[Neutron] [FeatureRequest] Port AllowedIPs Subnet-Pool extension
by Justin Lamp 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hey there, I'd like to propose a feature to allow subnets to be added to Neutron ports and be allocated from a subnet-pool. We would have a couple of use cases for this. Please correct me if I am wrong, but right now we do not have a method to route a subnet to a VM without adding many fixed-ips from the subnet the VM is residing in. This is highly undesirable for us as our use case would be with Kubernetes. We'd like to be able to allocate a IPv6 subnet for every Kubernetes Node, so that every pod can get a fully routed v6 address without resorting to NAT. While searching the mailing list for IPv6 in general I found another person having a similar inquiry. In his case he wanted a subnet to use for his VPN-VM. This is also something we want to address and provide to our customers at some point. This is why I would like to propose that AllowedIP subnets can be created based on subnet pools, making it possible to route them externally. This will also make it possible for something like the OVN-BGP-Agent to expose them via BGP. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

[tc][election] TC election Non-Candidacy
by Sławek Kapłoński 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hi, It's been 3 years for me already to be part of the OpenStack Technical Committee and as my 3rd cadence is getting to the end now, I just want to let You all know that I am not going to candidate again. This was a pleasure and great experience for me to be part of the TC for such a long time and I am really grateful that I was elected to serve in that role. But now I think it is time to give this place back to someone new who will bring fresh ideas to the TC. I will still be around and happy to help if needed of course. -- Slawek Kaplonski Principal Software Engineer Red Hat

Reviews for IBM SVf Cinder Driver
by Harsh Ailani 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hello community and core reviewers, We are from the IBM Team to develop the IBM SVf Cinder Driver for our community and on-prem customers. Till 2022 we were contributing and participating actively in the community development and review processes but due to internal organisational changes we were unable to participate in the community. Also, our CI/CD pipeline was disrupted for over a year which caused the major delay in our contribution. However, now the team is back on track along with the CI/CD pipeline and we have some huge line items that we need to upstream so that all our OpenStack customers could use those features with IBM Storages. Currently we have the following patches active which need your reviews so that they can be merged and be useable for the customers: Volume-group feature support patches: 1. [IBM SVf driver] Adding support for temporary volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/925450 2. [IBM SVf Driver] Added support for volumegroup-snapshot for temporary volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/926844 3. [IBM SVf Driver] Added support for restorefromsnapshot CLI for volumegroups | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/916722 4. [IBM SVf Driver] Added support of clone operation for volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/938771 5. Doc: Documentation updates for ibm-svf-volumegroup feature. | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/929906 Our team is relatively new (except myself) and we are starting the process of reviewing other contributor’s patches as well. Requesting the core reviewers to please help use review these patches and get the merged in the community as we have more storage features in development pipeline which has dependencies on volume-group feature. Thanks and Regards, Harsh Ailani Openstack Developer - Flashsystem IBM

[freezer] Moving project bug tracker to launchpad
by Dmitriy Rabotyagov 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Hey there, In order to simplify and align with most OpenStack projects on bug tracker I aim to move Freezer from different Storyboard [1] projects back to unified Launchpad [2] tracker. However, historically the OpenStack Administrators [3] group was not added as Freezer project administrator/owner on Launchpad, which means that no current maintainer of the project has the necessary rights to manage the mentioned Launchpad project. I've added all current Launchpad admins for Freezer project to CC of this email, to either of you to add "openstack-admins" [3] to the Freezer Drivers [4] team, so that OpenStack Infra team could assist with further recovering/managing access to the Launchpad project. That will be very nice if some of you could spend couple of minutes on making this change and help us avoid cumbersome process of recovering access to the project Thanks in advance!

