[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-16)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Hello Stackers, We're 16 weeks away from the date earmarked for the coordinated 2025.2 "Flamingo" release of OpenStack [1]. OpenStack project teams are wrapping up design specifications and gearing up to land feature changes. In the past week, the OpenInfra Foundation officially joined the Linux Foundation [2]. This is a significant move for OpenStack and other projects under the OIF. I join you in hoping that this means greater acceleration for OpenStack and broader avenues to collaborate with other open source projects under the Linux Foundation. In the same week, the OpenStack Technical Committee also passed a few important resolutions. The primary one was to adopt the "Developer Certificate of Origin" [3] for contributor sign-offs beginning July 1, 2025. What does this mean for you? This means that any new patch uploaded to the OpenStack review system (https://review.opendev.org) on or after July 1, 2025, will require a "Signed-off-by" line in the commit message. Doing so indicates that you are submitting this code in adherence to the DCO, which replaces the Contributor License Agreement that we have long required. Adding a DCO sign-off can be done by using "git commit -s" when your username and email are properly configured in your Git environment. The TC encourages PTLs, project liaisons, and all maintainers to help other contributors become familiar with this change and assist anyone who may be confused by the new requirement. If you have any questions, please join us in #openstack-dev or #openstack-tc on OFTC, or ask away on this mailing list. Alongside this significant change, the TC also clarified the actions that the Election Officials will take when there is no need for an election [4]. The next elections for Project Team Leads and a portion of the OpenStack Technical Committee will occur between Aug 27, 2025, and Sep 17, 2025. The official nomination window opens at 23:45 UTC on Aug 06, 2025. However, you're welcome to submit your nomination at any time before this date. Doing so may be helpful if you plan to be away during the nomination window. OpenDev Infrastructure Administrators have now enabled all registered users to add or edit hashtags on the code review system [5]. Some project teams have long found this useful for linking related changes—hashtags in Gerrit are more versatile than topics. I hope you'll find this helpful! === Weekly Meeting === On Jun 3, 2025, the OpenStack Technical Committee held its weekly meeting as both a video conference [6] and over IRC in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel [7]. The meeting was well attended and primarily focused on the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) implementation, contributor experience challenges, and other open governance proposals. A key decision was to separate translation-related concerns from the main DCO implementation. The i18n SIG has been migrating from Zanata to Weblate and will explore how the DCO can be prominently enforced via Weblate. The discussion then moved on to the findings from the maintainer and contributor surveys for the Epoxy release cycle. The survey results [8] indicated that 73% of maintainers reported difficulty getting review attention, while 68% of non-maintainer contributors faced challenges in having their reviews completed. TC members brainstormed potential reasons, and some key concerns identified include: - Inconsistent review prioritization across projects - Poor visibility into project-specific review processes - Heavy reliance on Etherpads for tracking priorities - Underutilization of review priority labels in projects that have enabled them A couple of minor action items were identified for the TC and project maintainers. Project maintainers are expected to audit their CONTRIBUTING.rst files and clearly indicate how contributors can get their changes reviewed and merged. The TC also plans to enforce more structured cross-project discussions at the October PTG. As a tangential concern, we supported the idea of hosting an ops meetup at the upcoming OpenInfra Summit in Paris-Saclay [9]. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2025-06-09, at 17:00 UTC. This meeting will be held over IRC in the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the agenda on the meeting's wiki page [10]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Replace CLA with DCO for all contributions | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/950463 - Add nova-contrib repository | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/951569 - Clarify actions when no elections are required | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949431 ==== Open for review ==== - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-06-13: CFP Closes for the OpenInfra Summit EU: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/cfp/ - 2025-06-28: OpenInfra+Cloud Native Day, Vietnam: https://www.vietopeninfra.org/void2025 - 2025-07-19: OpenInfra Days Indonesia: https://2025.openinfra.id/ Thank you very much for reading!

In openstack, is there a feature to list all the available routes for the rest api servers, instead of checking and referring the documentation? Thanks elinux

