[all][dev][ops][tc] Bridging the gap between community and contributing orgs
by Jeremy Stanley 24 Apr '25

24 Apr '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

[tc][all][monasca ] Retiring the Monasca project
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

[horizon] SCSS compilers
by Radomir Dopieralski 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

The openstack dashboard uses scss for styling, and so far we have used a python scss library for compiling those files to css for use in the browser. However, that library (pyscss) had in recent years some problems, and is not developed or supported by the authors anymore. So it's time to switch to something with a better support. The django-compressor plugin that we use for handling the compilation of files allows us to use any command-line tool to do the compilation, so we can switch to an scss compiler that is supported and used by the wider community. However, there are several options we can choose from: sassc python-libsass pysassc ruby-sass ruby-sassc node-node-sass Each of those would introduce a non-python dependency on the dashboard. The question for the packagers and distro maintainer is which of those tools would be preferable in terms of support, packaging, and maintenance for the long term? Do you have opinions? Maybe there is another tool that would be even better that I didn't find?

OpenStack Cinder - Volume-ID in cinder DB
by Harsh Ailani 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hello contributors, I am working on clone operation for a volumegroup and in that the volume ID auto-generated by OpenStack is not the one with which the clone volumes are being created on my IBM storage backend. This is as per design that IBM Storage backend will take the source-volume ID in the source-volumegroup and add a suffix to it while cloning. Now since there is a mismatch in the IDs between cinder and storage backend, because of which I am unable to perform any volume operations on this cloned volume. So, I was wondering if I can change the volume ID in cinder DB? I know that it’s a unique key and there is a limit of 36 characters for this field in cinder DB, but since I cannot change the volume in storage backend, I wanted to check if there is a way I can alter the volume ID in cinder DB? Kindly share your thoughts/suggestions on this matter. Thanks and Regards, Harsh Ailani

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! Cheers, Tobias

Improving stestr... or switching to a (better) compatible test runner?
by Thomas Goirand 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

Hi, This is the 2nd time I'm opening a thread about it. Sorry for this, but it really bothers me. Today, running tempest, I got these stats from stestr: - Worker 0 (132 tests) => 0:24:49.209885 - Worker 1 (100 tests) => 0:17:14.791845 - Worker 2 (124 tests) => 0:42:52.690906 - Worker 3 (189 tests) => 0:41:21.307241 - Worker 4 (159 tests) => 0:45:49.503031 - Worker 5 (143 tests) => 0:28:13.282371 - Worker 6 (156 tests) => 3:16:52.364976 - Worker 7 (103 tests) => 0:46:05.366089 So, thread #1 ran 17 minutes, sitting idle for the rest of the 3 hours run of thread #6. While I thought stestr was deviding the number of tests by the number of thread, I don't get why worker #1 only had 100 tests assigned. All together, all tests could have been ran within maybe less than an hour of time (rather than 3h16 above), if not-yet-ran-tests were reassigned to idle treads. I'm currently spending a lot of time on running tempest. Indeed, I'm running tempest on each OpenStack upgrade, from Victoria up to Dalmatian. With the current way stestr run, it may take 2 full days to do that (and that's not even counting when upgrade will fail and will need fixing...), when it could be done in maybe 8 hours (if I count 1h per OpenStack release). So, knowing the above, it might be a good use of my time to dig into stestr and see if I can fix this... or not! Does anyone have a suggestion for another test runner, that's compatible with stestr, at least for the tests selection with a regular expression? As much as I know, pytest cannot take a regexp for test selection, can it? Or is there maybe a plugin for it? If there's no compatible test runner, where should I dig in the stestr code to rewrite things in a smarter way? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo) P.S: On Caracal today, I just had this: ============== Worker Balance ============== - Worker 0 (117 tests) => 0:59:32.291385 - Worker 1 (147 tests) => 1:22:28.228980 - Worker 2 (125 tests) => 0:45:20.969397 - Worker 3 (114 tests) => 1:46:21.667579 - Worker 4 (170 tests) => 0:45:27.577738 - Worker 5 (190 tests) => 2:28:39.744920 - Worker 6 (182 tests) => 2:29:01.402255 - Worker 7 (152 tests) => 2:29:10.183359 this looks better, but that's probably 1/ random 2/ still not perfect, with worker #0, #2 and #4 doing nothing 2/3rd of the time.