[openstack-ansible][rabbitmq] nova and cinder queue got deleted from rabbitmq after upgarding from victoria to wallaby
by Danish Khan 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Dear All, I have upgraded one of my cluster from Victoria to wallaby. All playbooks run successfully and the cluster is upgraded to wallaby. But I don't see any queue in rabbitmq "rabbitmqctl list_queues --vhost /cinder" and "rabbitmqctl list_queues --vhost /nova" returns empty results. I tried adding these queues manually and the command is running successfully as well but still queues are not getting created. #rabbitmqctl add_vhost /cinder #rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p /cinder cinder ".*" ".*" ".*" I have re-run all playbooks again but nothing is happening. And I am getting below error in galera which I guess I can ignore for now: error : Aborted connection 249 to db: 'cinder' user: 'cinder' host: 'infra1' (Got an error reading communication packets) Regards, Danish

VPNaaS
by Vincent Godin 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Hello, The VPNaaS provided with Openstack is a Site-to-Site VPN made to interconnect two tenants or an external gateway with a tenant network. I would like to know if there are plans to offer a VPNaaS more like a Remote VPN. This would allow Openstack users to administer their instances securely. A user could mount this VPN from a roaming device, be assigned a local IP address, and then administer the instances of his tenant. Regards Vincent

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-8)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Hello Stackers, We're 8 weeks away from the coordinated 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release date [1]. On Feb 5th, election officials will begin accepting nominations for Project Team Leads for 41 teams for the 2025.2 ("Flamingo") release cycle, alongside 5 seats on the OpenStack Technical Committee with a one-year term. Together, these individuals form the indispensable leadership of this community. We seek to ensure that our community is cohesive, inclusive, and a level playing field where all voices are heard and anyone can rise to leadership positions [2]. This is an opportunity that I'd encourage you to capitalize on. Please see the election website [3] for details on how to submit your candidacy. In the news this week, the OpenStack Technical Committee resolved to include artifacts of the Disaster Recovery service ("Freezer") in the upcoming 2025.1 release [4]. We also merged a change to create a new DevStack plugin for Prometheus under the QA team. This repository will be useful for working with the OpenStack Resource Optimization service ("Watcher") in development environments. The project team driving the Watcher project also asserted their distributed project leadership for the 2025.2 release cycle. Members of the OpenStack community also participated in FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels. Amy Marrich (spotz) and Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) from the OpenStack TC were in attendance. The release team ended and deleted the "unmaintained/victoria" branch on most OpenStack repositories this week. We have volunteers who have stepped up to maintain the branch in roughly 70 repositories for now [5]. === Weekly Meeting === The OpenStack TC meeting last week was brief [6]. We discussed governance changes highlighted below and nudged the change to begin closing old, unmaintained code branches [5]. We checked in on project teams that had adopted the "distributed project leadership" model in the current release cycle and encouraged teams to replace inactive liaisons or revert to the PTL model for the next release cycle. Some project team meetings have yet to resume since the end-of-year holidays, and getting feedback from each liaison has been a challenge.

Hi, We are looking to upgrade Swift from Ussuri. Is it necessary to pass through Victoria, Wallaby, Xena ... or can we directly go to a later version (say) Zed? regards Mark

