8s clusters in our openstack environment (Victoria) and are facing some problems when pods get moved to different worker nodes. The PVCs get stuck in "reserved" state, and they only get attached after resetting the volumes to "available" state. First I thought it was due to the missing multiattach volume type which seems to work fine in our customer's cluster. I also found the "duplicate connector" error messages in the nova-compute.log: > Unable to update attachment.(Invalid volume: duplicate connectors > detected on volume But after adding the multiattach volume type and retyping the affected volumes, the PVCs still get stuck in "reserved" state while I don't see any error messages on the hypervisors anymore. So it seems that something has changed/improved, but now I don't have a trace where to look next. Could this be a cinder-csi driver issue or something? Our cinder backend is ceph (Pacific). Not sure which information could help so please ask for anything I can provide. Any pointers are highly appreciated! Thanks! Eugen

[ironic] Having issue with deploying ISO image to node
by James Leong 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

Hi all, I am trying to play around with ironic, and I am having an issue with deploying an Ubuntu 20.04 ISO image onto my bare metal node. Since I am quite new to bare metal, I am not entirely sure what went wrong as I couldn't find any error messages shown on my log file (ironic-conductor, ironic-api, ironic_neutron_agent, and nova-compute-ironic). This might be my guess; the ironic inspection is hitting timeout, which is causing the deployment to timeout. However, I have no idea why the inspection is failing at timeout. Any help would be appreciated. Best, James

Kolla Ansible on Ubuntu 20.04 - cloud-init & other network issues
by Tobias McNulty 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

Hi, I'm attempting to use Kolla Ansible 14.6.0 to deploy OpenStack Yoga on a small 3-node Ubuntu 20.04 cluster. The nodes have 128 GB RAM each, dual Xeon processors, and dual 10G Intel NICs. The NICs are connected to access ports on a 10G switch with separate VLANs for the local and external networks. All the playbooks run cleanly, but cloud-init is failing in the Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 VMs I attempt to boot. The VM images are unmodified from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/, and cloud-init works fine if I mount a second volume with user-data. The error is a timeout attempting to reach 169.254.169.254. This occurs both when booting a VM in an internal routed network and directly in an external network. I tried various neutron plugin agents (ovn, linuxbridge, and openvswitch both with and without firewall_driver = openvswitch <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/reference/networking/neutro…>) first with a clean install of the entire OS each time, all with the same result. Running tcpdump looking for 169.254.169.254 shows nothing. As a possible clue, the virtual NICs are unable to pass any traffic (e.g., to reach an external DHCP server) unless I completely disable port security on the interface (even if the associated security group is wide open). But disabling port security does not fix cloud-init (not to mention I don't really want to disable port security). Are there any additional requirements related to deploying OpenStack with Kolla on Ubuntu 20.04? This is a fairly vanilla configuration using the multinode inventory as a starting point. I tried to follow the Quick Start <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/yoga/user/quickstart.html> as closely as possible; the only material difference I see is that I'm using the same 3 nodes for control + compute. I am using MAAS so it's easy to get a clean OS install on all three nodes ahead of each attempt. I plan to try again with the standard (non-HWE) kernel just in case, but otherwise I am running out of ideas. In case of any additional clues, here are my globals.yml and inventory file, along with the playbook I'm using to configure the network, images, VMs, etc., after bootstrapping the cluster: https://gist.github.com/tobiasmcnulty/7dbbdbc67abc08cbb013bf5983852ed6 Thank you in advance for any advice!

[trove][zaqar][vitrage] What to do with projects not supporting SQLAlchemy 2.x ?
by Thomas Goirand 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi, A number of project still don't have support for SQLAlchemy 2.x, which is currently in Debian testing/unstable, and which will be the version in Debian 13 (aka: Trixie). If these project don't get quickly support for SQLAlchemy 2.x, they are going to drop (well, in fact, they were already kicked out of Debian Testing). Are these project still maintained? IMO, no support for SQLAlchemy 2.x is a reason good enough to declare they aren't... Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Re: Migratekit: near-live migrations from VMware to OpenStack
by Oliver Weinmann 13 Sep '24

