quick report on microstack
by Chris Morgan 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Mark Shuttleworth introduced 'microstack' at the conference last week. It's a snap based openstack install suitable for getting a quick instance up for playing with. Project here : https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/microstack Its's aimed at bring-up on an actual ubuntu-installed host, however I got it running on a virtual Ubuntu VM on my Mac with a trivial change (see https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/microstack/issues/41) I found it an quick, easy, even fun way to get a test openstack instance, it installed in just a few minutes for me. It's a single command: snap install microstack --classic --edge So far I got a cirros instance to launch, but didn't yet manage to ssh into that instance, but I only had about an hour playing with it so far. Definitely a fun toy. Chris -- Chris Morgan <mihalis68(a)gmail.com>

[Openstack] Create VMs with Power architecture(ppc64) on OpenStack running on x86_64 nodes??
by Yedhu Sastri 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hello All, I have some use-cases which I want to test in PowerPC architecture(ppc64). As I dont have any Power machines I would like to try it with ppc64 VM's. Is it possible to run these kind of VM's on my OpenStack cluster(Queens) which runs on X86_64 architecture nodes(OS RHEL 7)?? I set the image property architecture=ppc64 to the ppc64 image I uploaded to glance but no success in launching VM with those images. I am using KVM as hypervisor(qemu 2.10.0) in my compute nodes and I think it is not built to support power architecture. For testing without OpenStack I manually built qemu on a x86_64 host with ppc64 support(qemu-ppc64) and then I am able to host the ppc64 VM. But I dont know how to do this on my OpenStack cluster. Whether I need to manually build qemu on compute nodes with ppc64 support or I need to add some lines in my nova.conf to do this?? Any help to solve this issue would be much appreciated. -- Thank you for your time and have a nice day, With kind regards, Yedhu Sastri _______________________________________________ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack(a)lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack

[docs][i18n] Team meeting proposal
by Frank Kloeker 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hello, in the last weeks we had some informal discussions about combined team meeting for documentation and translation team. There should be overlapping topics and other project teams or operator would have the same contact persons on the same place. We also save resources on meeting chairs. Here are my proposal: 1) Meeting room #openstack-meeting 2) Switch back from (informal) Office Hour to (formal) Team Meeting. Topics for upcoming meetings will be collected on a Wiki page. If there are no topic we would skip the meeting. So often we recorded empty sessions in the past. 3) Meeting time is Thursday 07:00 UTC (odd week), 16:00 UTC (even week) 4) First part (30 min) I18n topics, second part documentation topics, meetingbot will recorded two sessions, so it's easier to read specific topics later. 5) Rotating meeting chairs between the two teams. This should renew a little bit the conversation and we are more flexible and visible on the move. kind regards Frank (PTL I18n)

[goals][tc] community-wide goals for train development cycle
by Doug Hellmann 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Last week at the Forum in Berlin we met to discuss potential community-wide goals for the Train development cycle. We had a good list of proposals [1], although some of them do not meet the criteria for the goals program as currently defined [2]. We came up with a few suggestions that do fit the criteria, listed here in the order we discussed them: * Ensure that each project has contributor on-boarding documentation in a discoverable place in their documentation tree, and link to that from the contributor portal at openstack.org/community. (proposed by TheJulia) This should be relatively light-weight for teams to do, and will uncover some good opportunities for documentation reuse. * Deletion of project resources. (proposed by tobberydberg and adriant) This has been a long-standing request from operators, as discussed in forum session earlier in the week [3]. The propose next-steps are to establish a way for the existing os-purge program to accept plugins so that project teams can declare the relationships between resources that need to be deleted, to make orchestration easier. See the etherpad from the session for more details. * Finish moving legacy python-*client CLIs to python-openstackclient (proposed by mriedem on behalf of Tim Bell) This is another initiative that has been going on for a few years, and completing it would give users more clarity as well as providing a more consistent user interface. The general idea was to finish implementing all of the commands within OSC using the existing client libs, then update the SDK to support those features so we can drop the client libs from OSC as well, giving us 1 SDK and 1 CLI. That’s a multi-step process, so I think for the first phase targeting completing all of the commands within OSC using the various client libraries would be enough for 1 cycle. * Ensure all projects pass request-id when calling one another. (proposed by Pavlo Shchelokovskyy) Passing request-id allows us to chain requests together and trace them for debugging and profiling. We started this a while back and some projects are doing it but not all. * Rolling out oslo health-check middleware so each project provides that API. (proposed by mugsie) This came up at the PTG in Denver earlier this year [4]. There will be some up-front work to make the health check API able to support real backend checks for the database, message bus, etc. Then we would need to add the middleware to all services. In all of these cases, we have a bit more up-front work to do to be ready to accept the idea as a goal. There should be time during the remainder of the Stein cycle to make enough progress on that work to know if we could accept it as a goal. Our next steps are for the people proposing these goals to ensure that up-front work is done and be prepared to write up the goal document for review. If the proposes aren’t able/willing to act as goal champions, we need to identify someone else to fill that role. I propose we set a target of early March for having the formal goal proposals ready for review. That will give us time to approve them well before the next Summit/PTG, so that teams can use time during the PTG for planning their implementation.

