[skyline] possible bug in OIDC usage with skyline
by Taavi Ansper 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

Hi We are testing kolla-ansible 2025.2 and we have found a possible bug in skyline. When using OIDC and trying to log in we get an error that looks like this: { "detail": [ { "type": "string_pattern_mismatch", "loc": [ "header", "X-Openstack-Request-Id" ], "msg": "String should match pattern '^req-\\w{8}(-\\w{4}){3}-\\w{12}'", "input": "", "ctx": { "pattern": "^req-\\w{8}(-\\w{4}){3}-\\w{12}" } } ] } Any help or guidance is appreciated :) -- ---- Taavi Ansper taavi.ansper(a)cyber.ee

#eventlet-removal Thank you for 2025
by Herve Beraud 18 Dec '25

18 Dec '25

Two years ago, we collectively acknowledged that we were facing a demanding and somewhat paradoxical challenge: engaging a significant amount of time and resources to move away from a problematic technology, eventlet, without the promise of immediate functional gains. At that time, this effort could easily have been perceived as a necessary but uncomfortable burden — work that does not ship new features, does not directly address new user requests, and yet requires deep focus, coordination, and perseverance. We deliberately chose not to ignore the problem, not to postpone it, and not to settle for half-measures. Today, as we are reaching the end of 2025, we can clearly state that this choice was the right one. This year has been particularly intense, productive, and revealing of what a committed open source community can achieve when it aligns behind a long-term objective. The migration effort has reached a decisive milestone: more than 61% of the impacted OpenStack deliverables have now shown significant progress. Twenty deliverables are fully migrated, while forty others are actively undergoing migration. More than 424 Gerrit patches proposed this year alone directly contribute to this collective effort. Beyond the numbers, 2025 has delivered concrete, structural results. Several major projects — including Ironic, Heat, Barbican, Mistral, and others — are now fully migrated. Eventlet itself has evolved, gaining support for recent Python versions (3.12, 3.13, 3.14), ensuring compatibility with modern OpenStack runtimes during the transition phase. Oslo.service introduced a new threading backend, offering a fully threading-based execution model. Cotyledon is actively progressing toward supporting new spawning methods. Neutron is now just one step away from completing its migration, Nova can run specific services in threading mode, and teams such as Cinder, Designate, Watcher, Cyborg, and many others have shown sustained and visible momentum. What we are witnessing is more than a migration. It is a collective act of responsibility. Just like the Python 2 to Python 3 transition, this effort is about securing the future, reducing systemic risk, simplifying maintenance, and restoring long-term innovation capacity. It is about choosing durability over comfort, clarity over accumulation, and sustainability over short-term convenience. The foundations we are laying today are already making OpenStack more robust, more predictable, and better prepared for what comes next. As we close this year, I want to express my sincere respect and gratitude to everyone involved. Maintainers, contributors, reviewers, operators, companies — your engagement, patience, and persistence have made this progress possible. The level of coordination and trust demonstrated throughout 2025 is a strong signal, not only for our community, but for the entire industry that relies on OpenStack. On behalf of this community initiative, thank you for your commitment throughout this year. You have proven, once again, that necessary work — even when it does not immediately shine — is often the work that matters the most. I wish you all restful holidays and precious time with your loved ones. -- Hervé Beraud Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/

[ironic] Retirement of VirtualPDU
by Jay Faulkner 16 Dec '25

16 Dec '25

Hi all, As it's clear the SNMP code in Ironic will be removed next cycle, and CI has been removed as well, we also will be needing to retire VirtualPDU as well -- either this cycle or next. VirtualPDU was never shipped for production use and only mapped SNMP calls into libvirt power actions for devstack. With these jobs removed, it no longer serves a purpose. Please speak up now if you oppose this retirement. Thanks! -- Jay Faulkner Open Source Developer G-Research OSS

[stable][unmaintained] Move old Unmaintained branches to EOL
by Elõd Illés 15 Dec '25