[tc][watcher] No leaders for project team, heading to retirement
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

Hello Stackers, The "watcher" project [1] did not have any volunteers to lead the project in the 2025.1 election cycle. In the past few years, the project's team has slowly disbanded and there have been no significant changes proposed/merged in the project's repositories [2]. We noticed that there were three deployers that noted their use of Watcher in production in the past user survey [3]. It's possible that the project failed to gather any significant adoption, and hence there's less interest in contributing to, and maintaining the project. I'm sending this notification pursuant to the OpenStack governance recommendations [4] to retire project teams. We can mark a project team "inactive", however, an "inactive" project must have some contributors aiming to build-back a maintainers team around it - and it must pick a project team lead, or adopt a distributed project leadership model by nominating liaisons. Since there are no PTL nominees, we think marking this project "inactive" serves no purpose. Is there any objection to retiring the "openstack/watcher" project (and associated deliverables: python-watcherclient, watcher-dashboard and watcher-tempest-plugin)? Once the project is retired, configuration management and deployment projects can drop their integrations as well. Thanks, On behalf of the OpenStack TC, Goutham Pacha Ravi [1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Watcher [2] https://review.opendev.org/q/(project:%5Eopenstack/watcher.*+OR+project:ope… [3] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/user_survey/analysis-2023.html [4] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/dropping-projects.html

Stop bumping major versions when dropping EOL Python versions
by Stephen Finucane 04 Oct '24

04 Oct '24

o/ Python 3.8 is going EOL (upstream, anyway) next month. We've been working to drop support for this from various SDK deliverables, and I'm guessing (though don't yet know for sure) that this will happen across other project deliverables before long (if it hasn't started happening already). One side-effect of this change is that we will be expected to raise the major version of the affected dependencies on our next release. This is annoying for projects like openstacksdk that use the release-with-intermediary release model because it forces us to have a major version release earlier than we would like to. To give a concrete example, we have a RemovedInSDK50Warning deprecation warning that we are using to indicate (as you might guess) things that we plan to remove in openstacksdk 5.0.0. We need to wait 6 months/1 OpenStack release before removing anything flagged with this warning, so this has been mainly applied to legacy deprecation warnings to put a concrete timeline on their removal. However, because we just dropped Python 3.8 support, it is currently expected that our next release be 5.0.0. We last deprecated something new ~2 months ago, so this means we either cannot release a new version of openstacksdk for 3-4 months (to allow 6 months to pass) or we need to either rename RemovedInSDK50Warning to RemovedInSDK60Warning or add a new RemovedInSDK60Warning and move the offending deprecations to this. None of these are nice options and to be honest, I don't think the major version bump really provides all that much value to end-users: they already have a much better signal for the removal of a Python version in the 'python_requires' marker in setup.py/setup.cfg/pyproject.toml/(other build system file). By using this, we ensure that a user simply can't install a version of a package that doesn't support their chosen Python version. I'd be in favour of getting rid of this particular constraint, and instead focusing on API changes when deciding whether to bump the major version. Is this a reasonable suggestion, and if so what would we need to do to tweak our policy to allow it? Cheers, Stephen

[Kolla-Ansible] [Ironic] Node Deploy Failed with MissingAuthPlugin
by Ali Hussain 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Hi Kolla and Ironic folks, While playing with stable/kolla release to fix the No VIF found error. Looks like adding Readers role to ironic user fixed it. But run into Missing Auth plugin [2] issue while image is being deployed to ironic node. Openstack endpoint list command [1] shows the correct IP of the controller. My question is: 1. Kolla-Ansible needs explicite Ironic keystone configuration in Ironic.conf? Following this link <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/yoga/reference/bare-metal/ironic-g…> which does not seems to need any keystone configurations. This issue is observed when 1. --boot-interface redfish-virtual-media 2. --deploy-interface ramdisk 3. --driver-info deploy_iso= 4. -instance-info kernel & ramdisk 2. My passwords.yaml has 1. ironic_database_password: 2. ironic_inspector_database_password: 3. ironic_inspector_keystone_password: 4. ironic_keystone_password: Any suggestions please. Thank you.

