[kolla] Proposing Bertrand Lanson for kolla-reviewers
by Michał Nasiadka 12 Mar '26

12 Mar '26

Hello, I’d like to propose Bertrand (blanson) for being a member of the new kolla-reviewers group in Gerrit. That group is a step entry into being a core member of the project - gives +2 right without workflow. Bertrand has been very active in both code submissions and reviews and has solved some of the Podman issues that we have. If nobody opposes - I’ll add Bertrand in a week from now. Cheers, Michal

[requirements][horizon] Requirements freeze exception request
by Radomir Dopieralski 11 Mar '26

11 Mar '26

Hello, I would like to request a requirements freeze exception to bump the version of Django from 4.2.28 to 5.2.12. It is important for Horizon to ship with a version of Django that is security supported, and the security support for Django 4.2.8 ends next month. Django 5.2.12 is a long-term-support release, and will have security support for the next two years [1]. We have been working on making Horizon compatible with Django 5.2 in this release, but the disruption of the gates and the distractions caused by it in the last few weeks prevented us from getting the relevant patches merged on time for the freeze [2]. The patch for requirements is [3] [1] https://endoflife.date/django [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/horizon/+/973902 [3] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/979862 -- Radomir Dopieralski

[oslo] Proposal to add Ghanshyam Maan as core team
by Daniel Mats Niklas Bengtsson 11 Mar '26

11 Mar '26

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I would like to propose adding Ghanshyam Maan to the oslo core team. Ghanshyam has been actively contributing to the Oslo libraries for some time. He regularly participates in technical discussions, including work around multiprocessing, provides thoughtful and constructive code reviews, and has contributed several solid patches. He is also currently serving as the TACT-SIG liaison and has offered to take on the role of release liaison as well. His consistent involvement in reviews and project discussions demonstrates a strong commitment to the Oslo projects and to the OpenStack community. I believe he would be a great addition to the oslo core team. Please reply with your votes (+1 / 0 / -1). The vote will remain open for one week.

[cinder][ops] Migrate volume backend from decommissioned node
by Isaac Vicente 11 Mar '26

11 Mar '26

Hello all, In the past week I've added a new controller and decommissioned an old one, following the official documentation [1], and I wrote a version of my own [2], specific to my environment. In the section "Removing existing controllers", it's necessary to move agents and remove services of the node that will be decommissioned. So far so good, until I realize that a volume has the following property: os-vol-host-attr:host: <old_node>@rbd-1#rbd-1 It means that this volume is still on the backend of the removed node. So I tried to migrate it to another backend, and the migration status is "starting" for a long time. In the cinder-scheduler logs: WARNING cinder.scheduler.host_manager volume service is down. (host: <old_node>@rbd-1) To me, the migration stays in this status because the proper backend is down. To mention, I'm using Ceph as cinder backend. Also, there's no mention of the volume being migrated on other controller nodes. Is there any method to migrate all volumes of this backend without needing to re-deploy the old controller? Versions: - Openstack: caracal (2024.1) - OS: Ubuntu 22.04 - kolla-ansible: 18.8.1 [1] https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/user/adding-and-removing-ho… [2] https://isaacvicente.github.io/posts/replacing-control-nodes-with-kolla-ans…