[watcher] core team expansion
by Sean Mooney 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Hi everyone, As you may be aware a number of us from Redhat have been trying to revitalize the Watcher project. To enable that one of the changes that we previously discussed on the mailing list and ptg was the expansion of the core team. https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/r.79644f8f3cd04686c4f45c10aa35d8ac#L46 https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack… In November the initial phase of that proposal was completed and I took an action to follow up in Q1 to see what steps are needed to rebuild a healthy core team. based on the activity of the last 90 days and the progress of work I think it is time to expand the core teams once again to enable effective maintenance and development of watcher https://openstack.biterg.io/app/dashboards#/view/95487340-6762-11e9-a198-67…:'Gerrit%20Approvals%20panel%20by%20Bitergia',filters:!(('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:Bots,disabled:!f,index:gerrit,key:author_bot,negate:!t,params:(query:!t),type:phrase),query:(match:(author_bot:(query:!t,type:phrase)))),('$state':(store:appState),meta:(alias:!n,disabled:!f,index:gerrit,key:project,negate:!f,params:(query:watcher),type:phrase),query:(match_phrase:(project:watcher)))),fullScreenMode:!f,options:(darkTheme:!f,hidePanelTitles:!f,useMargins:!t),query:(language:lucene,query:''),timeRestore:!f,title:'Gerrit%20Approvals',viewMode:view) tiny url version of ^ https://tinyurl.com/439wzbdk https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=watcher-group the current core teams are as follows * watcher-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/77cd139bd57514e98e5e694a82f7e261b47… * watcher-dashboard-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/bcc8588732437ceea3533249313e6e96148… * watcher-specs-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/747af616eb8748aee5b17d9493f9ebbc49e… * watcher-tempest-core https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/09a91d8e24af9ce44b80062c4851a1d2fa3… starting in order watcher-core: https://tinyurl.com/2p8sr7u4 https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=opendev.org/openstack/watcher - add Marios Andreou - add Douglas Viroel Marios and Doug both have past experience as core reviews in other OpenStack projects (triple-o and Manilla), over the last 90 days, they have engaged in reviews of bug fixes and the development of the new Prometheus data source. watcher-dashboard-core: https://tinyurl.com/4259h8nz https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=opendev.org/openstack/watcher-dashboard - add Marios Andreou - add Douglas Viroel as with Watcher itself Doug and Marios have spent time looking at the open review for the watcher-dashboard. watcher-spec-core: is tricky as we have effective only had one spec this cycle that was written by Marios with some minor patches for ci. As watcher core is a member of watcher-spec-core, Marios and Doug will inherit review rights on the specs repo. At this time I do not see a need to make any other changes to the group membership. watcher-tempest-core: https://tinyurl.com/4nbctef8 https://www.stackalytics.io/?module=opendev.org/openstack/watcher-tempest-p… - add Chandan Kumar - add Douglas Viroel - remove Martin Kopec As many of you may know Martin has taken up a new role in Redhat outside of OpenStack and will no longer be working directly on OpenStack. Over the last 90 days, Martin and Gmann have modernized the tempest plugin significantly paying down much of the tech debt. I want to thank them for the efforts they put in to help revive Watcher this cycle and if they return to the OpenStack community in the future I will gladly welcome them back. In their stead, I am proposing adding Chandan and Doug to augment the existing core group. As agreed in the Watcher team meeting earlier today we will review this mail thread in the next Watcher IRC meeting next week. I would like to invite others to provide feedback on this proposal over the next week. In the next PTG, I will also raise the composition of the core teams for discussion. It is my hope that with these additions we will have at least 3 active reviews on all deliverables of the watcher project mitigating the current bus factor and accelerating development. Regards Sean.

RDO - CentOS Stream version poll - request for volunteers
by Amy Marrich 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

The results of the poll showed an interest in having both Stream 9 and 10 versions for the Epoxy release. Due to limited resources, we are looking for volunteers in the community who would be interested in learning to build the RPMs and help maintain them. Please reach out if you are interested in participating in this effort. Amy (spotz)

[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

[neutron] neutron-core/networking-ovn-core consolidation
by Brian Haley 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Hello Neutrinos: I noticed the other day we still have the networking-ovn-core group [0] included in the neutron-core group [1], a left-over from when we merged the OVN code into the Neutron repo in Ussuri. Most people in the networking-ovn-core group no longer contribute to Neutron, except for one - Terry Wilson (otherwiseguy). In order to cleanup a little I'm going to consolidate things and add Terry as a member of the neutron-core group, and remove the import. Since he has basically been operating as a Neutron core reviewer already for years, I don't think we need to vote on this. So welcome officially Terry! -Brian, Neutron PTL [0] https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/ecdeda6cb5657af51f20b282cd0525cb7e6… [1] https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/38
