[horizon] Automatic refresh of page elements/content
by dbarrosf＠windriver.com 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hi everyone, I would like to query about implementing a feature: Automatic refresh of page elements/content on openstack dashboard (horizon). I'm a developer working on starlingx dashboard (gui) project, which is based on openstack dashboard. We noticed that all content on starlingx dashboard doesn't get updated if a change occurs. So, as a workaround, a full page reload is required. We have added a patch to customize horizon package and enable automatic refresh in some of the content. But this is not a definitive solution, since it doesn't solve auto refresh for all page elements/content: https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/upstream/+/941145 We also noticed errors on browser's console related to mutation events, although I'm not sure this is relevant for the discussion: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/2098785 Do you have any plans to add such a feature? Or should we submit a blueprint? Thank you for your time. Regards, Davi Frossard

As I researched there is no solution for backing up openstack virtual machines. What is the best way to organize BaaS on openstack environment? I have used snapshots and converted them to images, but this is not production solution. Thank you for your support

[octavia] Blocking a specific network for the VIP of LBs
by Thomas Goirand 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hi there! In our setup, we offer to our customers, on top of floating IPS, access to an OpenStack internal network that contains public IPs. The idea is that they can, using this network, spawn VMs with a public IP directly on the NIC of their VMs. The issue is, some customers also use this network for the VIP of their LBs. While this seems to work, actually, instead of reserving a single public IP address, it reserves 3 IPs. Not a big deal for us, as they are billed internally, though it's rather bad for our customers. On top of that, whenever one of the subnet of this network becomes full, it becomes impossible to failover amphoras spawned in this subnet. Each time one runs into ERROR, it's kind of a bad situation where we have no way to fix, except contacting the customer and ask them to fix their setup. So we advise our customers to spawn a port first, use that port for the LB, and associate a floating IP address to the original port. This is described in our doc here: https://docs.infomaniak.cloud/network/loadbalancer_usecase_simple_http/ However, as you may know, customers never read the docs. And therefore, we'd like to forbid the use of that shared OpenStack internal network for the VIP of LBs. But as much as possible, this isn't a feature of Octavia. Is it? I'd like to implement the feature. What's the best way to do so? Would a new "forbidden_networks" directive would do, and then have a check at the API level? Or is there a better way using the API policy? Also, wouldn't it be possible that Octavia just reuse the ports that it currently hold, rather than asking new ports for the failover? If so, any clue where the code that does that could be fixed? I'd love to have this fixed AND the forbid network feature too... Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[tc][election] mnasiadka TC candidacy for 2025.2
by Michał Nasiadka 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello, I'd like to announce my candidacy for the Technical Committee. This is would be my first TC term (I have never applied for a TC seat). My relations with OpenStack started around Liberty release as a user and Ocata as a Kolla developer. Since Yoga release I became PTL for Kolla (that also includes Kolla-Ansible and Kayobe). I'm also a core reviewer for the Magnum project and diskimage-builder. Throughout my commercial career I've been working with OpenStack clouds in service provider (including VMware and Microsoft hypervisors managed by OpenStack), telco and HPC environments - which give me a broad view of the different use cases for running a cloud. Due to my PTLship of a deployment project - I will probably be focused on operators' perspective and cloud managability aspects - which if possible I'd like to improve - and by that also improve the overall experience of using OpenStack. Thank you for considering my candidacy, Regards, Michal Nasiadka

Issues with installing Zun on Compute node
by Milan M 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

I was trying to install openstack 2024.2 zun on compute node. and following the page https://docs.openstack.org/zun/2024.2/install/compute-install.html for installation. I am facing the issue of docker "--cluster-store" support. I am using Docker 27.5 version. Reading the documentation online, i am confused. Some places it is, mentioned that it is fixed. and some places it suggest to uses docker 22. At few places in your mail you have mentioned to stop using kuryr and use CNI. And official documentation still says to use --cluster store. What is the current state and the correct solution. Please guide me.

Hi dear helmers, I would like to suggest a new member of the Openstack-Helm core team. Vasyl Saienko from Mirantis has been actively contributing to the project recently. He prepared lots of improvements for Mariadb, Memcached, Libvirt, Rabbitmq and other charts. He also made plenty of valuable code reviews (28 reviews for the last 90 days). Please share you opinion on this. -- Best regards, Kozhukalov Vladimir

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-6)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Hello Stackers, We're six weeks away from the coordinated 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release [1]. The next couple of weeks are chock-full of release deadlines. We're closing the nomination period for the OpenStack PTL+TC elections on 2025-02-19 at 23:45 UTC [2]. If you're looking to lead a project team or join the OpenStack TC, do nominate yourself at the earliest. Election officials will also be generating electoral rolls at this deadline. To ensure you are able to vote, please confirm that you've signed up for emails from the CIVS voting platform before that deadline: https://civs1.civs.us/cgi-bin/opt_in.pl In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee defined an Upstream Investment Opportunity for the year [3]. The community is actively looking for organizations to sponsor a Quality Assurance developer to augment the OpenStack QA team. Since the team has a far-reaching impact on the quality and maintainability of all OpenStack software, support would be most appreciated. The TC also defined the Tested Runtimes for the 2025.2 ("Flamingo") release cycle. This will be a non-SLURP release and we are expanding testing with Python 3.13 while simultaneously dropping support for Python 3.9 [4]. A number of other governance proposals remain under community review. Finally, the TC expressed support for the proposal to move the OpenInfra Foundation under the Linux Foundation. This conversation is ongoing, and several important concerns have been raised and answered [5]. === Weekly Meeting === The TC meeting last week was held over IRC, and it was well attended [6]. We followed up on several long-running tasks, including the maintenance of the "openstackdocstheme" and "os-api-ref" repositories. Both of these are widely used across OpenStack documentation; however, we need more code reviewer attention to get some critical maintenance patches in. We discussed fixes to the election roll generation scripts to expand the list of repositories used to collate contributors. We'll follow up on this before the electoral roll generation deadline [2]. Dr. Jens Harbott (frickler) discussed the effort to transition "unmaintained/wallaby" branches across OpenStack repositories to "end-of-life." He proposed the change this week [7], and we have until 2025-03-14 to make any modifications to the patch. The final topic was a strategic consideration regarding the OpenInfra Foundation potentially joining the Linux Foundation. Several important concerns were raised during the meeting. One key concern was the LF's recommendations to limit contributions from certain countries. These restrictions currently exist within the OpenInfra Foundation as well. By joining forces with LF, Jonathan Bryce (jbryce) mentioned that he was "hopeful we can have a bigger impact on getting these regulations to view open source properly." The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2025-02-18. It will be held via IRC on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel at 18:00 UTC. Please find the agenda in the meeting wiki [8]. I hope you'll be able to join us! === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Define 2025 upstream investment opportunities | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939507 - Define testing runtime for 2025.2 release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941141 - Propose Extra-ACs from I18n SIG (2025.1) | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941743 ==== Open for Review ==== - Deprecate ironic-lib | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939278 - Cleanup policy popup leads list | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941148 - Switch Ironic to Distributed Leadership | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941935 - Add Watcher project update liaison | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/940168 - Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-02-19: Nominations submission deadline for 2025.2 TC/PTL Elections: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 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!
