Hi ! We've identified a few regressions in the latest Epoxy release of oslo libraries, and these are currently blocking a few projects such as octavia or watcher. We already published a new releases with the required fixes. Although we already passed the requirement freeze, I'd like to request a freeze exception to unblock the affected projects. I'm specifically talking about the following two requirement bumps. oslo.db https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/942829 fixes https://launchpad.net/bugs/2099908 oslo.service https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/942830 fixes https://launchpad.net/bugs/2099955 Please let me know if you have any question, and I appreciate your help ! -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit

[release][swift][horizon][ironic] Deliverables missing Epoxy releases
by Thierry Carrez 26 Feb '25

26 Feb '25

Hi everyone, Quick reminder that we'll need a release very soon for a number of deliverables following a cycle-with-intermediary release model but which have not done *any* release yet in the 2025.1 Epoxy cycle: swift horizon bifrost ironic-inspector ironic-prometheus-exporter ironic-python-agent-builder ironic-ui networking-baremetal networking-generic-switch Those should be released ASAP, and in all cases before March 14th, so that we have a release to include in the final 2025.1 Epoxy release. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[openstack-helm] Retire Senlin chart
by Vladimir Kozhukalov 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hi team, This is to suggest retiring the senlin chart. The project is retired now and there has been little interest in this chart recently. So I believe we can remove the chart painlessly. Opinions are welcome. -- Best regards, Kozhukalov Vladimir

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-5)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hello Stackers, We're a couple of days away from milestone-3 of the 2025.2 ("Epoxy") release cycle [1]. For OpenStack project teams with deliverables following the "cycle-with-rc" release model [2], 2025-02-27 marks a Feature Freeze [2]. Client software releases are also due on this date, and from next week, we'll be actively squashing bugs to tag and ship release candidates. Last week, we concluded the nomination period for project leaders for 40+ OpenStack project teams and for 5 seats on the Technical Committee. We have just enough or fewer nominees than there are positions. Since no polls are needed, Ian Y Choi (ianychoi) and Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq), our election officials, are working with the TC to conclude the process. The TC will also work with project teams to appoint leaders for projects where there were no PTL nominees during the nomination window. More details about this will be shared on this mailing list as soon as they are available. Also, in the past week, the TC made some governance changes regarding the Ironic project. Several project contributors stepped up to be liaisons and adopt the Distributed Project Leadership model for the upcoming release [3]. The team also deprecated ironic-lib [4], as its relevant code has moved into the Ironic service and Ironic Python Agent. === Weekly Meeting === The TC met on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel on 2025-02-18 [5]. Ghanshyam Mann (gmann) and Artem Goncharov (gtema) noted their collaboration with the OSLO project team to expand the core team of the openstackdocstheme and os-api-ref repositories. This expansion is expected to support work to create OpenAPI specifications for OpenStack API services. We discussed the kinds of contributions that qualify individuals as Active Contributors, making them eligible to vote or contest in OpenStack elections. This follows our recent inclusion of governance repositories in the list of repositories counted for contributions. We encouraged project teams to actively nominate additional contributors—those who support their teams through invaluable work such as code review, bug grooming, documentation, mentoring, managing trackers, events, and communication. This can be done by adding "extra-acs" to https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/projec… before the Extra-AC freeze. The freeze has passed for the 2025.1 release cycle; however, you can propose Extra-ACs for the upcoming cycle now. Besides being eligible as candidates and voters, Extra-ACs will also appear on the release contributor list. We also brought up patches proposing to tag "end-of-life" for "unmaintained" branches: Wallaby [6], Xena [7], and Yoga [8]. These patches will remain open for 30 days, allowing contributors who wish to maintain these branches to step up. If no objections arise, these patches will be merged, and the branches will be deleted. Finally, we analyzed recent CI usage statistics and found that some projects, such as openstack/tacker, had significantly high node usage (averaging 119 nodes per patch in the check queue), consuming approximately 25% of the total aggregate quota. We will summarize our findings in a separate post to this list. The next IRC meeting of the OpenStack TC will be held today, 2025-02-25, at 1800 UTC in the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the agenda in the meeting wiki [9]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Switch Ironic to Distributed Leadership | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941935 - Cleanup policy popup leads list | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941148 - Deprecate ironic-lib | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939278 ==== Open for Review ==== - Add TC/PTL results from 2025.2 election | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/942507 - Add Extra-ACs to the tech committee repos | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/942296 - Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-02-28: 2025.1 ("Epoxy") Feature Freeze and release milestone 3 [1] - 2025-03-06: SCALE 2025 + OpenInfra Days NA (https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x) - 2025-03-11: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-04-07: OpenInfra PTG Thank you very much for reading!

[nova]Intel RDT CAT Support Missing from OpenStack
by Junya Noguchi (Fujitsu) 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

To whom it may concern I have a question regarding the lack of Intel RDT CAT implementation in OpenStack We are planning to commit Resource Monitoring functionality to Openstack for ARM, and are exploring the implementation of Intel RDT on Openstack. We found the following blueprint for the Intel RDT CAT implementation in nova. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/cat-support However, the Intel RDT CAT feature is not currently implemented in OpenStack. Has the implementation of Intel RDT CAT functionality in Openstack been rejected? Or is it just a development delay? Best regards, Junya Noguchi.

Keystone Tokenless
by Ryan Belgrave 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hey All! I've been reading the documentation here https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/latest/admin/configure_tokenless_x509.h… and poking through the Keystone code to figure out how tokenless authentication works. However, It doesn't seem like tokenless auth can be used as a full replacement for usernames and passwords when using ephemeral users? I can manage to get a role assignment created that allows tokenless to work for domain and project scopes but it doesn't seem possible to set up tokenless for the system scope. Without system scope I can't list catalog services or get their endpoints. Re-reading through the documentation it says: This feature is designed to reduce the complexity of user token validation in Keystone auth_token middleware by eliminating the need for service user token for authentication and authorization. Which seems like tokenless should only be used for user token validation and nothing else. It doesn't look like this auth mechanism can be used in the same manner as others for service-to-service communication? I can't really tell if I am doing something wrong or my understanding of the documentation is correct and it should only be used for user token validation. If tokenless should only be used for user token validation are there any plans to support it normally as a full replacement of usernames and passwords? Thanks! - Ryan