[tc] summary of 12 Nov 2018 joint leadership meeting
by Doug Hellmann 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

On Monday 12 November, 2018 the OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors, staff, and project leadership held a joint meeting to discuss the project and foundation status [1]. We were hosted by Deutsche Telekom AG in their Berlin Representative Office. The meeting space was inside a room that housed their original telegraph offices built in 1861, and as someone who appreciates old architecture I can say that DT did an excellent job blending the feeling of the old building with the modern fittings needed for meetings like ours. The morning was taken up with a formal Board of Directors meeting, which Jonathan has already summarized at [2]. I won't repeat everything he wrote here, but there were a few topics that may be of particular interest to ATCs. The first is that the board has approved a set of bylaws changes [3] that declare that the Foundation will establish "Open Infrastructure Projects" (OIP), with the governance for each to be approved by the Board. Because the bylaws require a vote of the Foundation members to change, the details are left up to other documentation, which a subcommittee of the Board is going to begin preparing [4]. Completing that work is a prerequisite for Airship, Kata Containers, StarlingX, and Zuul to be confirmed as Foundation projects (they are "pilot" projects now). The current version of the bylaws includes details about the way OpenStack operates, by defining the membership and role of the Technical and User Committees. Those definitions will remain, to signal the "centrality" of the project and, and there are a few proposed wording changes to try to make election scheduling more flexible and to clarify the relationship between the OpenStack Technical and User Committees and the other OIPs. There is also a change to allow the Board and TC to update the "Technical Committee Member Policy" by voting on it together, rather than requiring a full vote of the Foundation members. There are also some minor cleanup and "modernization" of the language (removing obsolete references to bootstrapping directions, for example). There was not a lot of discussion of the changes in this meeting, because there had been several meetings to discuss and refine them before 12 November. Next, these changes need to be approved by the Platinum and Gold foundation members and then approved by the individual members. The goal is to have everything ready for approval during the board election this January. Please watch for the announcements for that vote and participate in the election, so that we have quorum and so the outcome of the vote is binding. The second topic I thought might be of interest is the discussion of the brand research the Foundation staff commissioned and which Wes previously summarized on the mailing list [5]. I was encouraged by the favorability numbers in the responses (67% of respondents rate OpenStack as "favorable" or "very favorable") as well as the 50-60% of overlap between people reporting an interest in OpenStack and in the existing OIPs. The "Open Infrastructure" renaming for the summit (announced last week) was also very popular in the survey results. After the Board meeting concluded, the Technical Committee presented a summary of the work done during Rocky, a preview of the work to be done during Stein (thank you to the PTLs who responded to my request for information) and some of the initiatives the TC is undertaking right now [6]. The Board was very interested in both the peer review culture change that Julia has been driving and the technical vision document that Zane has been writing [7]. Following the TC presentation, the User Committee presented updates on their work, the user survey, and work being done in adjacent communities such as Kubernetes [8]. We wrapped up the afternoon with presentations from each of the existing pilot projects on their mission and status [9].
