[nova][elections][ptl] Leaving my seat
by Sylvain Bauza 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hey Nova-ers That's a bit bittersweet but after running as a Nova PTL for 7 cycles, I preferred to leave this seat as I no longer have a lot of time for this. I'll continue to be around and I'll help our next PTL for sure :-) Thanks and see you at the PTG anyway :-) -Sylvain

[nova][elections][ptl] Application for the PTL role
by René Ribaud 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hello, I would like to run for the PTL election for Nova and Placement. I am fortunate to be employed by Red Hat to work on this project, and I have been doing so for about three years. This means I am quite familiar with the project's processes and codebase, though I wouldn’t call myself an expert. To be honest, I initially thought of becoming a core member before running for this election. However, knowing that Sylvain wants to step down, and after discussing it with him and other members of the community, I realized that becoming PTL, while challenging, is a viable path and a great opportunity. I know this role will push me out of my comfort zone and require me to work on areas where I have less experience. But I believe that sometimes, growth comes from facing new challenges. So, I took a deep breath and decided to write this message. Regarding the future of the project, my goal is not to revolutionize anything. I believe I will need some time to find my footing, and I will do my best to continue in the direction that Sylvain has set. It won’t always be easy, but I trust in the kindness of those involved in this project to support me. I also rely on Sylvain’s mentoring, as he proposed during his candidacy, to ensure a smooth transition. One aspect I intend to be particularly mindful of is supporting contributors in getting their code merged. Having recently merged a major feature (virtiofs) that I carried for a long time, I know how difficult and demanding the process can be—it requires a lot of resilience. That’s why I'll pay attention to making this process smoother and support contributors as effectively as I can. Thanks, René

Hello ironicers! It's been a pleasure and an honor to serve as PTL for 2 cycles. I've decided to not be a candidate for the next cycle, mainly because of time constraints. Huge thanks to the community for having me, I hope in the future I'll be able to repeat the experience. Ciao! Riccardo #irc rpittau

Building kolla-ansible in china region
by Satish Patel 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Folks, I am trying to build kolla-ansible in China but somehow my docker repository not accessible. I understand geo location and the great firewall. Does anyone know if there is any local china repo or docker hub which I can use in that region to build the openstack. # docker run -d --network host --name registry --restart=always -e REGISTRY_HTTP_ADDR=0.0.0.0:4000 -v registry:/var/lib/registry registry:2 Unable to find image 'registry:2' locally docker: Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers). See 'docker run --help'.

[deployment] Is there a ranked list of automated deployment technologies (based on production usage)?
by Jordan Olin (OLINSolutions) 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hello, I’m trying to narrow my deployment focus on the most commonly used OpenStack automated deployment technologies/approaches. Does a ranked list or previous recent survey exist of currently available deployment automation solutions? If not, what is the correct approach for me to take to collect something like this?

[openstack-ansible] Relocate ceph-mons to new hosts and decouple Ceph from openstack-ansible
by Jan Marquardt 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hi, We run a cluster with ~15 compute hosts and ~25 Ceph nodes. Everything was initially deployed with openstack-ansible. For some reasons we would like to decouple Ceph from openstack-ansbile and therefore move the ceph-mon containers to dedicated hosts. - Moving the containers seems straightforward, but how do we tell openstack-ansible that the containers are gone and that it can’t use the ip addresses anymore for other purposes? - How do we tell openstack-ansible which keyrings it has to deploy on compute hosts? Any recommendations? Has anyone done this before? Can you think of anything else that should be considered? Thanks in advance and best regards Jan

[Neutron] [FeatureRequest] Port AllowedIPs Subnet-Pool extension
by Justin Lamp 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hey there, I'd like to propose a feature to allow subnets to be added to Neutron ports and be allocated from a subnet-pool. We would have a couple of use cases for this. Please correct me if I am wrong, but right now we do not have a method to route a subnet to a VM without adding many fixed-ips from the subnet the VM is residing in. This is highly undesirable for us as our use case would be with Kubernetes. We'd like to be able to allocate a IPv6 subnet for every Kubernetes Node, so that every pod can get a fully routed v6 address without resorting to NAT. While searching the mailing list for IPv6 in general I found another person having a similar inquiry. In his case he wanted a subnet to use for his VPN-VM. This is also something we want to address and provide to our customers at some point. This is why I would like to propose that AllowedIP subnets can be created based on subnet pools, making it possible to route them externally. This will also make it possible for something like the OVN-BGP-Agent to expose them via BGP. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

[tc][election] TC election Non-Candidacy
by Sławek Kapłoński 06 Feb '25

06 Feb '25

Hi, It's been 3 years for me already to be part of the OpenStack Technical Committee and as my 3rd cadence is getting to the end now, I just want to let You all know that I am not going to candidate again. This was a pleasure and great experience for me to be part of the TC for such a long time and I am really grateful that I was elected to serve in that role. But now I think it is time to give this place back to someone new who will bring fresh ideas to the TC. I will still be around and happy to help if needed of course. -- Slawek Kaplonski Principal Software Engineer Red Hat