13 Sep '24

Hi Mohammed, We struggled using virt-v2v directly with OpenStack. Our approach was using ovftool to export the VM as OVA and then create a qcow2 image that we can import in OpenStack. So many manual steps involved. So I tested your tool aganst vsphere 7.x vcenter. But I just can't manage to get it working. It keeps complaining about the path of the source VM. I can use the following just fine with virt-v2v: virt-v2v -v -x --password-file pass.txt -ic vpx:// user123(a)vcenter.somedomain.local /GE%Office%20One/Projects/esx01.somedomain.local?no_verify=1 test-vm-01 Using the same in your tool: docker run -it --rm --privileged \ -v /dev:/dev \ -v /usr/lib64/vmware-vix-disklib/:/usr/lib64/vmware-vix-disklib:ro \ --env-file <(env | grep OS_) registry.atmosphere.dev/library/migratekit:latest migrate \ --vmware-endpoint vcenter.somedomain.local \ --vmware-username user123 \ --vmware-password XXXXXX \ --vmware-path /GE%Office%20One/Projects/esx01.somedomain.local/test-vm-01 Results in: Error: vm '/GE%Office%20One/Projects/ esx01.somedomain.local/test-vm-01 ' not found I tried many different variants of the path none has worked. Is there a way to lookup the path of a VM? I can also use: virsh -c 'vpx:// user123(a)vcenter.somedomain.local /GE%Office%20One/Projects/esx01.somedomain.local?no_verify=1 list --all which shows me all VMs running on that particular ESXi host.

Hello everyone! We've added an entry to the Swift ideas page about implementing Object Locks. The full description of what this would be and how we expect it to work is in the ideas page here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift/ideas/object-lock I have two questions of the community. The first is whether work on this would be accepted by the Swift project, as we wouldn't want to expend efforts on something we'd have to carry as our own patches to upstream. The second is if there is any interest from other people to collaborate on design/implementation of the locking feature. Happy to take replies off-list if people prefer, and thanks for reading this far! (Ob-reply: Yes, we know Ceph RGW does this already. We use Swift for Object for $REASONS, which we'd like to keep doing.) -- David Zanetti Chief Technology Officer [1]Aotearoa New Zealand's cloud provider e david.zanetti(a)catalystcloud.nz w catalystcloud.nz Follow us on LinkedIn [2] Level 9, 33 Federal Street, Auckland 1010 [1] https://catalystcloud.nz/ [2] Follow us on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/catalyst-cloud-limited/

by Herve Beraud 06 Sep '24

Hi all, As Python 3.13 is close to become a reality, new concerning incompatibilities between this new CPython version and Eventlet also become a reality: - https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/964 Fedora Python maintainers proposed a patch, but for now the problem remains unsolved. Also, many people reported bugs related to incompatibility between python3.12/dnspython/eventlet/pip-system-cert. There is an example who summarize well the problem https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/957 Do you have some visibility concerning the adoption of Python 3.13 into Openstack? Turbulences ahead... -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/

Hi everyone, I would like to propose Brian Haley and Nicolas Bock for the OpenStack Charms core development team. Both Brian and Nicolas have been members of the stable charms core team since 2023 and been hugely helpful in that role, providing insightful feedback to reviews as well as contributions of their own. Nicolas has also been a contributor to the OpenStack charms for many years and Brian is well versed in the ways of upstream OpenStack maintenance through his role as Neutron PTL so I have full confidence that they will prove valuable additions to the charms-core team. Thank you both for your contributions to the project! Regards, Ed

[Kolla] [LetsEncrypt] Internal/External/Backend Certificates
by jjjamesg＠proton.me 05 Sep '24

Hi all, another one here that can't seem to get kolla running with letsencrypt certs, just curious as to what settings are required for kolla to pull internal/external/backend certs from letsencrypt? I've looked at the docs and have tried a few settings but keep getting errors, sure i had this working last week before i tore it down ready to deploy for production and now i just cant get it to complete the deployment because of certs, only thing i can think of is i need to run kolla-ansible -i multinode certificates but i thought that was just for self made certs? Also, what are best practices for backend tls certs, self signed or using the internal cert etc?? Is it possible to use letsencrypt at all for backend? Cheers all
