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.

Remove config drive of instances
by Pardhiv Karri 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Hi, We are on the Openstack Queens version. We added the config drive option during its build but never used it. How can we remove it? The "OpenStack server delete --no-config-drive" option isn't available due to the older version we are using. What is the best way to eliminate it, hopefully without rebooting the instances? Thanks, IM

[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

Issues with installing Zun on Compute node
by Vaibhav 28 Feb '25

28 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. Vaibhav

[Openstack-ansible][cinder-volume] deletion of snapshot after creating a volume from it..
by Danish Khan 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

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. Regards, Danish