15 Dec '25

Dear OpenStack Community, A bit more than two years ago the Unmaintained state was formalized [1] to signal towards the community that branches beyond the official maintained phase are not officially supported by the project teams themselves, rather by volunteers with interests to keep these branches open for co-operation and bug fix backports. This requires CI maintenance time to time, as CI jobs, infrastructure, packaging and build tools might also change under these legacy unmaintained branches. My employer, Ericsson, chose to support this process for further co- operation on these legacy branches and we stepped up as maintainer for unmaintained branches back till unmaintained/victoria as a starter, as long as it is feasible. Unfortunately, in the past months the point is reached where multiple gate jobs got broken, CI infrastructure elements (old ubuntu versions, old python versions) went to End of Life, too, and keeping meaningful testing [2] functional, is harder and harder on the oldest unmaintained/* branches [3]. Given these circumstances, I'm officially initiating to move old unmaintained branches to End of Life, starting with Victoria, and up till Yoga. I'll prepare the transition patches next week. Thanks to all, who helped with these old branches for this long. Sincerely, Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release / #openstack-stable / #openstack-unmaintained [1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20230724-unmaintained-branc… [2] there were arguments about making it possible to merge patches without tempest or even without any tests, but that is something that we should avoid in my opinion as we cannot be sure that we don't introduce regressions if there were no proper testing and no one would want to consume untested code. [3] ubuntu-bionic node type is removed, py36 based jobs disappeared, tempest jobs started to fail with some test cases and with that, grenade jobs as well, etc.

[freezer] Poll for regular IRC meeting time
by Dmitriy Rabotyagov 15 Dec '25

15 Dec '25

Hi everyone! We have decided to re-initiate a regular IRC meeting for the Freezer project to sync on development and let interested parties to step in and be in the loop of project development. In order to select a suitable time for such meeting for everyone currently interested, I have created a poll, you pay find via the link [1] The poll is open until Monday, December 15. If you are interested in the project and want to take part in meetings - feel free to vote on the timing! I have included as many time periods as possible to ensure we can find a suitable one for everyone. Also please ignore specific dates in the poll - we intend to make a meeting on a weekly basis, so only days of the week do matter there. [1] https://beta.framadate.org/polls/365ef8fa4574a9190ec0

[docs] Rate limiting (?) on docs.openstack.org causing link checks to break
by Florian Haas 15 Dec '25

15 Dec '25

Hello everyone, here's something of a meta-issue that's been bothering me for a while, and I wonder if we can find a solution or a workaround. Our public documentation at docs.cleura.cloud naturally has cross-references to docs.openstack.org. To make sure that our documentation remains current, the CI/CD build for our docs includes an external link checker.[1] That way, if external documentation paths change or go away, we get notified of a build failure, and this enables us to fix or update our docs. Unfortunately, this results in random and intermittent errors like this: Real URL https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/ Check time 2.759 seconds Size 251B Result Error: ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response')) The Keystone docs URL is just an example; this sort of error happens all across the docs. Of the scores of docs.openstack.org links we check, it's usually just one that breaks, but it's always a different one. Kicking the pipeline and rerunning the same link check often "fixes" things, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it breaks with a different link. I surmise that this is caused by a rate limit applicable on docs.openstack.org. I would understand why such a rate limit exists, so I am not suggesting to remove it, but right now I'm at my wit's end and I'm close to adding docs.openstack.org to the ignore regex in our linkchecker configuration. But I really don't *want* to do that because I'd quite prefer for our docs to contain good cross-references, and so I'm interested in keeping docs.o.o included in the link liveness check. I'm guessing others have run into this issue. If anyone has solved it in a clever way, I'd be grateful for suggestions. Thanks! Cheers, Florian [1] https://linkchecker.github.io/linkchecker/

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2026.1/R-15)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 14 Dec '25

