[all][dev][ops][tc] Bridging the gap between community and contributing orgs
by Jeremy Stanley 08 Dec '25

08 Dec '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.

Hello Koller. I want to ask if we can overwrite config for a group of nodes. For example, compute01 >> compute10 will have the same nova configuration compute11 >> compute20 will have the same nova configuration. It will be very nice if we support this way. Thank you. Regards Nguyen Huu Khoi

[i18n][infra][horizon] Zanata translation job failures after Python 3.8 deprecation
by Ian Y. Choi 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Hi all, During last week's PTG, the I18n SIG identified Zanata translation job failures for Horizon (and likely related plugins). The root cause appears to be Python 3.8 deprecation on Horizon [1]. Failed jobs have been observed on Zuul [2], and translation proposals were made on Gerrit [3]. Since translation sync on Horizon stable branches is functioning correctly, the error message seems to be related to Python 3.8 deprecation: ERROR: Cannot install -r doc/requirements.txt (line 3) due to conflicting package version dependencies. To address this, I'd like to raise two points: 1/ To resolve the issue, would you support updating translation sync jobs with Bionic-based Zuul jobs by either upgrading to Jammy or modifying the Bionic image to support Python >3.8? 2/ At least me from I18n SIG acknowledges that recognizing these translation job errors was delayed. Moving forward, would it be beneficial to implement periodic (e.g., monthly) reporting on translation job successes and failures? Thank you, /Ian [1] https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/horizon/2024.2.html#upgrade-notes [2] https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=propose-translation-up… [3] https://review.opendev.org/q/owner:proposal-bot+project:openstack/horizon+b…

[ops][neutron] Neutron-db-manage upgrade from Antelope to Bobcat fails with "foreign key constraint 'porthints_ibfk_1' are incompatible" error
by federica fanzago 20 May '25

20 May '25

Dear all, we are running an OpenStack deployment Yoga on AlmaLinux 9.5 and we are attempting the upgrade Openstack up to Caracal release, one release at time (Zed--Antelope--Bobcat--Caracal) The procedure we are following is to shut down all openstack services, to remove the "old" openstack release and to install the new one, upgrading all service databases. This procedure works well for Zed and Antelope, but during the installation of the Bobcat release, the Neutron database upgrade fails when creating the new "porthints" table. The command we are using is su -s /bin/sh -c "neutron-db-manage --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini upgrade head" neutron and the error message we receive is ...

[manila] Removal of the Standalone CephFS NFS protocol helper in Epoxy
by Ashley Rodriguez 02 May '25

02 May '25

Hi zorillas! As per subject line, we will be deprecating the standalone CephFS NFS protocol helper in this cycle. This is following our deprecation warning we put out in 2024.1 / Caracal [1] [2]. We've supported using a clustered Ceph NFS service since the Zed release. We've also added upgrade helpers to migrate from a standalone NFS-Ganesha service to the ceph-orch-deployed clustered NFS service; this code was backported to stable/2023.1 (Antelope). Although the upgrade path is disruptive, there is a UX improvement in Manila to ease this migration through surfacing “preferred” export paths. Moving forward, deployments must have “cephfs_nfs_cluster_id” in your configuration, otherwise the driver will fail to start. Manila will not make any export changes to NFS-Ganesha, so upgrading manila without an NFS cluster will mean that only the control plane is not going to work; but, data plane will remain unaffected. To assist migration, admins can also configure "cephfs_ganesha_export_ips" (or alternatively, "cephfs_ganesha_server_ip") alongside "cephfs_nfs_cluster_id". Setting these options will allow the CephFS driver to report additional export paths. These additional export paths will have the "preferred" metadata key set to False. Best, Manila team [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/912648 [2] https://docs.openstack.org/manila/2024.2/configuration/shared-file-systems/…

