[magnum] April vPTG summary and Magnum meeting time change
by Dale Smith 20 May '25

20 May '25

Hello all, I wanted to post a short summary to this list of the vPTG[1] the Magnum team held on April 8th and 9th 2025. These are the topics and a summary of my notes from the discussions. If I missed key details please add these to the etherpad and/or reply here. Thank you all for attending. Please get in touch if the timing of the vPTG did not work for you, as we could propose multiple timezone slots in future. * Heat driver deprecation. o This driver is marked deprecated in Dalmation 2025.1, being replaced by either of the Cluster API drivers, and we discussed when and how we will remove it from Magnum codebase. o We are now looking at removing the Heat driver in this (Flamingo 2025.2) cycle, as waiting longer may imply waiting until 2026.2 due to SLURP release expectations. We would like to hear any feedback on this plan from users of Magnum - either in the mailing list or join one of our IRC meetings[2]. o One option is to move the driver out of tree into its own codebase (perhaps in `x/`), to allow deployers to keep their existing clusters functional and addressable by Magnum while transitioning to a Cluster API driver. This initiative needs effort and a champion to drive it. * Helm charts (magnum-capi-helm driver) o While the driver code is now in opendev the Helm charts live in azimuth-cloud's github. These are a major component of the driver and we discussed the reasoning behind keeping them in github and stability of the Magnum-capi-helm driver. o The current proposal is to snapshot the upstream repo at regular intervals into the opendev repo. This avoids maintenance of a complete fork, but keeps the Magnum-capi-helm driver with a stable internal reference of the helm charts. * CI for the Magnum project was discussed o One big implication of the Heat driver being removed is what we test against. o Including the CAPI drivers (initially non-voting) would give stability, provided external changes wouldn't break the CI. * Normalised labels proposal o Dale has a proposal for Normalised labels[3], aiming for Mutable labels. The video format discussion of the vPTG was very helpful to give context and move the idea forward to cover API backwards compatibility requirements and a better way to implement support labels for different drivers. o The proposal as it stands should be re-worked to look at covering a similar extension pattern that Nova has with drivers, and possibly look to replace labels. * TC initiatives o We discussed the upcoming Eventlet removal and as we are a small team we will wait for guidance and examples to follow before implementing, but we remain aware of this initiative. Finally, I wanted to announce to the list that at last weeks Magnum IRC meeting we proposed and agreed on a new time slot. This is on alternate (every second) Tuesday at 8am UTC starting on the 27th May[2]. See the meeting notes for a full transcript and discussion[4].

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-19)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 19 May '25

19 May '25

Hello Stackers, We are 19 weeks away from the release date for OpenStack 2025.2 "Flamingo" [1]. Last week, election officials published the combined TC and PTL election schedule targeting the next release cycle [2]. We are setting up our election configuration early to ensure that community members have adequate time to propose and deliberate nominations. The elections themselves will occur in August 2025, and the official nominations window opens on 2025-08-06 (week R-8). However, you are welcome to submit your candidacy early in case you anticipate being away. Please note that your nomination will not be merged until the nomination window opens. This election is also an opportunity for OpenStack project teams to modify their leadership model if they choose. All project teams with "distributed" project leadership will be required to update their liaisons or assert that no change is necessary by week R-8. Please await changes from the TC on Gerrit to do so. No further governance changes were made last week; however, a few proposals are open for review. === Weekly Meeting === The weekly IRC meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee occurred on 2025-05-13 [3]. A lot of progress was made in the past few weeks with regard to action items that we were tracking from our Project Team Gathering in April. We discussed a proposal [4] to require a declaration of affiliation when contesting TC elections and how that would apply to current TC members. The proposal seeks to enhance transparency and allow voters to make more informed choices since the TC has an affiliation diversity requirement [5] that is enforced when adopting the results of an election. Concerns were raised about potential misinterpretations regarding company influence and the perception of OpenStack's governance. It was recommended that we add specific disclaimers as to why the affiliation is declared on our governance pages after this proposal has been adopted. We also socialized the kick-off for the 2026.1 elections. I will be serving as the TC's election liaison and helping our election officials Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) and Ian Y Choi (ianychoi). We discussed the state of the CI, bringing the TC up to speed on several cross-community CI efforts. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is on 2025-05-20 at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be held over IRC on the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the agenda and other details in the meeting's wiki page [6]. I hope you will be able to join us there! === Governance Proposals === === Open for review === - [resolution] Relinquish "quantum" project on PyPI | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949783 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 - Clarify actions when no elections are required | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949431 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-05-22: OpenInfra UG Meetup, Sweden: https://www.meetup.com/openinfra-user-group-sweden/events/306139678/ - 2025-06-03: 15 ans d'OpenStack - OpenInfra UG, Paris: https://www.meetup.com/openstack-france/events/307492285 - 2025-06-05: OpenStack 15 ans! - OpenInfra UG, Rennes: https://www.meetup.com/openstack-rennes/events/306903998 - 2025-06-28: OpenInfra+Cloud Native Day, Vietnam: https://www.vietopeninfra.org/void2025 Thank you very much for reading!

[openstack-helm] Are there any real users of the umbrella chart?
by Vladimir Kozhukalov 17 May '25

17 May '25

Hi team, This is to start the discussion about the future of the Openstack super (umbrella) chart [1]. My personal impression (maybe I am wrong) is that this chart is of extremely little interest. We continue to maintain this code (and spend testing resources) but maybe there are no real users of it. The chart deploys a compute-kit scheme but the same result can be achieved if one deploys multiple separate charts one-by-one. It seems convenient to have this single super chart that deploys Openstack with a single command, but IMO even small operators prefer using separate charts. Having said that, I would suggest removing this chart if it is not needed. [1] https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm/src/branch/master/openstack -- Best regards, Kozhukalov Vladimir

[nova] Auto-convergence but for I/O
by Winicius Allan 17 May '25

17 May '25

Is there any option for disk I/O auto-convergence like conf.libvirt.live_migration_permit_auto_converg for memory-intensive instances? The use case is for an I/O intensive VM, so the disk cannot be migrated. Instead, it is necessary to change the max IO with `$ virsh blkdeviotune` then, migrate the instance and replace the current value with the old using the same command. regards.
