East-West and the compute VM flows come to a centralized gateway for security audit
by Andy Zhou 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

Hello Everyone, Any advice about configure of Openstack or OVN/OVS, to implement a centralized gateway of all the flows of VMs for flow audit? Since the default type is distributed mode for the East-West flow, I want to know if we can change to a centralized one? Thank you! Best regards, Andy Zhou

Using slave_connection in keystone for a read-only local database node
by Tyler Wilson 01 Oct '25

01 Oct '25

Hello All, I'm trying to get keystone to respect my slave_connection configuration to use a local database node in my galera cluster. I have this set currently; connection = mysql+pymysql://keystone:$PASSWORD@$DB_PRIMARY_WRITE_IP/keystone slave_connection = mysql+pymysql://keystone:$PASSWORD@$DB_LOCAL_READ_IP/keystone However whenever I have this configured I still am getting queries sent to the $DB_PRIMARY_WRITE_IP for even simple things like 'openstack user list'. Is there some other configuration I need to set for this to go to the read DB node? I have query logging enabled on the mariadb side to confirm where the requests are going. For troubleshooting I changed them both to the local DB node IP, and it can indeed process the sql requests fine. Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 Package Version: 2:25.0.0-0ubuntu1 Thanks for any assistance!

Debian packages for Flamingo are available and validated
by Thomas Goirand 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Hi, I am finished packaging Flamingo, at least for all artifacts that were released already. I was able to run tempest on it, and all went well. I uploaded all to Debian Unstable already minor a few packages (like Ironic, that is having issues coping with pysnmp 7, and mistral that is stuck on one of its unit tests: I'll investigate both soon). Packages are available through the usual channel. To get the osbpo.debian.net backport repository for Trixie, do: apt-get install extrepo extrep enable openstack_flamingo apt-get update Note that osbpo is now updated automatically on all git push based on event, rather than a cron job, so it's kind of instant now. So there's no reason to use the http://<debian-suite>-<openstack-release.debian.net repositories anymore (these are now only useful for me, internally, to build backport packages with Jenkins). Also, the deb-status page is also event driven, and updated each time a new package is updated. Please see: https://osbpo.debian.net/deb-status/ In there, you will see that I also took the time to update all past OpenStack release to the latest point release for all deliverables. Please report bugs through the usual channel: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting I'll package final versions as they come, though changes are expected to be minimal (if any change at all), as for every OpenStack release. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[openstack] about libvirt exporter
by Nguyễn Hữu Khôi 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Hello. I see that this exporter looks like it collects a lot of information such as projectname, username or flavor of metrics but it looks not popular. It could help us build a very useful dashboard. https://github.com/zhangjianweibj/prometheus-libvirt-exporter I just want to understand some thoughts. Nguyen Huu Khoi

how to spare resource for evacuation
by Jiatong Shen 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Hello experts, I would like to ask if there is a way to reserve some resources (CPU and Memory) in advance and later use them in case one compute node crashes. For example, vSphere implemetens Cluster Resources Percentage Admission Control [1] and could reserve resources beforehand. Thank you very much for the help. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen [1] https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vsphere/vsphere/7-0/vsphere-…

[i18n] Current Weblate Migration Status
by Seongsoo Cho 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Hello i18n team, OpenStack's current translation platform(translation.openstack.org) is based on Zanata, which is no longer maintained. To ensure a sustainable translation workflow, the i18n team has been migrating from Zanata to Weblate. This work officially started following the CMU Summer semester mentoring shared by Kendall Nelson in May (link), and has since been moving forward in collaboration with the Korea User Group and mentees participating in the government-sponsored Open Source Contribution Academy program. 1. Migration progress Migration scope: - Download translated .po files from Zanata and upload them to Weblate - The same language set configured in Zanata is also applied in Weblate. Branches: - Currently, only the master branch is being migrated. - We are exploring ways to support stable branches in the future. Migration Contents: - At this stage, the migration targets strings inside source code and release notes. - We are in the process of expanding this to include documentation as well. We started with Horizon and its plugins, and the following projects have already been successfully migrated to Weblate: • cloudkitty-dashboard • designate-dashboard • freezer-web-ui • heat-dashboard • horizon • ironic-ui • magnum-ui • manila-ui • networking-bgpvpn • neutron-fwaas-dashboard • neutron-vpnaas-dashboard • octavia-dashboard • trove-dashboard • zaqar-ui • zun-ui 2. New Zuul jobs for Weblate To replicate the existing Zanata-based Zuul workflow, we are adding new Weblate jobs. • Patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstack-zuul-jobs/+/921878 We plan to reuse the translation-jobs-master-only Zuul templates and update the following playbooks to run both Zanata and Weblate tasks: • https://opendev.org/openstack/project-config/src/branch/master/playbooks/tr… • https://opendev.org/openstack/project-config/src/branch/master/playbooks/tr… • Patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/961499 3. Migration scripts Although they are one-off scripts, we are adding them to the i18n repository to document how we migrated from Zanata to Weblate. • Language sync tool: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/i18n/+/961371 • Zanata-to-Weblate migration tool: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/i18n/+/961075 4. Next steps for migration We have implemented everything needed to replace the Zanata-based jobs with Weblate. Once the Zuul job patches are merged, we will verify the upstream pipeline. Our goal is to migrate all projects from Zanata to Weblate by October. After verifying the pipeline, we plan to shut down Zanata. 5. Future plans Beyond this migration, we plan to expand translation targets — including OpenStack governance documents and the docs/ directories of many projects — to provide broader translation opportunities. Anyone interested in contributing is warmly welcome to join us in the #openstack-i18n IRC channel and say hello! Thanks, Best Regards Seongsoo Cho -- Seongsoo Cho OpenStack Korea User Group / Community Leader IRC #seongsoocho

[nova][cpu] Question about cpu_policy=dedicated with thread_policy=isolate in Victoria
by Aleksandar Cerepnalkovski 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Hi all, What I'm trying to do is isolate vCPUs on separate physical cores where pair siblings will be reserved / not used by any other VM nor by this VM as well. Of course it is about SMT/HT enabled hosts. So by using a combination of extra spec on flavor (cpu_policy=dedicated , plus thread_policy=isolate), i'm always receiving errors ( no host available) . I'm using the Victoria OpenStack release. I've found (also playing with AI tools) that this combination is tricky (buggy) in Victoria and might not work and it might always fail. Actually what this combination is introduced for ? 1. If is it for what i meant ( forcing SMT enabled host to behave like non-SMT host, for some number of cores not all) then why is it not working ? 2. If not, what is the purpose of this combination ? Thanks, BR Aleksandar