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

GPU PCI passthrough woes.
by Andy Speagle 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Hey Folks, I could use a little assistance getting GPU passthrough working. I had this working already for one flavor of nvidia gpu... and I've added some hosts with a much newer gpu... I've updated the pci_alias and pci_passthrough variables and those seem to be getting set properly in nova.conf passthrough_whitelist = [{"vendor_id":"10de", "product_id":"1b06"},{"vendor_id":"10de", "product_id":"26b9"}] alias = {"name": "gpu", "product_id": "1b06", "vendor_id": "10de"} alias = {"name": "gpu-l40s", "product_id": "26b9", "vendor_id": "10de"} I believe I have all of the iommu stuff configured and have the pci- stub module entries... dmesg output shows that the GPUs are being claimed by the stub module. $ openstack flavor show t1.small_gpu_l40s +----------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +----------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | OS-FLV-DISABLED:disabled | False | | OS-FLV-EXT-DATA:ephemeral | 0 | | access_project_ids | None | | description | None | | disk | 0 | | id | af70c94e-0026-4a39-bc1e-dfb93b286a54 | | name | t1.small_gpu_l40s | | os-flavor-access:is_public | True | | properties | pci_passthrough:alias='gpu-l40s:1' | | ram | 2048 | | rxtx_factor | 1.0 | | swap | 0 | | vcpus | 1 | +----------------------------+--------------------------------------+ Yet...

[openstack-helm] Merge openstack-helm and openstack-helm-infra git repos
by Vladimir Kozhukalov 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Hi dear Openstack-Helmers, I would like to suggest merging the two project git repos: https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm-infra.git https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm.git At some point it seemed reasonable to have separate git repos for openstack and infrastructure charts. But now it looks like we are experiencing more cons than pros. When working on some features we are forced to prepare sets of interdependent patches. Some code can be deduplicated. Also when we publish charts we append two commit hashes as package metadata. Also we can reduce the number of test jobs if we have all chats in one repo. Other people also proposed this earlier. So if there are no objections let's make it done. I understand this is going to affect many of our users. Please express your opinions so we don't break any downstream. If we all agree about this, then I would say we can do this in the mid of March/2025 before 2025.2 PTG. The procedure is going to be smth. like 1. Freeze the infra repo and prepare retirement PSs for it 2. Merge openstack-helm-infra repo into openstack-helm ``` git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm.git cd openstack-helm git remote add infra https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm-infra.git git fetch infra git checkout -b infra infra/master git checkout master git merge --allow-unrelated-histories infra # resolve not so many conflicts git review ``` 3. Accept merger PS 4. Update documentation 5. Accept infra retirement PSs (openstack-helm-infra and project-config) -- Best regards, Kozhukalov Vladimir

[mistral][heat][watcher][aodh] croniter being abandoned
by Thierry Carrez 22 Mar '25

22 Mar '25

Hi everyone, It was brought to my attention that the croniter maintainer has decided to abandon his project, due to not wanting to deal with his perceived exposure to the EU Cyber-Resilience act (CRA). https://pypi.org/project/croniter/#disclaimer The maintainer indicates that you should no longer use it and it may be "unpublished" any time after March 15, 2025. Croniter is being used in at least Mistral, Heat, Watcher, and Aodh as a dependency. While this is clearly an overreaction (the CRA only applies to "economic operators" putting "products with digital elements" on the market "in the course of a commercial activity"), we should probably prepare to migrate away from this dependency, or maintain a fork of it. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[all][tc][ptl][qa] Migrating upstream CI/CD jobs to Ubuntu Noble (24.04)
by Ghanshyam Mann 14 Mar '25

14 Mar '25

Hello Everyone, As per the 2025.2 cycle testing runtime, we need to run upstream CI/CD jobs on Ubuntu Noble (24.04) [1]. For better tracking and speeding up this work, it is the community-wide goal for this cycle[2]. This is the etherpad which has the migration plan and will be used for the tracking: - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/migrate-to-noble I have prepared the change(WIP) for base jobs migration on Noble (openstack tox jobs, devstack, and tempest) which will migrate most of the projects jobs. Tempest change[3] include dependency on openstack tox, devstack base jobs changes so testing project gate using the the tempest change will test the complete set. Refer to the etherpad for the complete migration plan/steps. * Deadline: Nov 29th 2024 (R18) is the deadline to test/fix the projects jobs and to merge the base jobs running on Noble (openstck tox, devstack, and tempest).