Ideas to improve contributor and maintainer experience
by Ildiko Vancsa 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Hi OpenStack Community, I’m reaching out to you about some next steps after the metrics and survey analysis for the Flamingo cycle. As we’ve been diving into data[1] and feedback[2] to better understand challenges that contributors and maintainers in OpenStack are facing, we reached the stage to start working with teams on improvement ideas. A few challenges stood out for us, like mismatched expectations caused by incomplete communication or silence, or inconsistencies in where maintainers track priorities and progress and where contributors look for this information. While more people to do reviews and maintenance work is always in need, clear and proactive communication practices can improve maintainer and contributor experience across the board. Below is a summary of the key ideas that Jeremy started to share with teams, to start experimenting with: 1. Make Review Priorities Explicit, and Don’t Forget to Keep Them Up to Date While many teams already document and publicize their review priorities and decision-making processes, the last survey round showed that contributors are often not aware of where to look for this information. Since there’s no single entry point into the community, mentioning the processes and pointing at resources is often helpful, like linking to priority criteria in review comments so contributors understand where their change fits and how they can engage in reprioritization discussions. Transparency here reduces uncertainty and helps contributors plan effectively. In addition, even when a team has a clear process to define, document and track priorities, information can get lost between release cycles. Adding it to the end-of-release tasks to update progress on ongoing items and deal with the ones that didn’t conclude in the cycle ending can improve contributor experience and help with more accurate planning for the upcoming cycle. This also means to check on the incomplete items at the start of the next release cycle and factor in that ongoing work when calculating bandwidth and availability. 2. Proactively Communicate Reviewer Availability It’s very easy to assume that project maintainers are available to do reviews full time, even more seasoned contributors make this mistake from time to time. Clear communication can ease the pressure on maintainers. This can include signals about reviewer bandwidth, upcoming absences, or looking for people who can take on ongoing reviews for some time can significantly reduce ambiguity. When contributors understand expected wait times—and are encouraged to share their own availability—coordination improves and stalled reviews can decrease. 3. Use Clear, Accessible Language Given that English is not the primary language for much of our community, we should avoid excessive acronyms and team-specific jargon. Clear, plain language lowers barriers to entry and reduces avoidable misunderstandings. It also helps new and casual contributors to feel more included and can increase the probability of them sticking around. 4. Develop Contributor and Reviewer Checklists Once the release cycle gets busy, it’s easy to forget about some of the above mentioned new practices before they become a habit. To help overcome that, we are also working on simple checklists to guide reviewers when leaving comments on new or in-progress changes. These will serve as lightweight guardrails for both new and experienced contributors and maintainers to further improve efficiency without added complication or burden. 5. Provide Reusable Review Templates Some of the above practices can result in broader comments in reviews, which can feel like a burden to reviewers and maintainers. We are working on creating response templates for common review scenarios, which you can fine tune for your project and context and then copy and paste into ongoing reviews where applicable. Templates can increase efficiency while reducing the time spent on phrasing review comments and making sure all useful information and resources are shared. Some teams have already been following this practice, which we will use as inspiration. You can also think about templates as a way to get through your review checklist quicker. 6. Publish Case Studies of Successful Contribution Models and Practices Some project teams seem to handle pressure and incoming load better than others, which can serve as inspiration for others to figure out what practices and methods to implement. This also applies to companies who have their employees working upstream, as in some having better practices to support their people than others. We aim to collaborate with teams and companies and teams alike to capture practices that yield better productivity without burnout. Documenting what works as case studies can help project teams and companies to understand how to implement practices in their own context. While we work on refining improvement ideas and sharing additional details we welcome your feedback and help to let us know what worked for you, and what practice didn’t produce the outcome or improvement you and your team hoped for. Some project teams are also experimenting with AI, to use it to speed up code reviews and navigate their tasks easier and more efficiently. While these practices are not yet ready to share widely as standards, OpenInfra community managers are curious to learn about your experience so far! We will schedule a session for the upcoming PTG[3] in April to discuss ideas and next steps further.

[openstack][neutron][ovn]Cannot ping VIP without disable port security
by Nguyễn Hữu Khôi 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Hello, I am setting up HA OPNsense on OpenStack, and here are the steps I followed. I successfully configured CARP between two firewall instances, but from a PC in the same subnet as the VIP, I cannot ping the VIP address. When I capture traffic on the master firewall, I can see the ARP request and reply, but on my PC I do not see any reply packets. I have also configured allowed_address_pairs with the VIP address on the member ports, but the VIP only responds when I disable port security. Additionally, I created a port with the VIP address and assigned a floating IP to it. However, it does not work unless I *disable the port admin state*. When I repeatedly refresh the browser (press F5 many times), the traffic is redirected between the two firewall members, which means the connection does not remain persistent on the CARP master. Is there any additional configuration required in OpenStack (Neutron / OVN) to properly support CARP VIPs without disabling port security? Thank you for your assistance. Nguyen Huu Khoi

