[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-21)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hello Stackers, Thanks to all moderators and volunteers for compiling virtual PTG notes and sharing summaries through this mailing list. A lot of exciting work seems to be tracked through the action items from these summaries. I hope you were able to review the TC's PTG summary [1]. Next week is milestone-1 of the 2025.1 "Epoxy" release cycle [2]. This is typically a bug-targeting milestone for project teams. The following is a summary of this past week's happenings within the OpenStack Technical Committee. === Weekly Meeting === During the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee met over IRC [3]. We followed up on action items from weeks preceding the Project Teams Gathering. We finalized PTL and DPL appointments for the "mistral" and "watcher" project teams. We spent some time reviewing action items related to translating documentation and user strings within OpenStack services. Automated jobs posting translation updates from Zanata are broken due to incompatibility with newer Python versions. Migration to Weblate remains a priority and the i18n team may require more support to complete this migration. We're collaborating over IRC to identify the needs and next steps. The TC also discussed progress on the community goal to migrate integration testing to Python 3.12 and to the latest LTS version of the operating system used in DevStack test jobs. Like me, you may have wondered why we’re combining these efforts. The reason is that it allows us to have a simpler test matrix despite the number of Python versions and OS distributions that OpenStack software is tested with. While we maintain unit test jobs for each supported Python version, it is impractical to duplicate each integration job for every OS distribution available. Therefore, we choose the latest LTS (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04 LTS / "Noble Numbat"), which includes the upper bound of the supported Python versions (Python 3.12). Additionally, each project will have at least one test job for the minimum supported Python version (Python 3.9), so you'll see a test job for the previous LTS release of the OS that will begin in this release and continue running as it transitions to a "stable" release branch. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is on 2024-11-05 (today) at 1800 UTC. This is our monthly video meeting too! This meeting will occur simultaneously on Video (Zoom) and IRC (OFTC's #openstack-tc channel). Allison Price (aprice) and Jimmy McArthur (jimmymcarthur) from the OpenStack VMware Migration Working Group [4] will be joining us to discuss the working group's efforts. Meeting information, including other agenda items, is on the meeting wiki [5]. I hope you'll be able to join us. Please remember that you can always propose items to the TC's weekly meeting agenda. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== Add Watcher DPL for Epoxy | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/933018 Adding Axel Vanzaghi as PTL for Mistral | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/927962 ==== Open for Review ==== Propose to select the eventlet-removal community goal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/931254 === How to Contact the TC === You can reach the TC in several ways: 1. **Email:** Send an email with the tag [tc] on this mailing list. 2. **IRC:** Use the 'tc-members' keyword on the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. 3. **Weekly Meeting:** Join us every Tuesday at 1800 UTC [5]. Thank you very much for reading!

Is HPET recommended for x86 instance?
by Jiatong Shen 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hello Community Experts, I found that to enable the HPET timer for x86 guests, the operator should set hw_time_hpet on the given image. By default, HPET is disabled. My question is what are the pros and cons for using HPET? Thanks. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen

Hi, I wanted to contribute to that project, so we created a CR. https://review.opendev.org/c/x/cloudbase-init/+/933629 But no one managed this project, so i can't get review. If you have an administrator, I would like to ask you to confirm it. Thanks

[openstack-ansible][ptg] Epoxy Project Team Gathering summary for OpenStack-Ansible
by Dmitriy Rabotyagov 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hi folks, Despite low participation in the PTG this time, we still had quite productive discussions around a variety of topics. You can find some summary on our future plans below: * We agreed to proceed with upgrading RabbitMQ to version 4.0 for Dalmatian. This means that HA (replicated) Queues won't be available anymore so Caracal will be the only release having support for both HA Queues and Quorum Queues. Deployments are expected to accomplish their migration to Quorum Queues (or just Classic Queues v2) on Caracal before proceeding further. * Implementing unified limits At this point of time, support for unified limits across services is not clear enough for us as well as how from operator perspective a mix of unified limits and classic quota will look like, as these 2 options are very distinct from each other. While one use case for their implementation would be vGPUs, we need an interested party for implementing them at this point. * Reviving Watcher support We have retired the Watcher role in Stein. With the project itself getting more traction these days, we agreed to proceed with reviving the role code to re-add support for the Watcher. * uWSGI and eventlet replacement A big topic throughout this PTG was replacement of eventlet with more native async approaches. However, uWSGI has no support for any of them right now. Since uWSGI is also in a maintenance mode, there is no expectations for adding async support to the project either. With that we need to start looking at alternatives, like uvicorn, which is already used in Skyline role. With that we potentially want to re-purpose the uWSGI role to be more generic at serving WSGI, meaning we will look into implementing service selection (uwsgi/gunicorn/uvicorn/etc) and renaming the role to address the more generic nature of it. * PKI role improvements This was another big topic we have discussed this time. There are multiple issues we need to address with the role. It could be split into multiple sub-topics: - Improving CA private key storage method on the deploy host to be able to store them encrypted with ansible-vault/sops or some other lookup mechanism - We need to implement better way for creating and storing private keys for generated certificates as transferring them from the deploy host is not really a best practice. - Adding support for hashicorp vault to store it in an encrypted manner. With that we should also add support to have CA in hashi-vault directly [1] and issuing certs from there. - Improve certs rollout process to allow short-term certificates to be issued and rotated regularly. This includes dynamically reloading libvirt config to address VNC consoles and reducing runtime for certificate rotation. * Would be great to have finally another round on ProxySQL efforts * Document of making user_secrets not a plain-texted file. Also address upgrade script failure in case user_secrets contain ansible-vault/sops/etc rather than plain text. * Document 2 ways of doing "pretty endpoints" - domain based and subpath based. * We need to work closely on deprecation of gather_subset starting with ansible-core 2.18, as there is no straightforward replacement. * Some repositories are missing deb822_repository migration, ie: frrouting, zun, qdrouterd [1] https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/secrets-management/pki-engi…