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2024.2/R-0)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Hello Stackers, After 26 weeks of effort across the community, we're finally at the release week for the 2024.2 release [1], codenamed 'Dalmatian'. I'll cue "Who Let the Dogs Out" for 2024-10-02 and toast the successful delivery of the 30th release of OpenStack with all of you. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions in making this yet another on-time release. Please tune into the OpenInfra Live episode at 1400 UTC on 2024-10-03 [2], where you'll hear from a few Project Team Leads about the new and exciting things included in this release. Over the past week, the OpenStack TC assisted the release team in tagging a few deliverables, and on its behalf, I'd like to commend the release team for pulling out all the stops to ensure yet another on-time release. It takes a village, as Jeremy Stanley (fungi) noted on IRC — the happy, buzzing Stackerton village. We also merged some governance changes in the meantime. Notably, we adopted a community goal to move all existing Ubuntu testing to the latest LTS [3], and we retired several charms repositories after their consolidation into the Sunbeam-charms project [4]. I am pleased to welcome Dmitriy Rabotyagov (noonedeadpunk) as the Vice Chair for the TC, and I thank the outgoing Vice Chair, Dr. Jens Harbott (frickler), for his contributions during the 2024.2 release cycle. Next week, as we step into the 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release cycle formally [5], we'll switch into PTG and planning mode and chart out the remaining release priorities early. === Weekly Meeting === The Technical Committee's weekly meeting was held over IRC on 2024-09-24 [6]. We began the meeting by welcoming new members and thanking outgoing ones. We appointed a TC Chair (me) and a Vice Chair (noonedeadpunk) for the 2025.1 release cycle. We then worked through several 2024.2 release issues. We were presented with a peculiar, but familiar problem involving release deliverables that couldn't proceed without help from project maintainers who were unavailable during the release crunch. The release team prepares release candidate patches a week before the RC1 deadline and encourages project maintainers to vote on them. They also submit changes to the respective repositories to verify the state of the CI system to prevent releasing broken code. However, when a project team doesn't respond, there's a risk to the coordinated release. We brainstormed strategies to deal with the current conundrum. Thanks to noonedeadpunk and the attentiveness of project maintainers in Zun and Barbican, we were able to fix broken CI jobs and tag release candidates for some projects. However, we couldn't determine the state of "kuryr-kubernetes" and "kuryr-tempest-plugin." These projects, flagged earlier as unmaintained, are expected to be retired soon, so there are no releases from these projects in the 2024.2 release stream. If you depend on these projects, please let us know. We are looking for maintainers who can commit to reviving the CI and furthering these projects. The next OpenStack TC meeting is on 2024-10-01 at 1800 UTC. This meeting will be held simultaneously via video and IRC. Please find the agenda and other meeting details in our meeting wiki [7]. I hope you'll be able to join us. Remember, you can always edit the agenda and propose new topics! === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Retire all single charm repositories | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/903490 - Select community-wide goal: migrate CI/CD jobs to Ubuntu Noble | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/929703 - Add 2025.1 TC chair and vice-chair | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/930376 - Add chair nomination folder for 2025.1 | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/929970 - Add GouthamR nomination for 2025.1 TC chair | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/929971 ==== Open for Review ==== - Appoint Tim Burke as PTL for Swift | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/928881 - Add Axel Vanzaghi as PTL for Mistral | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/927962 - Mark kuryr-kubernetes and kuryr-tempest-plugin as Inactive | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/929698 - Retire kuryr-kubernetes and kuryr-tempest-plugin | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/922507 === Upcoming Events === - 2024-10-02: OpenInfra Live - Introducing OpenStack Dalmatian 2024.2 [2] - 2024-10-08: OpenInfra Monthly Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.dev/ - 2024-10-15: OpenInfra Days NA, Indianapolis: https://ittraining.iu.edu/explore-topics/titles/oid-iu/ - 2024-10-21: OpenInfra Project Teams Gathering https://openinfra.dev/ptg/ === How to Contact the TC === You can reach the TC in several ways: 1.