[kolla] [nova] API flags ignored in Wallaby
by Albert Braden 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

After rebuilding our Train clusters on Wallaby we are seeing some API issues. It appears that flags that work in Train are still documented in Wallaby, but are ignored. Do we have something setup wrong, or are we encountering bugs? The first thing is the “locked” list: Train: openstack server list --all-projects --locked --os-compute-api-version 2.73 <empty list because nothing is locked> openstack server list --all-projects --unlocked --os-compute-api-version 2.73 <list of every VM in the cluster> Wallaby (locked flag is ignored): openstack server list --all-projects --locked --os-compute-api-version 2.73 <list of every VM in the cluster> openstack server list --all-projects --unlocked --os-compute-api-version 2.73 <list of every VM in the cluster> The second problem is the hypervisor list. We can’t get “long” output in Wallaby: Train: openstack hypervisor list --long | ID | Hypervisor Hostname | Hypervisor Type | Host IP | State | vCPUs Used | vCPUs | Memory MB Used | Memory MB | Wallaby (long flag is ignored): openstack hypervisor list --long | ID | Hypervisor Hostname | Hypervisor Type | Host IP | State |

Confidential VM and TDX support in upstream Openstack
by Ildiko Vancsa 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Hi, I'm reaching out about a topic that came up in the Kata Containers / Confidential Containers communities related to a feature in Kata that is called remote hypervisor and also referred to as peer pods. Kata provides an API that allows users to implement a function to run Kata Containers pods in a remote location, which can include a different host machine or cloud environment. The Cloud API Adaptor in the Confidential Containers project is an implementation of the Kata remote hypervisor interface: https://github.com/confidential-containers/cloud-api-adaptor It recently came up to add support for OpenStack to be a cloud option to run Kata remote VMs in. In order to implement that, OpenStack would need to support the creation of Confidential VMs (CVM) along with things like TDX. I looked around and found 3rd-party implementation to add TDX support to Nova, but the repo has been archived: https://github.com/intel/secured-cloud-management-stack/blob/main/scm3.0/no… Does anyone know if the CVM support along with supporting Intel TDX or related technologies have been added to OpenStack already? Or if there's anyone in the community planning for adding these in the future? Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

Assistance Required: OpenStack Helm Deployment (Version 2023.1) Compatibility Issues
by Thamanna Farhath 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Hello OpenStack Community, I hope you are doing well. I am currently deploying OpenStack on top of a Kubernetes cluster using OpenStack Helm and aiming to install the 2023.1 (Antelope) version. However, I am facing difficulties in installing this specific version via Helm charts. Despite my attempts, I have not been able to successfully deploy the required OpenStack services for this release. Additionally, I am ensuring that the dependent services, such as RabbitMQ, align with the compatibility requirements of OpenStack 2023.1. As per the OpenStack documentation, RabbitMQ 3.11 is the recommended version, but I encountered issues while deploying it. Instead, I found that RabbitMQ 3.12 works without any issues. I would like to know: Is there a way to install OpenStack 2023.1 properly using Helm charts, or should I consider using a newer OpenStack version? Will using RabbitMQ 3.12 instead of 3.11 cause any potential issues with OpenStack services, or is it safe to proceed with this version? Are there any known workarounds or recommendations for deploying OpenStack 2023.1 using Helm? I would appreciate any guidance, best practices, or documentation references that could help resolve these challenges. Looking forward to your valuable insights.

