[manila][election] Carlos da Silva candidacy for 2025.2 Manila PTL
by Carlos Silva 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello zorillas and interested stackers, I would like to announce my candidacy to be Manila PTL over the 2025.2 (Flamingo) cycle. I have been working with these amazing contributors and community members for many cycles. If elected, this will be my 6th cycle as a PTL. We shared a lot of accomplishments and faced lots of challenges together. We have continuously been delivering features, fixes, and enhancements requested by operators. We are making solid progress on enhancing the review bandwidth by actively adding more people to the core team and promoting engaging activities around reviews, to get more traction. We have also been closing the gap on the Manila UI features, implementing OpenAPI schemas, integrating manila with OpenStack SDK and enhancing our documentation. For the next cycle, I would like to continue what we have been doing, but also focus on: * Tech debt: continue the efforts to get parity between Manila APIs and Manila UI, complete the rootwrap->privsep migration. * Eventlet: python-manilaclient is successfully migrated, and we will continue the process for all other manila repositories. * Ensuring we are making progress on the integration Barbican and the implementation of share encryption. * Work with the contributors to ensure we have healthy testing jobs for first party CI drivers. Thank you for your consideration. Carlos da Silva IRC: carloss

[tc][election] gouthamr's TC Candidacy for 2025.2
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello Stackers, I am submitting my candidacy for another term on the OpenStack Technical Committee. Over the past year, I had a rare privilege of being a first-time TC member, and its Chair. I was lucky to have enormous support from the team and past chairs to be effective. Over this time, I fostered open, consensus-driven discussions, making my best effort to let every voice be heard and ensure that governance is accessible to all contributors. I worked to bridge the gap between the community and the TC through weekly summary emails, and engagement with contributors at PTGs, in-person events and online meetings. TC decisions are more transparent and inclusive in the process. I advocated for contributor initiatives, conducted onboarding workshops, promoted internships, and helped connect contributors and project leadership. I assisted in the revival of project teams, improving election processes, securing project trackers, and OpenStack’s presence on PyPI and Launchpad. This ensured that our community was a reliable and well-maintained ecosystem for its users and contributors. Beyond community engagement, the TC I was part of collectively made meaningful governance changes to direct our limited resources to high-impact areas, things that were more important to the community, than any single contributing organization. I will continue pushing for this, with a bias toward strengthening the community. Looking ahead, my priorities for the next year include grooming the next set of OpenStack leaders, furthering cross-community collaboration, driving work that ensure OpenStack’s continued relevance, including a sustained focus on critical community goals and improvements. I'm excited to support the OpenInfra community as a project leader should OpenStack and OpenInfra projects move under the Linux Foundation. I believe OpenStack thrives because we've created a welcoming, productive environment for all contributors, new and experienced alike. If re-elected, I'll ensure that OpenStack remains an inclusive, innovative, and technically strong open-source community. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr) [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/election/+/942001

Understanding update in Heat orchestration templates
by Uday Dikshit 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello Team we are using Heat to automate orchestration of our application nodes. So please consider a case: I am running 3 nodes in the heat stack. And let's say I have made some updates in the the application code over these 3 nodes. So when I scale up the stack orchestrates and add another node but with the original image. To deal with this if I update the stack template heat rebuilds the original 3 nodes as well with the new snapshot image which makes my application to be unavailable during the update process. It would be really helpful if anybody could put in some ideas around this on how work this case around? Thanks in advance Uday Dikshit

[elections][ptl][keystone] Stepping down as PTL
by Dave Wilde 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello, Due to a recent change in my career path I’ve come to the difficult decision that I need to step down as the Keystone PTL. Over the past 4 years as the PTL the Keystone project has really come a long way, from the establishment of reviewathons and an engaged team of core reviewers to the implementation of some long sought after features and a clean up and modernization of the codebase. This is all due to some very dedicated folks and I’ld like to pass on my personal thanks to them for all of the hard work. Keystone is at a very interesting point in it’s history and I think the future holds bright things for the project, I would like to still be involved but due to the time constraints of my new position I no longer have the bandwidth to manage the day to day aspects of such a large project. I’m looking forward to helping whoever takes the reins in whatever ways that I can. Thanks again, it’s been a pleasure. /Dave

[cinder] Support for Portworx
by Waines, Greg 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Does anyone know how to use a https://portworx.com/ kubernetes-based storage solution as the storage backend for Cinder ? There is a Pure Storage driver listed in https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/volume… . https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/driver… BUT I do NOT believe this is the correct driver for interfacing with an https://portworx.com/ storage cluster. AND Neither the portworx documentation site ( https://docs.portworx.com/ ) nor the portworx github ( https://github.com/portworx ) have any information about integration with Cinder or OpenStack. ( ... although I believe it used to ... ) any info would be appreciated, Greg.

[tc][all][monasca ] Retiring the Monasca project
by Ghanshyam Mann 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

Hello everyone, As you might know, the Monasca project is not active and was marked 'inactive' since 2024.1 cycle[1]. In this cycle also, this project is leaderless[2] and no maintainer stepped up to maintain it. As discussed in the Leaderless project etherpad[2], the next step is to retire the project. I'm sending this email to propose the Monasca retirement and based on the response, I will proceed next.

[kolla-ansible]how to set ovn_cms_opts in non gateway chassis
by Satish Patel 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

Folks, I have 3 controller nodes and they are gateway nodes also but now I want to add 2 more compute nodes who will have the following flag to handle external port traffic to reply to DHCP for sriov nodes. $ ovs-vsctl set open_vswitch . external_ids:ovn-cms-options="enable-chassis-as-extport-host" How and where do I tell kolla-ansible to put the above option for those 2 new compute nodes so options will survive re-deployment.