Greetings Kayobians, I would like to propose Matt Crees as a core reviewer for Kayobe. With Mark Goddard stepping back from Kayobe maintenance duties, we have a slot to fill in the core team. In my opinion, Matt Crees is the strongest candidate for the position, having provided numerous reviews and contributions over the past few cycles. Please register any objections to this decision before the kolla meeting on 25th of September, otherwise I will proceed with making formal arrangements to get him added. Thanks Will Szumski will(a)stackhpc.com

[Openstack] [Keystone] [Shibboleth] Assistance with Configuring Multiple IdPs in DevStack with Shibboleth Integration
by Abubakur Sait 28 Sep '24

28 Sep '24

Hi all, I have installed DevStack (release 2023.2) on Ubuntu 22.04 and integrated Shibboleth (the federation solution) with it. Everything works fine for a single IdP. However, I am looking to expand the setup to support multiple IdPs. I have read the Keystone documentation, but it doesn’t seem to cover this specific case. In my current setup, I have DevStack and Shibboleth integrated for a single IdP. I have read the shib-sp documentation as well. It mentions the need for a Discovery Service (DS) if we intend to use multiple IdPs which will be handled by the shib-SP software. This is the issue I am facing right now. Please see the following comments to get my point. Here’s the scenario I have so far: 1. A user accesses Horizon (Service Provider -- SP) at: http://192.168.4.103/dashboard/auth/login/?next=/dashboard/. 2. A drop-down list allows the user to choose the authentication method. The user selects the SAML IdP method. 3. The user is redirected to the IdP’s page where they authenticate. 4. The user is redirected back to the SP and successfully accesses the system. 5. The issue I’m facing is how to configure multiple IdPs so that users can choose from them at step (2). I understand that we can add a list of IdPs in the ~/horizon/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py file to display in Horizon, but this doesn’t fully resolve the issue since the Shibboleth SP application itself doesn’t seem to handle multiple IdPs. Shibboleth SP typically expects a DS for multiple IdPs, but given that we already have a dropdown list in Horizon, do we still need the DS in this case? If not, how can we proceed with adding multiple IdPs in the system? Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help! Best regards, Bakur Sait

[octavia] Lose of some jobs by worker
by Payne Max 28 Sep '24

28 Sep '24

Hi, OpenStack community, I’ve faced a problem when some of our jobs can get lost by a worker, for example from the screenshot, SIGTERM was called in several seconds after receiving a job by a worker. [cid:image001.png@01DB1013.D648A630] Then there were no new log messages related to this job. Then our client complained that LB stucked in PENDING_UPDATE for several days and we started investigation. Our MySQL (persistent storage) is clean, but in our Redis, I can see several jobs without TTL and I think they are related to the «lost» jobs. [cid:image002.png@01DB1014.1DFF1BD0] Is it an ok situation? Can it be related to the https://github.com/openstack/octavia/blob/master/octavia/common/base_taskfl… Let’s discuss it!