[Nova][Vms]Persistent I/O Errors in RBD-backed Instances After Compute Node Failure
by Thamanna Farhath 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Hello, We are currently investigating an issue related to OpenStack (2023.1) instances using Ceph RBD storage. However, after further testing in a lab environment we observed that the problem occurs specifically when a compute node goes down or reboots unexpectedly. In this situation, the instances that were running on the affected compute node later experience persistent I/O errors inside the guest OS, even after the compute node comes back online, the instance is usually in a SHUTOFF state, and when we try to start it again, the same I/O errors appear inside the guest. We also attempted instance evacuation to another compute node, but the evacuated instance still shows the same I/O errors inside the guest. We would like to understand the recommended approach in such cases: • What is the best practice to recover RBD-backed instances after a compute node failure when persistent I/O errors appear inside the guest? • Are there any recommended configurations or operational procedures in OpenStack or Ceph to prevent or mitigate this situation? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2026.1/R-3)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Hello Stackers, We're three weeks away from the date of the coordinated release of OpenStack 2026.1 "Gazpacho" [1]. At the end of this week, all deliverables following the "cycle-with-rc" release model [2] will have published a release candidate. This should assist the community in testing, finding, and patching any release-critical issues for a timely release on April 01, 2026. Looking ahead into the 2026.2 "Hibiscus" release cycle, the OpenStack Technical Committee has updated testing runtimes [3]. We are strongly recommending testing all Python deliverables shipping in the Hibiscus release with Python 3.14; although the common CI template for unit testing will run the job as "non-voting". When we have an operating system available that ships Python 3.14 natively (such as the impending Ubuntu 26.04 LTS), test jobs are expected to become smoother and require less time and resources. PTL Elections are ongoing for Horizon and Barbican [4]. If you are an Active Project Contributor (and an OpenInfra Foundation Individual Member) who hasn't voted yet, please do exercise your vote. If you're having trouble finding your ballot, please reach out to election officials via this email list or ping them within #openstack-election on OFTC. I'd like to congratulate our latest Outreachy Intern, Rose Kimondo, for successfully completing her internship with the OpenStack Manila and Horizon project teams [5]. Rose worked on significant improvements to Manila UI, and Carlos Eduardo da Silva (carloss) and I had the pleasure of mentoring her. If you are aware of opportunities that would retain Rose in our community, please reach out directly to her. === Weekly Meeting === The TC has officially re-formed for the 2026.2 cycle, and our last weekly IRC meeting was held on March 03, 2026 [6]. Our immediate focus was establishing a steady administrative foundation. We'll be electing a new Chair, refreshing our liaisons for the Vulnerability Management, Election and DPL teams, and auditing our weekly meeting time to account for upcoming Daylight Saving Time changes in some parts of the world. Beyond these logistics, we discussed ongoing CI breakages in the requirements repository related to setuptools pinning and a particularly thorny issue where an abandoned dependency is currently blocking Horizon translations [7]. We also discussed "leaderless" project teams. For projects like Masakari, which shows promise in the current market conditions (such as VMware-to-OpenStack migrations), we are exploring a transition to the Distributed Project Leadership (DPL) model to spread the governance load among active contributors. Projects like Vitrage and Venus have seen prolonged inactivity without clear revival interest; we are moving toward their formal retirement. This serves our broader objective of directing community energy toward projects that demonstrate both active maintenance and clear future utility, rather than maintaining technical debt. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is today, March 10, 2026, at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted on the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please see the agenda on the meeting's wiki page [8]. I hope to see you there. === Upcoming Events === - 2026-03-10: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2026-03-12: 2026.1 "Gazpacho" Release Candidates due - 2026-03-23: KubeCon+CloudNativeCon EU begins: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe/ - 2026-04-20: OpenInfra PTG begins: https://openinfra.org/ptg/ - 2026-04-25: OpenInfra Days, Nigeria: https://www.meetup.com/openstack-nigeria-user-group/events/313525373/ Thank you very much for reading!

