[horizon][requirements] Upgrade of urllib breaks Selenium
by Radomir Dopieralski 27 Feb '26

27 Feb '26

Hello everyone, we have just recently fixed our gates in the Horizon project from the pkg_resources, but we noticed just now that they broke again, this time because urllib was upgraded in the global requirements: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/972462 Unfortunately, it seems that this version of urllib doesn't work with the version of selenium library that is forced by the global requirements. And naturally that makes all our integration tests fail. As a temporary measure we are going to use a local copy of the global constraints file with the urllib downgraded for the selenium jobs, just to unblock the gates. This is a very sensitive time for us, because we have to cut a release very soon. We will try to find a better solution for the long term. Suggestions welcome. Regards,

Hi All, I’m reaching out to you to draw your attention to the new OpenStack Ops Radio Hour Survey! As a reminder, the OpenStack Ops Radio Hour gathering is a meeting series in a casual setting for operators, engineers, and contributors to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on the complexities of managing and deploying OpenStack environments. The group organizers put together a survey to better understand what channels people use to learn about upcoming meetings, what topics they would be interested in discussing, and what timing and cadence would be most suitable for folks onwards. You can find the survey here: https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstack_ops_radio_hour_su… Your input is very important to make the gatherings as widely available and inclusive as possible! Please fill out the survey __by February 25, 2026.__ In the meantime, the next Ops Radio Hour is scheduled to happen on February 27th, 2026 at 1300UTC.

[all] client functional jobs are broken by new tox release
by Takashi Kajinami 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Hi, Another fun moment :-) New tox 4.46.0 was released quite recently. This release requires virtualenv 20.39.0 which was released a few days ago (See https://github.com/tox-dev/tox/issues/3069 for details). This conflict with virtualenv pinned to 20.38.0 in upper-constraints and we found some of the functional jobs of client libs (at the moment of writing, cinderclient and heatclient at least) due to the following behavior. - These jobs first install devstack and run tox to test clients accessing API - tox in current CI image is <4.46.0, but it is updated to 4.46.0 due to somehow neutron plugin installs tox (it loos like this is not actually required and I'm trying to get rid of it by https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/devstack/+/977970 ) - however virtualenv is still pinned to 20.38.0 due to uc. The typical error caused by this combination is "AttributeError: 'PythonSpec' object has no attribute 'machine'" # See https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/3f2448194352452a9f674d6c0648b816 There is still some discussions about whether we can bump virtualenv in u-c[2]. Please be aware of this and avoid recheck for now.

using postgresql in production
by Jiatong Shen 25 Feb '26

25 Feb '26

Hello community, We are analyzing the possibility of using PostgreSQL in production. The reason behind is that the PostgreSQL community is very open and growing fast, besides many Chinese companies provide PG compatibility. My question is what are the pros and cons between using PG and MariaDB. Are there any tools available to do online data migration for legacy environments? Any insight is deeply appreciated. Thank you. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen

[openstack-helm] Removing support for tungstenfabric in neutron and nova charts
by Mathieu Gagné 25 Feb '26

25 Feb '26

Hi, It appears tungstenfabric is no longer active. [1] > The official Tungsten Fabric website states that the project will be shut down on August 1, 2024. The latest images consumed by openstack-helm [2][3] found on Docker Hub are from 5 years ago for nightly [4] and 8 years for non-nightly [5]. Considering the state of the tungstenfabric project, the plan is to remove support from openstack-helm. [6] If there are any objections, please let them know.