[release] Release countdown for week R+0
by Thierry Carrez 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Development Focus ----------------- We will be releasing the coordinated OpenStack 2024.2 Dalmatian release next week, on October 2nd, 2024. Thanks to everyone involved in the Dalmatian cycle! We are now in pre-release freeze, so no new deliverable will be created until final release, unless a release-critical regression is spotted. Otherwise, teams attending the virtual PTG in a few weeks should start to plan what they will be discussing there, by creating and filling team etherpads. You can access the list of PTG etherpads at: https://ptg.opendev.org/etherpads.html General Information ------------------- On release day, the release team will produce final versions of deliverables following the cycle-with-rc release model, by re-tagging the commit used for the last RC. A patch doing just that will be proposed. PTLs and release liaisons should watch for that final release patch from the release team. While not required, we would appreciate having an ack from each team before we approve it on the 2nd, so that their approval is included in the metadata that goes onto the signed tag. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Final 2024.2 Dalmatian release: October 2nd, 2024 Project Teams Gathering: October 21-25, 2024 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

Potential Mentorship Opportunities (Jan - May 2025)
by Kendall Nelson 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hello Party People! It's very early, but I wanted to float the information ahead of time :) Coming up for the next semester (Spring semester in Northern Hemisphere; Jan to May) we have the opportunity to propose projects to students at North Dakota State University to work on. Students will be in the last couple semesters before graduation with a Bachelor's degree in CS. Good projects would be scoped to a small group of students 3-5 working together for around 4.5 months (maybe 4 with onboarding, midterms etc). Mentors on these projects do not have to work alone - often I have two or three community members working together to mentor the students (ask Manila, they are a good example). I will want to start collecting project proposals (and mentor volunteers) in December before everyone leaves for the holidays but that still gives a fair amount of time for questions if anyone has them. I already have one team interested (Hi, Swift!) but would love a couple others to get involved. Let me know what questions you have or if you are interested in mentoring! -Kendall Nelson (diablo_rojo)

[ironic] [security] Ironic officially vulnerability-managed
by Jay Faulkner 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hi all, Although for a long time now, in practice, we've been using the Vulnerability Management team (VMT) process to triage, embargo, and resolve Ironic security bugs, we've now done the legwork needed to be officially managed by the VMT. The following Ironic projects are now VMT-managed[0]: - ironic - ironic-inspector - ironic-python-agent - ironic-lib - networking-baremetal - networking-generic-switch - python-ironicclient - python-ironic-inspector-client - sushy As per VMT policy[1]. the launchpad bug trackers for these projects have been updated to only allow access by the VMT to initial private-security bug reports. If there are any questions, please just ask! Thanks, Jay Faulkner 0: https://opendev.org/openstack/ossa/commit/b68aaa0652ec83b1349dddcdc334b7572… 1: https://security.openstack.org/repos-overseen.html#requirements (number 4)

[ceilometer] What's the general status / recommendation for Telemetry in OpenStack
by Waines, Greg 26 Sep '24

26 Sep '24

Hey ... I am working in OpenStack StarlingX which supports a Kubernetes cluster and a containerized OpenStack cluster (via openstack-helm). Our OpenStack offering is fairly simple ... only running Nova, Cinder, Neutron, Keystone, Glance, Horizon and Heat ... @ Antelope. In a predecessor of StarlingX, maybe in the Queens(?) timeframe ... we had a Telemetry solution that consisted of: - Ceilometer (for basic data polling, notifications and collection) - Panko (for event DB) - Gnocchi (for time-series DB) - Aodh (for alarming based on metric thresholds, etc.) HOWEVER ... today (Caracal) ... - I think Gnocchi is still alive and well ... https://github.com/gnocchixyz/gnocchi * but maintained outside of OpenStack - I think OpenStack Panko was deprecated in ~ Wallaby ? * and don't think(?) it is maintained outside of OpenStack ? - The OpenStack Landscape at https://www.openstack.org/software/ * shows only Ceilometer and Aodh MY QUESTIONs : ----------------------- - so what are the current recommendations for OpenStack Telemetry ? - is it just Ceilometer and Aodh ? * Does Ceilometer provide DBs ? (like it used to a long time ago) - is Gnocchi (although maintained outside of OpenStack) still supported in the OpenStack environment as a DB option ? - what is used for event DB ? ... now that panko is gone ... Gnocchi ? Ceilometer ? - are there actually multiple options/solutions for OpenStack Telemetry ? e.g. * Ceilometer / Gnocchi / Aodh * Ceilometer / External Elastic Solution / Aodh * Others ? Greg.