[designate] Support for quorum queues
by Thomas Goirand 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Hi, When setting-up Designate with quorum queues, when designate-central starts, I get: Queue.declare: (406) PRECONDITION_FAILED - invalid property 'non-durable' for queue 'central' in vhost '/' Does Designate support quorum queues? If so, how com it's trying to set 'non-durable', which doesn't exist as attribute, at least with RabbitMQ 4.0.5? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[release] Release countdown for week R-16
by Thierry Carrez 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Development Focus ----------------- The Flamingo-2 milestone will happen in next month, on July 3rd, 2025. 2025.2 Flamingo-related specs should now be finalized so that teams can move to implementation ASAP. Some teams observe specific deadlines on the second milestone (mostly spec freezes): please refer to https://releases.openstack.org/flamingo/schedule.html for details. General Information ------------------- Please remember that libraries need to be released at least once per milestone period. At milestone 2, the release team will propose releases for any library that has not been otherwise released since milestone 1. Other non-library deliverables that follow the cycle-with-intermediary release model should have an intermediary release before milestone-2. Those who haven't will be proposed to switch to the cycle-with-rc model, which is more suited to deliverables that are released only once per cycle. At milestone-2 we also freeze the contents of the final release. If you have a new deliverable that should be included in the final release, you should make sure it has a deliverable file in: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/flami… You should request a beta release (or intermediary release) for those new deliverables by milestone-2. We understand some may not be quite ready for a full release yet, but if you have something minimally viable to get released it would be good to do a 0.x release to exercise the release tooling for your deliverables. See the MembershipFreeze description for more details: https://releases.openstack.org/flamingo/schedule.html#f-mf Finally, now may be a good time for teams to check on any stable releases that need to be done for your deliverables. If you have bugfixes that have been backported, but no stable release getting those. If you are unsure what is out there committed but not released in the openstack/releases repo, running the command "tools/list_stable_unreleased_changes.sh <cycle_name>" gives a nice report. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Flamingo-2 Milestone: July 3rd, 2025 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

Networking design for two external networks
by Andrei RADU 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Hello guys, This is obviously a noob question but here goes: We want to link our openstack cloud with the rest of the network with two separate external physical routers, for redundancy. These will also be the BGP peers declared in openstack for advertising internal routes. We could do VRRP and have a shared IP between the two external routers but I understand that if we make a bgp adjacency with a VIP between the two external routers, when this will move from one router to the other in case of failure, there will be a period of outage on the BGP. So in order to avoid that, in openstack we were thinking to have two external provider network vlans, one for each external router, which will handle connectivity with the exterior. What would be the best network design to link the tenant networks to these two networks in a HA mode? Where would be best place to do the “smart” routing to direct the traffic one way or the other. Or is there a more elegant solution? Thank you and sorry if the question is too basic or too general, hopefully if someone used this design can share their experience.

RE: Create image error
by berndbausch＠gmail.com 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

Violating limits imposed by the operator should lead to a useful error message rather than an HTTP 5xx error. In any case, there should have been a message in the Glance API log. Perhaps you are using a prerelease version of OpenStack? When you get Devstack from the Git, you may want to specify the version; otherwise, you obtain software that is currently under development. For example, the following gets you the first version released this year (Epoxy): git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/devstack -b stable/2025.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: BEDDA Fadhel <fadhel.bedda(a)gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2025 6:00 PM To: berndbausch(a)gmail.com Subject: Re: Create image error Hello, I was able to work around the problem by disabling the limits in the file: /etc/glance/glance-api.conf False instead of True Thanks Le sam. 31 mai 2025 à 09:55, <mailto:berndbausch@gmail.com> a écrit : My guess is that the image service is down. To check its status: systemctl status devstack@g-api Also check the image service log: journalctl -e -u devstack@g-api ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: BEDDA Fadhel <mailto:fadhel.bedda@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2025 3:08 PM To: mailto:openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org Subject: Create image error Hi everyone, I installed OpenStack (DevStack). At first, I was able to create three images (Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows) in addition to the Cirros image. When I tried to add another image, everything got stuck. I couldn't add any images, and I got the infamous error 550. HttpException: 502: Server Error for url:

[neutron][ops] pre-created port remains in use after instance is deleted
by Eugen Block 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

Hello again, this is version Caracal, recently upgraded from Antelope. We're currently facing an issue with pre-created ports. This used to work just fine for years, now we have to delete the port, recreate it and try again. For example, we launch an instance with a pre-created port, notice that something is wrong and delete the instance. Previously, we could just launch a new instance and use the same port-id, but now we get this error: # openstack server create --image <image> --flavor 1 --port d10298ea-6dd9-40af-af7e-507f4d83a8cf test-port4 Port d10298ea-6dd9-40af-af7e-507f4d83a8cf is still in use. (HTTP 409) (Request-ID: req-e6cef8b4-d8af-4312-852b-d44ec92cf27a) I noticed that the device_id was still pointing to the previous instance, so I tried a couple of things to clear the port state, but to no avail. I tried: - openstack port set --device None d10298ea-6dd9-40af-af7e-507f4d83a8cf - openstack port set --device "" d10298ea-6dd9-40af-af7e-507f4d83a8cf and a couple of more set commands. I also don't see any option for port creation to allow reusing a pre-created port. Am I missing something? Thanks! Eugen