[release] Release countdown for week R-4, Mar 03 - 07
by Elõd Illés 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Development Focus ----------------- We just passed feature freeze! Until release branches are cut, you should stop accepting featureful changes to deliverables following the cycle-with-rc release model, or to libraries. Exceptions should be discussed on separate threads on the mailing-list, and feature freeze exceptions approved by the team's PTL. Focus should be on finding and fixing release-critical bugs, so that release candidates and final versions of the 2025.1 Epoxy deliverables can be proposed, well ahead of the final 2025.1 Epoxy release date. General Information ------------------- We are still finishing up processing a few release requests, but the 2025.1 Epoxy release requirements are now frozen. If new library releases are needed to fix release-critical bugs in 2025.1 Epoxy, you must request a Requirements Freeze Exception (RFE) from the requirements team before we can do a new release to avoid having something released in 2025.1 Epoxy that is not actually usable. This is done by posting to the openstack-discuss mailing list with a subject line similar to: [$PROJECT][requirements] RFE requested for $PROJECT_LIB Include justification/reasoning for why a RFE is needed for this lib. If/when the requirements team OKs the post-freeze update, we can then process a new release. A soft String freeze is now in effect, in order to let the I18N team do the translation work in good conditions. In Horizon and the various dashboard plugins, you should stop accepting changes that modify user-visible strings. Exceptions should be discussed on the mailing-list. By March 27th, 2025 this will become a hard string freeze, with no changes in user-visible strings allowed. Actions ------- stable/2025.1 branches should be created soon for all not-already-branched libraries. You should expect 2-3 changes to be proposed for each: a .gitreview update, a reno update (skipped for projects not using reno), and a tox.ini constraints URL update. Please review those in priority so that the branch can be functional ASAP. The Prelude section of reno release notes is rendered as the top level overview for the release. Any important overall messaging for 2025.1 Epoxy changes should be added there to make sure the consumers of your release notes see them. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- RC1 deadline: March 14th, 2025 (R-3 week) Final RC deadline: March 28th, 2025 (R-1 week) Final 2025.1 Epoxy release: April 2nd, 2025 Project Teams Gathering (virtual): April 7th-11th, 2025 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release

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. Vaibhav

Dear All, Is there a way we can delete a volume who has a snapshot available? I have created a volume from snapshot and now we have a full chain of snapshots and volumes that we can't delete. But I need only the last volume to be available. If not then what is the best use case for snapshot? or Should I assume that if I create a snapshot and then create a volume from that snapshot then I need to keep the old volume and snapshot always.