[puppet][tc] Future of the project
by Takashi Kajinami 09 Mar '26

09 Mar '26

I had similar discussions earlier in #puppet-openstack several times, but I think it's time to start more formal discussions. As some of you may know, Puppet OpenStack project has been facing several challenges for a few years due to the changes made in the external but related communities, and very honestly speaking, the project is at risk. IMO we have two major challenges now. - RDO officially announced that they discontinue RPM builds and focus on new container-base delivery, based on source-to-build. https://lists.rdoproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.rdoproject.org/threa… Because the primary (and only) architecture we currently support is installation from packages, this means CentOS Stream may no longer be in our support scope. CentOS Stream + RDO has been the primary (and only voting) test architecture because it provides the trunk packages which allow us to test the latest code in development. We could technically switch our primary test architecture to the other platforms like Ubuntu or Debian but this means we can't release our modules in coordinated release timings (because we can implement and test the changes for a new version only after the version is released by these distributions) As we've seen some drastic changes triggered by some initiatives (like eventlet removal) and expect more coming soon, this "lagging-behind" development models can cause several problems like [1]. [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/puppet-neutron/+/978000 - The upstream puppet has been "dead" after Perforce (who acquired puppetlabs) changed their strategies. OpenVox was created as a fork of puppet, but there are number of core modules such as puppetlabs-apache or puppetlabs-mysql which are not yet forked. I've asked possibility to fork and host these in OpenVox but it was not acceptable due to limited resources the OpenVox community and no real commitment (more specifically speaking, sponsorship) I can provide. There are some works done earlier to replace puppet by OpenVox but it is essentially blocked by the fixes needed in these "abandoned" puppetlabs modules. In addtion, we need to bump versions of our testing platform soon, and I expect these unmaintained modules cause new problems. As afar as I'm aware of, migration to CentOS 10 is completely blocked by "unmaintained puppetlabs-mysql[2], and I expect more for migration to Ubuntu 26.04 or Debian 14 we need in upcoming cycles. [2] https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mysql/issues/1676 So... The situation is getting out of my control and I'd admit that I may soon terminate the project in case the situation is not improved, given my work in the OpenStack community has been all voluntary-based these days. I intend to continue my PTL role of this project for next cycle, so that I can help anyone who would be interested in sustaining the project, but I hope that we get some conclusion and agreement about the future project direction and maintenance during this cycle. Please reply to this in thread or reach me directly (in email or irc) if you are interested in further discussions. Thank you, Takashi -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit

[keystone] App Credential reactivation after reconnection is not immediate
by Vincent Godin 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

If you create a 24-hour credential application with a non-local user who has a 2-hour time-to-live (default_authorization_ttl), after 2 hours the TTL resets to 0 and the credential application stops working, which is expected. If the user logs back in, there's a waiting period before the credential application becomes functional again, and the same applies if the user want to create a new credential application. I've noticed that if the user leaves a group with member privileges, for example, their app credentials are immediately invalidated. The same behavior should occur when the user logs back in after the TTL expires.

[Nova][vms]Preventing VM I/O Errors When Ceph OSD Nodes Go Down
by Thamanna Farhath 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

Dear Community, We are running OpenStack 2023.1 with Ceph as the backend storage on a 3-node deployment. Recently, we faced a scenario where two of our servers became unresponsive (hung state), and we had to reboot them. During this time, VMs running on the affected compute node started reporting I/O errors inside the guest OS, such as: [ 33.911093] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 229880 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 2 prio class 0 [ 33.914953] Buffer I/O error on dev vda1, logical block 319, lost async page write [ 33.914953] Buffer I/O error on dev vda1, logical block 320, lost async page write [ 33.927594] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 229904 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 2 prio class 0 It appears that when Ceph becomes unavailable (or quorum is lost), the VMs continue attempting writes, which results in I/O errors at the guest OS level. Our goal: We would like to prevent guest filesystem corruption or I/O errors when Ceph is down. Ideally, we want to: Pause or block writes from active VMs when Ceph storage is unavailable Avoid guest OS filesystem corruption Ensure safer recovery when Ceph services are restored Disclaimer : The content of this email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.

