by Elõd Illés 19 Sep '25

19 Sep '25

Development Focus ----------------- We are on the final mile of the 2025.2 "Flamingo" development cycle! Remember that the 2025.2 "Flamingo" final release will include the latest release candidate (for cycle-with-rc deliverables) or the latest intermediary release (for cycle-with-intermediary deliverables) available. September 26th, 2025 is the deadline for final 2025.2 "Flamingo" release candidates as well as any last cycle-with-intermediary deliverables. We will then enter a quiet period until we tag the final release on October 1st, 2025. Teams should be prioritizing fixing release-critical bugs, before that deadline. Otherwise it's time to start planning the 2026.1 "Gazpacho" development cycle, including discussing Forum and PTG sessions content, in preparation of OpenInfra Summit Europe (Paris-Saclay, France; October 17th-19th, 2025) and virtual OpenStack PTG (October 27th-31st, 2025). Actions ------- Watch for any translation patches coming through on the stable/2025.2 branch and merge them quickly. If you discover a release-critical issue, please make sure to fix it on the master branch first, then backport the bugfix to the stable/2025.2 branch before triggering a new release. Please drop by #openstack-release with any questions or concerns about the upcoming release ! Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Final 2025.2 "Flamingo" release: October 1st, 2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe: October 17th-19th, 2025 OpenStack PTG (virtual): October 27th-31st, 2025 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release

[neutron] VPN service/router stays PENDING_CREATE - 2024.2 Dalmatian
by Shubham Yadav 19 Sep '25

19 Sep '25

Hello OpenStack Community, I'm working with OpenStack VPNaaS (using strongSwan as the backend driver) and have a question about tunnel configuration capabilities. Current Setup: OpenStack VPNaaS with strongSwan driver (StrongSwanDriver) Single VPN Service (gateway) with multiple IPSec Site Connections Each connection targets different remote peers with distinct subnets Configuration Details: VPN Service: Connected to a single router Multiple IPSec Site Connections under the same VPN Service: Connection 1: To MY office (10.10.100.0/24) via peer 68.x.y.34 Connection 2: To Rackspace (172.24.60.0/22) via peer 184.n.p.53 Shared IKE and IPSec policies across connections Local endpoint groups covering multiple subnets (192.168.0.0/24, 10.43.0.0/16) Question: Is it supported/recommended to have multiple IPSec Site Connections under a single VPN Service? I understand this creates multiple tunnels from the same OpenStack router to different remote peers. Current Issue: One of my connections shows "PENDING_CREATE" status while the other is "ACTIVE". I'm trying to determine if this is: A configuration issue on my end A limitation of having multiple tunnels per VPN service A strongSwan-specific behavior in the OpenStack context Specific Questions: Does VPNaaS officially support multiple IPSec connections per VPN Service? Are there any known limitations or best practices when using multiple tunnels? Should each remote site have its own dedicated VPN Service instead? I've checked the documentation but couldn't find clear guidance on multi-tunnel scenarios. Any insights from the community would be greatly appreciated. Environment: OpenStack version: 2024.2 Dalmatian Neutron VPNaaS with strongSwan backend Kubernetes-deployed OpenStack (OpenStack-Helm) Waiting for your reply, Thank you for your time and assistance! Best regards, Shubham

[heat][mistral][tc] Status of ply
by Takashi Kajinami 19 Sep '25

19 Sep '25

Hi, As you might know, some of the OpenStack projects, heat and mistral, use yaql to support flexible user input. The yaql library has been tiny and stable, thanks to the ply[1] library which is the python-written implementation of lex and yacc . However, it was declared that no further release of ply is planned[2] and the author now suggests copying it into the project[3]. The old released version has been working so far, but I'm unsure if it could survive through recent drastic changes in python package tooling. Looking at the code, it seems all codes are tagged with BSD 3-clause license[3] though the repository lacks the LICENSE file. I guess that the easiest approach is to import the codes to somewhere within yaql (like yaql._ply) and use the imported codes, with a note explaining these codes are imported from ply. This follows the suggestion by the author, but I'd like to get some guidance from TC to make sure it won't break the whole license expectation. An alternative approach is to implement our own parser, though I'm not too sure if that's feasible at least from my PoV. If we want this approach, then we need actual volunteer for it who will immediately start working on it. If neither of the two options above work, we might end up removing yaql functionality completely from OpenStack. AFAIK the one in heat was added for TripleO which was already retired so the impact may be limited, while for mistral removal could have lager impact. Thank you, Takashi [1] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply [2] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply?tab=readme-ov-file#important-notice---october… [3] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply?tab=readme-ov-file#questions-and-answers [4] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply/blob/master/src/ply/lex.py#L10-L33 -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit
