[ironic] Future of Metalsmith
by Jay Faulkner 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

For almost two years, the Ironic team has had a "maintenance mode" message on the Metalsmith readme: "Please note the Metalsmith project is in maintenance mode and it's functionality is slowly being introduced into Ironic's API and usual clients. No additional features are expected to be added to Metalsmith directly." CI is currently not passing on this repository, and as far as I can tell there are no engaged users of this project upstream, and no current maintainers of Ironic invested in keeping this project afloat. I propose we retire the metalsmith project and exclude it from the Flamingo release. Are there any objections? Thanks, JayF

Setting up HA in OpenStack with Kolla-Ansible (Instance failover across compute nodes)
by SARAN RAJ 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

Hi OpenStack Community, I have installed **Masakari** using Kolla-Ansible, and after that I also installed **HACluster**. However, the HACluster containers are failing and keep exiting. Setup: - 3 controller nodes - Multiple compute nodes - Deployment: Kolla-Ansible My questions are: 1. Do I really need Masakari together with HACluster for instance HA? 2. Is there an alternative or recommended way to deploy HACluster with Kolla-Ansible? 3. Has anyone faced the issue where HACluster containers keep exiting after deployment? Any guidance, troubleshooting tips, or experiences would be very helpful.

[oslo] status of eventlet removal for oslo.service?
by Chris Friesen 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '25

Hi everyone, Looking at the "epoxy" spec for removing Eventlet from oslo.service (https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/oslo-specs/specs/epoxy/remove-eventle…) the very top line is a link to search blueprints.launchpad.net. Following that link it seems like there is no blueprint for removing eventlet from oslo.service, so does the spec itself (with the proposed milestones) represent the current plan? Separately, is there somewhere that shows the progress on the threading backend for oslo.service? I see it exists, are there any limitations on the current implementation? Thanks, Chris

[ops] [all] One Week until 2025 OpenStack User Survey Deadline
by Allison Price 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '25

Hi everyone, I wanted to remind everyone that next Friday, August 29 is the deadline to complete this year’s OpenStack User Survey. If you haven’t taken it before, this is a great opportunity to help channel feedback to the upstream community while helping us understand the global OpenStack footprint better. It should only take ~20 minutes and is incredibly valuable. If you have taken it before, it’s still important to review and update your data. This should only take a few minutes. https://openstack.org/usersurvey Thank you all! Cheers, Allison

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-5)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Hello Stackers, We're nearing the feature freeze date for the 2025.2 "Flamingo" release [1]. It's on Thursday, August 28, 2025. In the past week, we wrapped up the nomination window for the upcoming community elections [2]. We are currently observing a week of campaigning for TC positions where you may ask the candidates to share their views on any subject pertaining to the community. Their profiles and platforms are posted on the elections website [3]. The elections will begin on August 27, 2025, and will wrap up in three weeks. Also in the past week, the TC defined the tested runtimes and operating systems across OpenStack projects for the upcoming 2026.1 "Gazpacho" release [4]. Our hope is that project teams will prioritize technical debt, such as dropping the use of the eventlet library per our envisioned timeline, so we can match these runtime changes. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee occurred on August 19, 2025 [5]. The main topics of discussion were updates on the 2026.1 elections, the retirement process for Monasca repositories, and the ongoing issues with the Zuul CI system. A good portion of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing the election status, where we discussed the low engagement from some project teams with the election process. The change in OIF membership semantics affected several PTL and TC nominations and has resulted in a significantly reduced electorate. The meeting also addressed the Monasca repository retirement, where the path forward for deleting unmaintained branches and merging "empty" changes was discussed. Lastly, the meeting briefly touched on the impact of a recent Ansible version update on Zuul, which has caused job failures for jobs running on older Ubuntu nodes and older Python versions. If you're affected, please do consider migrating these jobs, or bring your concerns to OFTC's #opendev channel. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is today, August 26, 2025, at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted over IRC in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. Please find the agenda and other details on the meeting's wiki [6]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Define testing runtime for 2026.1 release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/957199 ==== Open for Review ==== - Retire metalsmith project from bare metal program | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958297 - Show inactive project status in project.yaml | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958229 - Retire Monasca project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - Use DPL model for watcher project leadership for 2026.1 release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958085 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-08-26: OpenInfra Days, Korea: https://2025.openinfradays.kr/ - 2025-08-27: OpenStack 2026.1 Election Voting begins: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-08-28: Feature Freeze deadline, Milestone-3 of the Flamingo release [1] - 2025-08-29: Colombia OpenInfra User Group Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/colombia-openinfra-user-group/events/307096751/ - 2025-09-09: OIF Board Monthly meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-10-17: OpenInfra Summit, Paris-Saclay: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/ Thank you very much for reading!