Re: Update on RDO: A Shift to Containers
by Jose Castro Leon 07 Mar '26

07 Mar '26

We are also heavily affected by this change, as all our deployments at CERN rely on it. Moreover, we are early adopters of RDO and now that we are getting into Epoxy release, it just slips away. The deployment model is not something you can easily change. Does it also mean that our el10 users may never have client libraries packaged to use our setups? And following Massimo remark, will the repo be maintained while it's still in supported status in OpenStack? If not, are you implying that we also need to repackage future security updates?

[release] Release countdown for week R-3
by Thierry Carrez 06 Mar '26

06 Mar '26

Development Focus ----------------- The Release Candidate (RC) deadline is next Thursday, March 12th, 2026. Work should be focused on fixing any release-critical bugs. General Information ------------------- All deliverables released under a cycle-with-rc model should have a first release candidate by the end of the week, from which a stable/2026.1 branch will be cut. This branch will track the 2026.1 "Gazpacho" release. Once stable/2026.1 has been created, the master branch will be ready to switch to 2026.2 "Hibiscus" development. While the master branch will no longer be feature-frozen, please prioritize any work necessary for completing 2026.1 "Gazpacho" plans. Release-critical bugfixes will need to be merged in the master branch first, then backported to the stable/2026.1 branch before a new release candidate can be proposed. Actions ------- Early in the week, the release team will be proposing RC1 patches for all cycle-with-rc projects, using the latest commit from the master branch. If your team is ready to go for cutting RC1, please let us know by leaving a +1 on these patches. If there are still a few more patches needed before RC1, you can -1 the patch and update it later in the week with the new commit hash you would like to use. Remember, stable/2026.1 branches will be created with this, so you will want to make sure you have what you need included to avoid needing to backport changes from the master branch (which will technically then be 2026.2 "Hibiscus") to this stable branch for any additional RCs before the final release. The release team will also be proposing releases for any deliverable following a cycle-with-intermediary model that has not produced any 2026.1 Gazpacho release so far. Finally, now is a good time to finalize release highlights. Release highlights help shape the messaging around the release and make sure that your work is properly represented. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- RC1 deadline: March 12th, 2026 (R-3 week) Final RC deadline: March 26th, 2026 (R-1 week) Final 2026.1 "Gazpacho" release: April 1st, 2026 2026.2 "Hibiscus" (virtual) PTG: April 20-24, 2026 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[kolla-ansible][flamingo][horizon] Network creation problem
by Franck VEDEL (UGA) 06 Mar '26

06 Mar '26

Hello everyone, I have a production OpenStack cluster for ESM students running Epoxy, deployed with Kolla-Ansible, and everything is working perfectly. I’m very satisfied with this setup. To prepare for upgrades, I set up a new test cluster in parallel using Kolla-Ansible, but this time with Flamingo. Everything seemed fine until I tried to create a network and its subnet in Horizon. The network is created, but no availability zone is associated with it. As a result, I cannot launch instances on this network. Could this be a change in the new OpenStack installation process that I missed? Or is this a bug? This is the first time I’ve encountered this issue. Is there a parameter that needs to be added in the Horizon override file (_9999-custom-settings.py) to handle this? Thanks in advance for any guidance. Franck VEDEL

