Hi, This is just to advertise next cycle's proposed release schedule [1][2]. Feel free to comment on the patch [1] about the timing of milestones, etc. The generated page can also be checked here [2] (though be careful, as this belongs to PS4, so if that is not the latest patch set at the time of looking, then please search for the latest one).

[Kolla-ansible][epoxy]nova problems at restart
by Franck VEDEL (UGA) 25 Jul '25

25 Jul '25

Hello everyone, I need your help. II will try to explain my problem by providing a lot of information. I have been trying to solve it for 3 days, without success. In May, my old cluster became too small for the 200 students using it, so I started installing a new cluster. Six nodes, three in one data center, three in another. After testing with Bobcat and Caracal (unsatisfactory, with numerous issues, especially with authentication and display in Horizon), I tried Epoxy. I installed everything I needed and tested it. It was a real success. It was very fast in its new configuration, and I thought everything would be ready by September. In May, my old cluster was becoming too small for the 200 students using it, so I started installing a new cluster. 6 nodes, 3 in one data center, 3 in another. After testing with Bobcat and Caracal (unsatisfactory, with numerous issues, especially with authentication and display in Horizon), I tried Epoxy. I installed everything I needed and tested it. It was a real success. It was very fast in its new configuration; I thought everything would be ready by September. At the beginning of July, I was told to shut down everything, due to electrical maintenance in a data center. I shut everything down. 3 days later, I restarted it, and nothing worked anymore. However, it was simply a shutdown/restart of the servers. The problems are with Nova. Here's some information and logs, if you can help me restart the cluster. So Epoxy on Ubuntu 2404.

[neutron]instances can see traffic of others
by Nguyễn Hữu Khôi 25 Jul '25

25 Jul '25

Hello, I have some instances in the same vlan and compute node. They can see traffic from another instance which looks like port mirror. I can workaround via anti affinity rules but is there any solution for this problem? On vmware we can turn off or on promiscuous mode on the network port group. Thank you. Regards Nguyen Huu Khoi

[kolla][barbican] How to securely manage OpenStack service passwords with Castellan?
by elnaz cl 24 Jul '25

24 Jul '25

Hi all, I have deployed OpenStack using Kolla Ansible. By default, service passwords (e.g., for MySQL, Keystone, etc.) are stored in clear text inside configuration files rendered by Kolla (such as nova.conf, keystone.conf, etc.). I'm looking for a more secure approach to avoid exposing these secrets. Specifically, is there a way to integrate Barbican and Castellan with Kolla-based deployments, so that secrets can be securely loaded at runtime using oslo.config (e.g., using {{ secret:UUID }})? If this is not natively supported, are there any best practices or workarounds for handling this securely? Thanks in advance for any guidance. Best, [Your Name]

Neutron dhcp
by engineer2024 23 Jul '25

23 Jul '25

Hi Folks, In a neutron DHCP network, the route to the link local metadata ip from a VM, is thru the ip set by the neutron dhcp agent's static route option for that subnet. This is the same IP as that of the qdhcp namespace's tap interface. Can we choose a specific ip from this subnet and pass it to neutron to use the same when assigning the ip in qdhcp ns and as a static route option to link local ?

Hello, team! What is the difference between *networking-generic-switch* and *networking-baremetal* in terms of l*ocal_link_information*? The networking-generic-switch README file is explicit about local_link_information. Does networking-baremetal also handle local_link_information? -- Joao

[cinder] Disable Availability Zone
by Kees Meijs | Nefos 22 Jul '25

22 Jul '25

Hello Stackers, For legacy purposes, we've got an Availability Zone running that's not to be used for new workload any more. Within Nova one could simply disable Compute Nodes (and that's what we did) ensuring no Compute Instances get scheduled. But, how about Cinder? How can we keep current workload running within a certain AZ, but ensure no new workload gets accepted? Thanks! Cheers, Kees

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-10)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 22 Jul '25

22 Jul '25

Hello Stackers, We're ten weeks away from the coordinated release of OpenStack 2025.2 ("Flamingo") [1]. The feature freeze date for this release is in five weeks (2025-08-28). In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee did not merge any new governance changes, though a few are currently under community review. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee took place on 2025-07-15 over IRC [2]. The TC caught up on a backlog of action items, starting with progress on the community goal to drop the use of eventlet [3]. We discussed the activity within the Monasca project team and have reached out to the PTL and core reviewers to talk about its future. The rest of the meeting focused on the maintenance of the "service-types-authority" repository. While some suggested involving the openstacksdk-core team in its maintenance, others opined that the repo should remain under TC oversight due to its governance significance—since changes affect how services are named and recognized across the ecosystem. For now, we have renewed our commitment to reviewing and merging change proposals more actively. A late tangent about the First Contact SIG’s dormancy prompted an idea to review SIG activity at the upcoming PTG in October. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2025-07-22, at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted over IRC on the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. The agenda has been added to the meeting's wiki page [4]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. Any community member is welcome to edit the wiki page and propose new topics. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open for review ==== - os-test-images never releases | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/954249 - Retire networking-midonet | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/955364 - Remove Monasca from active project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - Make Eventlet removal deadlines more acceptable for operators | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/952903 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-07-26: OpenInfra Days, Vietnam: https://www.vietopeninfra.org/void2025 - 2025-08-06: Nominations open for OpenStack elections: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-08-26: OpenInfra Days, Korea: https://2025.openinfradays.kr/ - 2025-08-29: Colombia OpenInfra User Group Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/colombia-openinfra-user-group/events/307096751/ - 2025-10-17: OpenInfra Summit, Paris-Saclay: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/ Thank you very much for reading!

Instance Freeze During Snapshot in OpenStack 2024.1 with Ceph Octopus
by mohammad kokabi 21 Jul '25

21 Jul '25

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently using OpenStack version 2024.1, with Ceph Octopus as the backend storage. The configuration is as follows: Glance is configured to use the "images" pool on Ceph. The virtual machine disks are stored on the "vms" pool. When I attempt to create a snapshot of a running instance, the instance appears to freeze for a few seconds, during which it loses network connectivity (e.g., I cannot ping it). This behavior is unexpected, as I understand that snapshot operations, especially with Ceph backend, should not significantly interrupt the instance's runtime. Could you please advise what might be causing this issue? Are there any known limitations, configurations, or best practices I should be aware of regarding snapshot behavior with Ceph in this version of OpenStack? Looking forward to your insights. Best regards,