[all] CI resources usage optimization
by Sławek Kapłoński 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Hi, In of of the recent weekly TC meetings we have discussed usage of our CI resources by projects. After that discussion I did small script [1] to get some more data about it. I checked separately how much nodes and "nodehours" are projects using in the check and gate queue to validate patches. Full results for the time rage 01.01.2025 to 13.02.2025 are in [2] for the check queue and in [3] for the gate queue. 1 "nodehour" means that 1 CI node was busy for 1 hour running job. This email is of course not sent just to tell team to cut their testing coverage but if you can take a closer look at your project's CI jobs configuration, maybe there is some way to improve it easily. For example if you have jobs running as non-voting for long time, maybe you can think of moving them to the experimental or periodic queue instead of running it in the check queue for every patch (or make it voting). This may be one of those small steps to optimize things a bit and make our own live easier as less load on infra means more stable jobs in general. Below there are results of the top 50 projects based on the "nodehours" per patch # Check queue +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------+------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------+---------------------------------+ | Project | Number of patches | Total Nodes used | Total time used [nodehour] | Nodes per patch (avg) | Time per patch (avg) [nodehour] | +--------------------------------------------------+-------------------+------------------+----------------------------+-----------------------+---------------------------------+ | openstack/openstack-ansible-rabbitmq_server | 2 | 72 | 90:06:07 | 36.00 | 45:03:03 | | openstack/octavia-tempest-plugin | 4 | 128 | 164:35:45 | 32.00 | 41:08:56 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-haproxy_server | 3 | 90 | 119:12:36 | 30.00 | 39:44:12 | | openstack/tacker | 14 | 1667 | 506:49:12 | 119.07 | 36:12:05 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_neutron | 8 | 204 | 289:32:21 | 25.50 | 36:11:32 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_keystone | 3 | 81 | 106:46:15 | 27.00 | 35:35:25 | | openstack/kolla-ansible | 130 | 8461 | 4491:25:21 | 65.08 | 34:32:57 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_octavia | 4 | 80 | 135:50:31 | 20.00 | 33:57:37 | | openstack/openstack-ansible | 31 | 872 | 1012:42:34 | 28.13 | 32:40:04 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_horizon | 5 | 115 | 162:39:57 | 23.00 | 32:31:59 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_aodh | 3 | 66 | 94:01:09 | 22.00 | 31:20:23 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_glance | 3 | 69 | 92:57:56 | 23.00 | 30:59:18 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_cinder | 3 | 63 | 86:19:38 | 21.00 | 28:46:32 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_magnum | 3 | 63 | 84:34:05 | 21.00 | 28:11:21 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_cloudkitty | 3 | 48 | 78:30:50 | 16.00 | 26:10:16 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_ironic | 6 | 93 | 153:06:27 | 15.50 | 25:31:04 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_barbican | 3 | 54 | 76:32:05 | 18.00 | 25:30:41 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_gnocchi | 2 | 32 | 51:00:15 | 16.00 | 25:30:07 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_ceilometer | 3 | 48 | 75:49:07 | 16.00 | 25:16:22 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_swift | 3 | 54 | 75:37:56 | 18.00 | 25:12:38 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_skyline | 5 | 89 | 124:53:18 | 17.80 | 24:58:39 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_placement | 2 | 36 | 49:46:31 | 18.00 | 24:53:15 | | openstack/tempest | 26 | 854 | 633:21:36 | 32.85 | 24:21:36 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_designate | 3 | 51 | 72:30:14 | 17.00 | 24:10:04 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_tempest | 2 | 36 | 47:27:46 | 18.00 | 23:43:53 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_mistral | 3 | 51 | 71:06:02 | 17.00 | 23:42:00 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_heat | 3 | 51 | 70:23:53 | 17.00 | 23:27:57 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_blazar | 2 | 32 | 46:30:44 | 16.00 | 23:15:22 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_masakari | 3 | 48 | 68:52:54 | 16.00 | 22:57:38 | | openstack/ansible-role-systemd_networkd | 13 | 277 | 297:37:09 | 21.31 | 22:53:37 | | openstack/ironic-tempest-plugin | 12 | 398 | 271:54:14 | 33.17 | 22:39:31 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-galera_server | 5 | 111 | 112:28:29 | 22.20 | 22:29:41 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_nova | 3 | 51 | 66:54:40 | 17.00 | 22:18:13 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_rally | 2 | 32 | 44:20:06 | 16.00 | 22:10:03 | | openstack/cinder | 127 | 3518 | 2746:32:43 | 27.70 | 21:37:34 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-os_tacker | 3 | 45 | 63:03:01 | 15.00 | 21:01:00 | | openstack/octavia | 38 | 917 | 764:50:26 | 24.13 | 20:07:38 | | openstack/cinder-tempest-plugin | 13 | 176 | 241:51:59 | 13.54 | 18:36:18 | | openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin | 8 | 129 | 147:41:46 | 16.12 | 18:27:43 | | openstack/devstack | 24 | 536 | 442:16:49 | 22.33 | 18:25:42 | | openstack/neutron | 186 | 3580 | 3283:39:42 | 19.25 | 17:39:14 | | openstack/nova | 251 | 6527 | 4383:59:41 | 26.00 | 17:27:58 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-plugins | 7 | 127 | 116:04:29 | 18.14 | 16:34:55 | | openstack/openstack-ansible-repo_server | 5 | 72 | 82:42:24 | 14.40 | 16:32:28 | | openstack/ironic | 79 | 2159 | 1284:28:46 | 27.33 | 16:15:33 | | openstack/ansible-role-systemd_service | 3 | 52 | 46:55:01 | 17.33 | 15:38:20 | | openstack/manila | 36 | 856 | 561:16:54 | 23.78 | 15:35:28 | | openstack/bifrost | 6 | 164 | 93:30:55 | 27.33 | 15:35:09 | | openstack/kolla | 35 | 997 | 530:29:59 | 28.49 | 15:09:25 | | openstack/glance | 43 | 718 | 616:18:37 | 16.70 | 14:19:58 | | openstack/manila-tempest-plugin | 13 | 177 | 178:58:11 | 13.62 | 13:46:00 | #