testresources broken with latest fixtures
by Thomas Goirand 06 Mar '26

06 Mar '26

Hi, In its last version of fixtures, the tests folder has been move one directory up. Trying to rebuild testresources, it fails with: ERROR: unittest.loader._FailedTest.testresources.tests.test_test_resource ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError: Failed to import test module: testresources.tests.test_test_resource Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.13/unittest/loader.py", line 396, in _find_test_path module = self._get_module_from_name(name) File "/usr/lib/python3.13/unittest/loader.py", line 339, in _get_module_from_name __import__(name) ~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ File "/build/testresources-nCTnwj/testresources-2.0.2/testresources/tests/test_test_resource.py", line 18, in <module> from fixtures.tests.helpers import LoggingFixture ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fixtures.tests' This isn't seen downstream, as it's still possible to run latest versions of both fixtures and testresources, only testresources unit testing is broken with lastest fixtures, but I don't think it creates any issue for the users of these 2 libs. However, on the distro level, I'm not sure how to fix this... :/ Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[neutron] multicast and allowed address pairs
by Bence Romsics 06 Mar '26

06 Mar '26

Hi Neutrinos, We have a user who discovered that two neutron backends behave differently when it comes to handling multicast traffic. This user runs servers that need multicast for VRRP coordination (the point is multicast, not VRRP). They discovered that with the (no longer upstream supported) OpenDaylight backend, they need to let the multicast traffic through with an allowed address pair. On the other hand, the ml2/ovs backend (here always assuming the ovs firewall driver) allows the multicast traffic by default. If you add the same allowed address pair (for example: {'mac_address': '01:00:5e:00:00:64', 'ip_address': '224.0.0.100'}) as with OpenDaylight, it actually breaks multicast traffic. The traffic breaks even on other servers, affected by the same set of flows installed by ovs-agent. My question is: which backend behaves correctly? And do we need to change anything upstream? Since I found the following upstream history... https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron/src/branch/master/doc/source/admin/co… https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1889631 ... I believe that ml2/ovs (with the ovs fw driver) behaves correctly when it lets the multicast traffic through by default. However I believe it is a bug that the traffic breaks when the user adds the allowed address pair. But I think it would be pretty pointless to start fixing the traffic itself since we would need to make changes for no effect. Rather we could reject allowed address pairs with multicast IPs/MAC addresses, because that would call the attention of the user that multicast traffic is already handled at a different place (that is the default behavior of the fw driver). I also believe that the OpenDaylight driver is buggy when it does not let the multicast traffic through just like ml2/ovs does. However this is not an upstream problem anymore, since networking-odl is long deprecated. Do you agree in the judgement where the bugs are in this case? The possible upstream change: Do you think we should start rejecting allowed address pairs with multicast IPs/MAC addresses? Plus I guess a doc update for allowed address pairs api-ref is due... If needed, I'm happy to bring this to the drivers meeting. It's 100% that I could attend next Friday (6th of March) and 80% for this Friday (27th of February). Thanks, Bence

[Nova][Tacker][Issue Investigation] API Schema Inconsistency in Nova Microversion 2.100 - Impacting Tacker CI Jobs
by Shivam Shukla 05 Mar '26

05 Mar '26

Hi Nova Team, We are currently facing an issue in Tacker (master branch) caused by a bug in Nova microversion 2.100, where scheduler_hints.group is returned as a list instead of a string in the server GET API response. Problem Statement: The server GET API (microversion 2.100) returns scheduler_hints.group as a list, whereas the API schema requires it to be a string UUID. This type mismatch causes server rebuild operations to fail with a 400 Bad Request error. Root Cause: Nova stores scheduler hints internally using DictOfListOfStringsField, so all values are kept as lists. When microversion 2.100 exposes scheduler hints in the API response, the group field is returned in its raw internal form without being converted back to the string format required by the API spec. Impact: This bug is causing test case failures in Tacker CI jobs, making our pipeline unstable. Detailed information about the bug can be found in the reports linked below: Nova Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2139275 We'd appreciate your help in reviewing and fixing this bug at the earliest, as it is actively impacting Tacker CI stability. Please let us know if you need any additional details from our side. Thanks in advance for your support!

