[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-19)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 20 May '25

20 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!

[all][dev][ops][tc] Bridging the gap between community and contributing orgs
by Jeremy Stanley 20 May '25

20 May '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.

[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.

[release] Release countdown for week R-19
by Thierry Carrez 16 May '25

16 May '25

Development Focus ----------------- We are now past the Flamingo-1 milestone. Teams should now be focused on feature development and completion of goals [0]. [0] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/selected/index.html General Information ------------------- Our next milestone in this development cycle will be Flamingo-2, on July 3rd, 2025. This milestone is when we freeze the list of deliverables that will be included in the 2025.2 Flamingo final release, so if you plan to introduce new deliverables in this release, please propose a change to add an empty deliverable file in the deliverables/flamingo directory of the openstack/releases repository. Now is also generally a good time to look at bugfixes that were introduced in the master branch that might make sense to be backported and released in a stable release. If you have any question around the OpenStack release process, feel free to ask on this mailing-list or on the #openstack-release channel on IRC. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Flamingo-2 Milestone: July 3rd, 2025 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[Kolla-Ansible][DockerImages] - Failing at start
by Victor Sartori 16 May '25

16 May '25

Hello All, Some containers are failing to start. All of them exhibit the same behavior: ``` + echo 'Running command: '\''uwsgi /etc/nova/nova-api-uwsgi.ini'\''' Running command: 'uwsgi /etc/nova/nova-api-uwsgi.ini' + exec uwsgi /etc/nova/nova-api-uwsgi.ini /usr/local/bin/kolla_start: line 27: exec: uwsgi: not found ``` Could this issue be related to a message posted in the OpenStack IRC? ``` -opendevstatus/#openstack- NOTICE: Setuptools 80.7.0 broke python package installs for many, affecting CI jobs. That release has been yanked, and it should be safe to recheck failed changes. ``` I see errors in the following containers: - quay.io/openstack.kolla/nova-scheduler:2024.2-ubuntu-noble - quay.io/openstack.kolla/placement-api:2024.2-ubuntu-noble - quay.io/openstack.kolla/cinder-volume:2024.2-ubuntu-noble It's likely that any container relying on uwsgi will fail. Environment: Ubuntu 24.04.2 Kernel 6.8.0-59-generic Docker CE 28.1.1 Kolla version: kolla-ansible 20.1.0.dev10 Any help?

[Kolla-Ansible][Magnum] Vexxhost CAPI no longer working
by Oliver Weinmann 16 May '25

16 May '25

Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I updated the containers in my 2023.2 release. kolla-ansible pull kolla-ansible deploy since then the Vexxhost driver in Magnum is no longer working. I have clusters stuck in provisioning and deleting: $ kubectl get cluster -A NAMESPACE NAME CLUSTERCLASS PHASE AGE VERSION magnum-system kube-6r0du magnum-v0.26.0 Provisioning 20d v1.26.7 magnum-system kube-7ljg3 magnum-v0.26.0 Provisioning 18d v1.26.7 magnum-system kube-csf6s magnum-v0.13.4 Deleting 71d v1.26.7 I believe this is due to a versionn mismatch. Many different tools are involved here. All pods in the KIND Management cluster are running: $ kubectl -n kube-system get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE coredns-76f75df574-lfckv 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d coredns-76f75df574-n85fv 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d etcd-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kindnet-jtdtm 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-apiserver-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-controller-manager-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 10 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-proxy-qwjc8 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-scheduler-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 9 (2d23h ago) 71d There is nothing obvious in the capi or capo logs. Is there someone that is currently running 2023.2 or newer with the Vexxhost CAPI driver? Would be great if you could share the versions of: Management Cluster $ kind --version kind version 0.22.0 $ export KUBECONFIG=~/config $ kubectl get nodes -o wide NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION INTERNAL-IP EXTERNAL-IP OS-IMAGE KERNEL-VERSION CONTAINER-RUNTIME magnumcapi-control-plane Ready control-plane 71d v1.29.2 172.18.0.2 <none> Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) 5.14.0-503.38.1.el9_5.x86_64 containerd://1.7.13 $ kubectl get provider -A NAMESPACE NAME AGE TYPE PROVIDER VERSION capi-kubeadm-bootstrap-system bootstrap-kubeadm 71d BootstrapProvider kubeadm v1.9.5 capi-kubeadm-control-plane-system control-plane-kubeadm 71d ControlPlaneProvider kubeadm v1.9.5 capi-system cluster-api 71d CoreProvider cluster-api v1.9.5 capo-system infrastructure-openstack 71d InfrastructureProvider openstack v0.10.8 The magnum pods: ~]# podman exec -it magnum_conductor bash ()[ /]$ pip list | grep api magnum-cluster-api 0.26.0 ()[ /]$ helm version version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.13.2", GitCommit:"2a2fb3b98829f1e0be6fb18af2f6599e0f4e8243", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.20.10"} ~]# podman exec -it magnum_api bash ()[ /]$ pip list | grep api magnum-cluster-api 0.26.0 ()[ /]$ helm version version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.13.2", GitCommit:"2a2fb3b98829f1e0be6fb18af2f6599e0f4e8243", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.20.10"} ()[ /]$ Cheers, Oliver