[neutron][ovn-octavia-provider][octavia][ovn] Octavia OVN DBs sync cmd
by Rico Lin 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hi all I would like to raise attention to the patch set that introduces Octavia OVN DBs sync cmd. patches: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22add-ovn-db-sync-utils%22 With command `octavia-ovn-db-sync-util {--debug}` It should allows us to do the OVN DB sync similar to what `neutron-ovn-db-sync-util` does. And thanks to Fernando Royo, the patches are small and earlier to review in focused functions. Would be great if we could have some more reviews for it. *Rico Lin*

[tacker][ptg] 2025.1 Epoxy vPTG summary
by Yasufumi Ogawa 02 Nov '24

02 Nov '24

Hi tacker team, Thank you for joining the vPTG in the last week. I'd like to share the summary of our two days discussion for the proposals on the etherpad[1]. ## [recap] Revise FTs(yasufum) We have revised functional test from Bobcat and it's a recap session for looking back the remained issues. All the issues are going to be fixed in Epoxy. * Revise directory structure * Names of functions, classes and files too long for maintenance to be done this release * Combine scenarios into one to reduce the number of tests if possible. In process * Reduce setting up infra for the tests to be done this release * Revising scenarios and reducing setups are going to be started in this release. ## Plan for Improvement FT in Epoxy release (yasuum) We discussed the items about strategies for improving functional tests. To complete the goal of this proposal, we will take several steps to focus on dominant ones. (1) Divide time consuming tests, (2) Move tests less frequently updated to non-voting (3) Drop tests almost not updated from zuul (4) Rename each test scinarios and revise directory structure. We agreed with this proposal, but which of tests will be divided or dropped was not decided in the discussion. So, continue the discussion in the next IRC meeting. ## Add option to enable/disable Cinder volume recreation in v1 Heal request (koba) In the current v1 Heal request, the related Cinder Volume for the specified VDU is recreated although it can be specified not to recreate it. To support it in v1, Clients specify a flag in the additional_params to indicate whether to recreate the volume or not when making a Heal request. * Tacker conductor checks this flag to decide whether to mark the storage resources when executing STACK_UPDATE. Heal process works by recreating the resources marked "mark-unhealthy" during STACK_UPDATE. *Consider ensuring version compatibility and consistency with v2 operations. * Default behavior will be the same as now (recreating the Cinde Volume). * The name of the flag parameter in the additonal_params can be configured by the admin in tacker.conf. ## Add default_secret_key Option to [vim_keys] for Multi-Master Tacker Deployment (koba) ## Enhancement of the Ansible Driver (sample mgmt driver) (koba) Tacker currently supports only a single version of Ansible. As a result, when tenants include Playbooks in the VNF-Package that only work with specific versions of Ansible, there may be compatibility problems with the Playbooks. Tacker administrators must modify the Ansible Driver’s source code directly if they want to enforce options related to ansible-playbook execution, such as specifying log storage locations or custom callback plugins. These issues lack flexibility for both tenants and administrators. We agreed the proposed approaches for supporting several versions of ansible, but still not sure it's appropriate to define all the supported versions in tacker.conf and select which version will be applied by specifying it in the definition file in VNF package. It going to be discussed the way of selecting version in the next meeting. ## Remove legacy engine facade (yasufum) It's one of the community goal, so we'll fix it in this release. ## Remove sphinxcontrib-*diag from your (docs) dependencies (yasufum) It's similar to the previous item, and fix it in this release. ## Ensuring Tacker Compatibility with TST and SOL Specifications (Renu Rani) Agreed to the approach proposed on the etherpad. * Addressing the Gap Between TST and SOL Specifications: Raise bugs on TST and request the TST team to update schemas and variables according to SOL specifications. * Support of Compliance Tests for Tacker V2 a. Resolving Issues with Interconnected Test Cases in Tacker: Update Tacker's code to ensure compatibility with the interconnected test cases in v4.5.1-dev. b. Supporting Tacker for TST Release-4: Implement new Tacker compliance test cases for TST Release-4. c. Validating Compliance Test Cases with Tacker V2: Seek the Tacker team's opinion on whether to use Release 3 or Release 4 for validation. ## Enhancing Tacker Testing Coverage in the OpenStack Helm Check Pipeline (Shivam Shukla) To further enhance Tacker testing within the OpenStack Helm Check pipeline by adding more testcases to ensure thorough verification of Tacker deployments. Although the test scenarios were proposed, but we were not sure all the scenario are really needed because some of them are existing scenarios. We agreed to accept the proposal itself, but still not all the scenario should be introduced. So, continue to discuss for that. 1. VIM management (create, update and delete VIMs) 2. VNFD management (create and delete VNF packages) 3. VNF Instance management (create, update and delete VNF instances) 4. VNF LCM operation (instantiate, terminate, heal and scale) 5. Subscription management (create and delete subscription for VNFs) [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2024-ptg-tacker