[requirements][horizon] Requirements freeze exception for XStatic-Font-Awesome
by Tatiana Ovchinnikova 05 Mar '26

Hello, I would like to request a requirements freeze exception to unpin XStatic-Font-Awesome and bump it from 4.7.0.0 to 6.2.1.2 [1]. This version doesn't use pkg_resources in build. From Horizon side we have worked around the required changes to use newer versions of the font [2], and after the requirements upgrade to 6.2 the hack can be safely removed.

[requirements][horizon] Requirements freeze exception for selenium
by Tatiana Ovchinnikova 05 Mar '26

05 Mar '26

Hello, I would like to request a requirements freeze exception to unpin Selenium and bump it from 3.141.0 to 4.41.0 [1]. Selenium 3.141.0 no longer works with modern urllib3. It needs to be updated to ensure compatibility with other libraries like urllib3. All required work has been done from Horizon side [2].

[requirements][sdk] Requirements freeze exception for 'testtools'
by Stephen Finucane 04 Mar '26

04 Mar '26

o/ I would like to request a requirements freeze exception to bump `testtools` from 2.8.4 to 2.8.5, as proposed here [1]. testtools 2.8.5 includes a small type hint fix [2] that resolves pep8 failures currently seen in the gates of a number of SDK deliverables [3][4][5]. It carries effectively zero risk and bumping it would be both easier and safer than updating the affected projects across both master and stable/2026.1 to add `type: ignore` comments or disable the check.

[neutron] OVN version used in the functional gate job
by Jakub Libosvar 04 Mar '26

04 Mar '26

Hi all, I wanted to bring this topic up for a discussion again. I’ve been working on a Neutron feature [1] for some time, the feature requires the BGP support in OVN. The functional job currently uses a moving OVN branch based on the OVN LTS version - which is 24.03 - almost 2 years old. I tried to change this and requested a patch to switch to using a pinned OVN mostly for two benefits: - we won’t get gate broken if a bad patch is backported to the branch-24.03 - I get the BGP features needed for the work on [1] The patch was denied to keep the policy we set on ourselves - ie. to go with the branch based on the OVN LTS version. The workaround was to skip multiple tests that rely on the OVN changes specific to BGP. This is not ideal as now majority of the functionality is not tested and we’re just waiting for the LTS release, which may bring some surprises. This was a concrete example but if we put it into a more general situation, in Neutron we heavily rely on OVN and its features and any development of a potential feature that requires some work in OVN gets cumbersome because we can’t validate our code against OVN until the point a next OVN LTS version is released, which in the worst case scenario can take up to 2 years. Hence I propose a change and use a pinned hash from the OVN tree that is updated on two occasions: - A next OVN version is released (non-LTS) - We’re developing a feature that relies on bleeding edge OVN - then we pick a good hash and pin to it in the functional job definition (not in the scripts) This would apply solely to the functional tests because tempest jobs can define their own OVN version and unit tests should be isolated from the used OVN version, and only to the master branch - because that is the development branch after all. Such a change brings multiple benefits, we won’t need to skip tests if the required functionality is not present in current OVN version and have the development go smoother. We may uncover issues in OVN early. We will not get a broken gate if a change containing a bug is backported to OVN stable branch. At this point I can’t see any benefit of using the moving LTS branch, but if there is one please bring it up here. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Kuba [1] https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron-specs/src/branch/master/specs/2025.2/… [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/961243

[election][barbican] PTL Candidacy for the 2026.2 Release Cycle
by Mauricio Harley 04 Mar '26

04 Mar '26

Hi, everyone. I would like to continue serving as PTL for Barbican during the 2026.2 cycle. Over the past cycle, I worked to keep the project healthy and aligned with OpenStack's evolving standards. Key achievements include dropping the unmaintained repoze.profile dependency, adopting oslo.middleware's common RequestId implementation, fixing CI nodeset configurations for the Dogtag functional tests, and maintaining release notes across stable branches. I have also ensured alignment with upstream tooling and supported ongoing maintenance across barbican-ui, barbican-tempest-plugin, and openstack-ansible-os_barbican. As the current PTL, I am familiar with the project's codebase, its integration points with other OpenStack services, and our operator community's needs. I am committed to continuing this work, ensuring Barbican remains a reliable secrets management solution, and fostering collaboration with contributors and downstream consumers. I respectfully ask for your support in the upcoming election. Maurício Harley (mharley)