14 Dec '25

Hello Stackers, We're fifteen weeks away from the coordinated release of OpenStack 2026.1 "Gazpacho" [1]. We're almost at the end of the calendar year, and many community members are taking a well-deserved break during this holiday season observed around the world. The OpenStack Technical Committee did not merge any significant changes in the past week. There's been some more progress on the cleanup effort we embarked on concerning the Monasca project and the governance-sigs repository. Ian Y Choi (ianychoi) and Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) have graciously agreed to continue as OpenStack's election officials. They're assisted by Tony Breeds (tonyb) who will be the TC liaison. They've begun working on the combined PTL and TC elections that will be conducted in February. We'll share more details about this as they are finalized. === Weekly Meeting === The last meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee occurred on December 9th, 2025, over the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC [2]. At the meeting, we resolved pending some governance-website patches and established a plan to update the Technical Vision document [3] through brainstorming on an Etherpad. We also discussed the idea of requesting a deadline extension to propose user survey modifications [4]. The team felt that extending the deadline beyond M-2 will allow for input from project teams. We acknowledged the plan to delete unmaintained branches through Yoga [5], with a consensus leaning toward also dropping Zed. Clarification was sought from the "openstack-unmaintained-core" team regarding the "opt-in" maintenance model for newer branches. We noted that Ceph Tentacle is now being tested with DevStack. Additionally, Michal Nasiadka (mnasiadka) is exploring a fix to get an x86-v3 version of OVS to be installed on AlmaLinux while we pursue a packaging fix with AlmaLinux maintainers. This is a must-have because AlmaLinux provides us a good chance of testing OpenStack with an RPM-based distro across most of our cloud providers that have older hardware. The next meeting of the TC will be on Tuesday, December 16th, 2025, at 0800 UTC. Please note this new APAC-friendly time slot. We're gathering the community's interest in a once-monthly meeting in this time slot. Please participate if you're able to. You can find the meeting's agenda and other details on its wiki page [6]. The TC decided to cancel the meetings previously scheduled for December 23rd, 2025, and December 30th, in observance of the holidays. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open For Review ==== - Show SIG repositories on the SIGs page | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/967425 - Alter public cloud SIG chair | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/969371 - Move FIPS Compliance goal back to proposed | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/969145 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-12-16: Twelve Clouds of Christmas: https://www.meetup.com/openinfra-austin/events/312269596 - 2026-01-08: 2026.1 Milestone 2 - 2026-01-27: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ Thank you very much for reading!

migrate ovs to ovn
by Eduardo Morais 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

Hey, good afternoon. My name is Eduardo and I’m new to OpenStack. At my job I have a task to migrate OVS to OVN, and I was able to do that, but I have a small question about a problem I'm facing after restarting my environment. When I restart my testing VM and try again, after the migration I get an error message in the Neutron logs about a duplicate entry. The message says that OVN is trying to insert information into the providerresourceassociations table, but the table already has that information and OpenStack works with it. However, after the restart, OpenStack crashes. To make it work again, I have to manually delete the existing entry so the new one can be inserted, and after doing that the problem does not happen anymore, send now for the correct mail, i think.

[neutron] Neutron L3 HA Issue: Packet Loss and Route Flapping After Restarting openvswitch-vswitchd on Active Controller
by soheil.bakan＠gmail.com 10 Dec '25

10 Dec '25

Hi OpenStack Community, I am experiencing an issue in a 3-controller HA OpenStack environment related to Neutron L3 HA and Open vSwitch. I would appreciate your guidance or any insights. ### Environment - OpenStack version: 2025.1 - 3 controller nodes with HA setup (kolla-ansible) - Neutron L3 HA enabed - OVS + Keepalived (VRRP) - The router’s VRRP master role is currently on one controller - All controllers share the same external/provider network setup ### Issue Description When I restart the `openvswitch-vswitchd` service on the controller node that currently holds the VRRP Master for an HA router: The following problems occur: 1. ICMP traffic (ping) drops for several minutes. 2. The router’s default route begins to bounce between the other two or three controllers. 3. The VRRP master does not stabilize quickly; it keeps flipping between the remaining controllers. 4. As a result, I see packet loss and routing instability for several seconds. ### What I expect Ideally, when `openvswitch-vswitchd` restarts on the master controller: - VRRP should quickly fail over to one of the standby controllers routers - The default route should converge and remain stable - There should be no (or minimal) packet loss I should also say what when i restart neutron_l3_agent or in some cases openvswitch_db issue goes away ### Additional Information If needed, I can share: - Logs from OVS, neutron-l3-agent Thanks in advance for your support. Please let me know if more information is needed. best regards, soheil
