[freezer][freezer-dr] Proposal to retire Freezer DR project
by Dmitriy Rabotyagov 23 Dec '24

23 Dec '24

Hi folks, As an ongoing effort to return Freezer project back to the list of Active projects and recovering gate health for repositories owned by Freezer, I've come across freezer-dr[1] Freezer DR is a separate from freezer/freezer-api instance-ha project which is highly pluggable by design with the main goal to evacuate instances from the compute node once service detects that the serving compute node is down. And that is what is currently achieved by the Masakari project. While pluggable design for the service, can be treated as a good benefit in favor of it. Another relatively valuable benefit of freezer-dr, is that it uses nova service state to detect if the compute is down, rather then require 3rd party cluster tooling to independently evaluate hypervisor health. Regardless, I don't see enough value to keep maintenance of that project and instead it's better to keep focus on Masakari maintenance/development instead. With that being said, I suggest the retirement of the freezer-dr project. If someone feels in favor of keeping maintenance of a separate project for instance evacuation - please feel free to reply in thread until December 10, 2024. After that date I will initiate the project retirement process. [1] https://opendev.org/openstack/freezer-dr

[magnum][cluster api] Heads-up - Octavia OVN driver and latest CAPO
by Stig Telfer 21 Dec '24

21 Dec '24

Hi Magnum folks - Heads up - we wanted to make people aware of a recent upstream CAPO change that could break your Magnum setup if using Cluster API and the Octavia OVN driver. What we've seen is that a recent contribution to CAPO tightens the security group rules for NodePorts to the local tenant network. This works fine for Octavia's Amphora driver, in which HAproxy becomes the source for all back-end API requests. The Octavia OVN driver doesn't have that behaviour, which results in inbound requests getting filtered. The CAPO release is v0.11.0 (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-openstack/releases/…) The issue is described here: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api-provider-openstack/issues/23… The Magnum drivers will pin CAPO driver versions so it's more of a developer / power-user concern than for conventional operators. Cheers, Stig

Hi, list, I saw this project hasn't been active for months. So I'm wondering if it is still actively developed and can it be used in production? Are there any use cases ? Thanks.

Openstack ansible Upgrades
by engineer2024 20 Dec '24

20 Dec '24

Is it possible to upgrade openstack ansible from one major release to another, along with the os distribution upgrade all in one flow ? I mean, as of now we are doing the upgrade as two step process. first we are upgrading the os of the hosts and then the os of the lxc containers and then re running the existing openstack version playbooks. Next , we are upgrading to major release of OSA. This two step process is doubling our effort and time to upgrade to a major version. Is it possible to download and run the major release playbooks soon after the os upgrades ? instead of rerunning the existing playbook again and then download and running next version playbooks ?

[openstack][magnum] user who created cluster was deleted from keystone
by Nguyễn Hữu Khôi 20 Dec '24

Hello. I have a case: What will we do if the user who created the cluster was deleted from the keystone? In this case, we cannot add or remove node groups or use autoscale and autoheal. I tried to create a new application credential and patch my cluster. Then I can add or remove node groups but new node groups cannot join the cluster(nodes not ready) Thank you. Regards Nguyen Huu Khoi

[manila] Removal of the Standalone CephFS NFS Protocol Helper in Epoxy
by Ashley Rodriguez 20 Dec '24

20 Dec '24

Hi zorillas! As per subject line, we will be deprecating the standalone CephFS NFS protocol helper in this cycle. This is following our deprecation warning we put out in 2024.1 / Caracal [1] [2]. We've supported using a clustered Ceph NFS service since the Zed release. We've also added upgrade helpers to migrate from a standalone NFS-Ganesha service to the ceph-orch-deployed clustered NFS service; this code was backported to stable/2023.1 (Antelope). Although the upgrade path is disruptive, there is a UX improvement in Manila to ease this migration through surfacing “preferred” export paths. Moving forward, deployments must have “cephfs_nfs_cluster_id” in your configuration, otherwise the driver will fail to start. Manila will not make any export changes to NFS-Ganesha, so upgrading manila without an NFS cluster will mean that only the control plane is not going to work; but, data plane will remain unaffected. To assist migration, admins can also configure "cephfs_ganesha_export_ips" (or alternatively, "cephfs_ganesha_server_ip") alongside "cephfs_nfs_cluster_id". Setting these options will allow the CephFS driver to report additional export paths. These additional export paths will have the "preferred" metadata key set to False. Best, Manila team [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/manila/+/912648 [2] https://docs.openstack.org/manila/2024.2/configuration/shared-file-systems/…