[Nova][vms]Preventing VM I/O Errors When Ceph OSD Nodes Go Down
by Thamanna Farhath 03 Mar '26

03 Mar '26

Dear Community, We are running OpenStack 2023.1 with a 3-node Ceph cluster. Recently, one Ceph nodes became unresponsive, resulting in quorum loss., VMs experienced I/O errors as expected. [ 33.911093] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 229880 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 2 prio class 0 [ 33.914953] Buffer I/O error on dev vda1, logical block 319, lost async page write [ 33.914953] Buffer I/O error on dev vda1, logical block 320, lost async page write [ 33.927594] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 229904 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 2 prio class 0 We understand this behavior is by design and that Nova does not automatically act based on Ceph health. However, our concern is recovery. In some cases, simply rebooting the VM is not sufficient, and I/O errors persist even after Ceph regains quorum. What is the recommended best practice to safely recover RBD-backed instances in such scenarios? How can we retrieve and restore affected VMs while minimizing filesystem corruption?

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2026.1/R-4)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 03 Mar '26

03 Mar '26

Hello Stackers, We're four weeks away from the date of the coordinated release of OpenStack 2026.1 "Gazpacho" [1]. We're past feature freeze at this point, and project teams are expected to be busy finding and fixing bugs in order to ship our first release candidates in the next couple of weeks. In the past week, five seats on the OpenStack Technical Committee were renewed [2]. I'd like to thank Artem Goncharov (gtema) for the years he spent on the TC. He brought unique perspectives as the PTL of several projects. I'd also like to congratulate Amy Marrich (spotz), Dmitriy Robotyegov (noonedeadpunk), and Dan Smith (dansmith) for being re-elected to the TC. Elections are underway for new PTLs for the Barbican and Horizon project teams. No new governance proposals were merged in the last week. As we wrap up this release cycle, the TC's focus will switch to ensuring a smooth transition between project leaders, filling vacant governance positions within projects, renewing liaisons for cross-project work, and finalizing the tested runtimes for the upcoming release cycle [3]. === Weekly Meeting === The last meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee was hosted on February 24, 2026, in the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC [4]. We had a candid discussion regarding the size of the TC relative to the community; while there is an argument for shrinking the committee to match candidate interest, our stance is that our workload remains high, and a smaller group would struggle to maintain the necessary oversight without burning out. We took a moment to thank gtema as he ends his term; his expertise in Keystone and the OpenStack SDK has been invaluable, and while he is stepping down from the TC, his "healthy frustration" with bureaucracy will no doubt continue to drive improvements across the projects he leads. We then began our work on stabilizing "leaderless" teams. We noted that Oslo requires a dedicated release liaison to keep our foundational libraries moving. We are hoping that more individuals from the core maintainer team for Oslo participate in the project's formal governance. We discussed a PTL nomination that was blocked due to contribution requirements. The committee seemed supportive of changing how we define contribution. We are going to explore a TC charter change to grant Active Contributor (AC) status to consistent reviewers (+2/+3), recognizing that the "unseen" work of code review is just as vital to project health as code changes themselves. Regarding the gate, a massive update to upper-constraints merged this week, touching over 140 non-OpenStack dependencies. Across project teams, the immediate priority was "de-borking" stable branches due to these changes and monitoring for regressions on the "master" branches to ensure the 2026.1 release remains stable. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is today, March 3, 2026. This meeting will be hosted in the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. Please find the agenda on the meeting's wiki page [5]. I hope to see you there. === Upcoming Events === - 2026-03-10: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2026-03-12: 2026.1 "Gazpacho" Release Candidates due - 2026-03-23: KubeCon+Cloud Native Con EU begins: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe/ - 2026-04-20: OpenInfra PTG begins: https://openinfra.org/ptg/ Thank you very much for reading!