Openstack deployment on a single node server
by Gyan Dev Mishra 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi, I am a newbie to OpenStack deployment, we are looking for a deployment strategy for OpenStack to test all our cloud-based apps to save on testing expenses. I tried it with microstack where I faced some issues related to Available Zones which was always empty. So, is it possible to use only one node to deploy and use complete OpenStack or do we need to follow some different strategy. I am having one server machine on which I want to deploy the complete cloud solutions. Kindly provide me with the necessary insights. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Retire sqlalchemy-migrate
by Thomas Goirand 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi, As much as I know, there's no active OpenStack project using sqlalchemy-migrate anymore. Can someone retire the project, or at least push some indication in the README.rst that the project is retired? When looking at: https://opendev.org/x/sqlalchemy-migrate nothing says so... Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[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)

Network MTU setting in ovn/ovs
by Łukasz Chrustek 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hi, I have a question about increasing MTU for tenant network. Now it set to 1442 by default on geneve baked tenant network. Is there any drawbacks or it is some kind of bad practice to increase this MTU to 1500 bytes or higher ? We had an issue with one migrated instance from older version of openstack (where was linuxbrigde configured), there mtu was set to 1500, so the settings for i.e. docker inside the vm was set respectively to the higher value. -- Best regards Lukasz Chrustek

[oslo.db][magnum] QueuePool hangs in Caracal
by Mohammed Naser 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Hi there! The community has identified a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/magnum/+bug/2067345) which makes Magnum unusable / entirely broken in Caracal. There is a proposed workaround here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/magnum/+bug/2067345/comments/35 The majority of the issue seems to be around when the changes to remove autocommit were done, I've attempted to switch to enginefacade to prevent these issues (same as Ironic) but with no avail: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/magnum/+/927446 There is also a greenthread stacktrace there which shows where/how it's hanging, would it be possible to have someone who might have a bit more insight to help point us in the right direction? I'm more than happy to take this on and keep pushing it forward but I'm not sure if I know where the fix can go at this point. Thanks, Mohammed

[release][zun][kuryr-libnetwork][kuryr-kubernetes] Immediate action required for 2024.2 (Dalmatian) release
by Dmitriy Rabotyagov 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Hi, As you might know, R-2 week where Release Candidates for all projects following cycle-with-rc cadence should be created has already passed. Nevertheless there are a couple of projects, which do have broken Zuul Jobs[1], which prevents them from being released (tagged with RC1 and create a stable/2024.2 branch). There is a hard deadline by the end of this week (September 27, 2024) to merge required fixes into projects and update corresponsive release patches [2][3][4] in order to be included into the Dalmatian release. Otherwise the Technical Committee will have to take action on the mentioned projects, which can include preventing them from being released and marking them as Inactive ones. So everyone interested in the future of these projects - please take a look at the gate health and help core teams out fixing outstanding issues. Core teams - please prioritise review of proposed patches or come up with fixes during this week.

[manila] Propose Gireesh Awasthi to manila core
by Carlos Silva 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Hello everyone, I would like to add Gireesh Awasthi to the OpenStack Manila core team. Gireesh started his OpenStack journey a couple of cycles ago, and caused great impact from the get go while working on some complex features that impacted all of the manila code base. He's also been consistently participative in the latest PTGs. With the knowledge acquired in the code base, he then started contributing more to reviews, and became a go-to person for providing feedback on the NetApp ONTAP driver changes, and/or third party driver changes. It is important to note that this is yet another step into maintaining a healthy community with people from different affiliations sharing the responsibility of maintaining an open source project. In case there are no objections, I will add him to the core team in 1 week from now. [1] https://bit.ly/manila-reviews-90-days Thank you! Regards, carloss