[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 25 Feb '25

25 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) 25 Feb '25

25 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 25 Feb '25

25 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

#eventle-removal - Progress & Updates Epoxy Milestones 2-3
by Herve Beraud 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Today we wanted to share with you the latest updates on our ongoing efforts to phase out Eventlet across our various OpenStack projects. Below you’ll find a summary of our progress, key milestones, and important dates to keep in mind as we continue to move forward with this critical initiative. ## Current Status The lib freeze is next week and we are close from milestone 3. At the time I wrote these lines 105 eventlet removal patches have been submitted on our gerrit and 61 patches are now merged. That shows really good progress. https://review.opendev.org/q/prefixtopic:%22eventlet-removal%22 Eventlet is now in version 0.39.0 and is compatible and ready to be used with Python 3.13, meaning that we are ready for an upgrade of our runtimes within the coming series. ## Achievements Among all the contributions, we can highlight these achievements: - 2 deliverables are now completely migrated: python-manilaclient and mistral-lib; - Neutron implemented their new socket server in replacement of the eventlet WSGI features and they started to migrate their OVN agent other that new server; - Mistral has made excellent progress and significantly reduced their usages of Eventelt. From moving from coroutines to threading, or migrating their messaging executor. We will been soon able to consider mistral as fully migrated; - Glance started a wide clean up of Eventlet into their functional tests; - oslo.service's backend mechanism is now implemented and the Eventlet isolation as been merged, opening the door of its refactoring based on threading; - Almost all Oslo deliverables (apart oslo.vmware) deprecated Eventlet from their usages; - Eventlet's support of Python 3.13 has been implemented and released; - Eventlet stabilization works have been done during the past months and we now observe less negative feedback and less new bugs. No news, good news; - The community goal is now selected, officializing the starting of this initiative. ## Latest Updates There are side conversations concerning the deprecation/removal of oslo.rootwrap and oslo.vmware. Those both deliverables rely on Eventlet and are in some way considered as deprecated or experimental. In parallel to that, we think we should also have a discussion about heat and heat-templates. The activity of these projects seems quite slow and (do not hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong) they are more or less in a way to be replaced with more modern ways to orchestrate OpenStack. Should we not prioritize their deprecation or at least start a wider discussion about their fate? ## Call to Action Epoxy is a SLURP series, and as we are close from lib freeze and from milestone 3, that's the right time to prioritize your deprecations in your deliverables in view of removing these pieces with non-SLURP series. The sooner they are deprecated the better. ## Important Dates Please do not hesitate to join us during our bi-weekly meeting on #openstack-eventlet-removal. Bring your own topics and do not hesitate to ask questions. All the details are available in the links below: - https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Eventlet-removal#Recurring_Events - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/epoxy-eventlet-tracking ## Final Thoughts This series strongly demonstrated the feasibility to remove our dependency to Eventlet. There is still a long way to go but the path is now well cleared. Do not hesitate to take example on the ongoing efforts, and If there are any questions or if you need assistance with your project’s transition away from Eventlet, please join the discussion on the #openstack- eventlet-removal OFTC channels . We will be happy to help you! Thank you for your dedication and hard work! -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/

[NOVA] - Instances got stuck at boot with PCI passthrough mechanism enabled
by jeanpierre.roquesalane＠dell.com 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hello all! Our new env uses Zuul and nodepool for managing vms on which will be executed devstack and tempest. Those VMS are hosted on an openstack cloud with nodepool spinning them up every time a CI job is triggered. This is something very common in OpenStack end users but can be challenging for our powermax product line as it requires HBA which are seen by the host not the guest. We have followed documentation to set it up and I confirm the HBAs are visible to the instances but unfortunately once those cards are seen the instance get stuck at the boot process just like they were waiting for something. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Separate the read/write SQL requests
by Mia 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hi OpenStack community, I'm currently working on read/write database splitting in my OpenStack environment using this document: https://docs.openstack.org/large-scale/journey/configure/database.html#reve… Here is what I've done up to this point: - Configured HAProxy as recommended - Added the slave_connection parameter to all service configurations(nova.conf, cinder.conf, etc.) To test this, I enabled MariaDB's general_log on all nodes. However, upon checking the logs, most SELECT queries still reach the first database node instead of the other replicas. Did I miss a configuration step somewhere? Any guidance would be super helpful.

Re: CLI clients and neutron QoS packet_rate_limit rules
by Nell Jerram 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

FYI the attached patches, against openstacksdk 0.62.0 and python-openstackclient 5.8.1, allow me to successfully execute `openstack network qos rule create --type packet-rate-limit --max-kpps 111 --ingress bw-limiter`. (I'm using those old base versions because of testing against a Yoga system.) If I may whinge for a brief moment: it's quite tedious that boilerplate changes are needed in multiple different places for this change. I'm only really saying this in case there are others who agree and my opinion might help to build their case...
