[horizon] Changing the Term “Instance” to “Server” for improved clarity and consistency
by Dmitriy Chubinidze 11 Jun '25

11 Jun '25

Propose changing the term "Instance" to "Server" ( "Instances" to "Servers") in the platform’s user interface. This update will be aiming to improve clarity for users, align with industry terminology, and create a more intuitive experience. "Server" is a more commonly understood term than "Instance", especially for users who are not deeply familiar with cloud computing. Major platforms like AWS and Azure often use "Server" in their UI, even when referring to virtual instances. Adopting this term will make OpenStack easier to use and understand. This change will affect only the visual elements — such as UI labels, menus, and documentation. The underlying code, APIs, and data structures using the term instance will remain unchanged. This ensures there is no impact on functionality or development processes. We are open to feedback and discussion on this proposal.

Re: Api routes
by Bernd Bausch 11 Jun '25

11 Jun '25

I took the liberty to add the OpenStack mailing list on CC. As far as I know, the list of a service's APIs is not advertised to users, except in the documentation. An operator with access to the cloud controllers can list all endpoints of a service by generating a policy file, for example oslopolicy-sample-generator --namespace nova This will create a YAML file that contains a paragraph similar to the following per endpoint, which describes the authorization policy of this endpoint: # Delete a server # DELETE /servers/{server_id} # Intended scope(s): project #"os_compute_api:servers:delete": "rule:project_member_or_admin" This example is from https://docs.openstack.org/nova/2025.1/configuration/sample-policy.html. You need to run the oslopolicy command on a controller that contains the service's (in this case, Nova's) code. ________________________________________ From: engineer2024 <engineerlinux2024(a)gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 10:55 PM To: Bernd Bausch <berndbausch(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: Api routes This is not what I need.

nova.conf : can [pci]alias be multivalued ?
by Michel Jouvin 10 Jun '25

10 Jun '25

Hi, We need to support several GPU models in our Nova configuration. This normally requires to add multiple `alias` entries (lines) in the [pci] section of nova.conf. Unfortunately for us, it complicates a lot the generation of nova.conf by our system configuration management tool (where the section is represented by a dict/hash, meaning that there is only 1 possible entry for 'alias'). Before trying to hack our tool, we were wondering if there is a way to put the different values as a list for a single 'alias' line and what should be the separator or syntax ? I was not able to identify a generic description of the syntax for multivalued parameters, if there is a generic rule. I already found this limitation (but we could live with it) for Keystone [federation]trusted_dashboard for example... Thanks in advance for any hint. Best regards, Michel

by Yasufumi Ogawa 09 Jun '25

Hi tacker team, For some members joined our team recently, it's not convenient to attend the IRC meeting since they have another regular meeting at the same time. So I'd like to propose to change the meeting time from Tuesday 8:00 UTC to Monday 8:00 UTC. Let me know if you guys are not convenient, or we'll change the time from next week (16th June). Thanks, Yasufumi

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-16)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

Hello Stackers, We're 16 weeks away from the date earmarked for the coordinated 2025.2 "Flamingo" release of OpenStack [1]. OpenStack project teams are wrapping up design specifications and gearing up to land feature changes. In the past week, the OpenInfra Foundation officially joined the Linux Foundation [2]. This is a significant move for OpenStack and other projects under the OIF. I join you in hoping that this means greater acceleration for OpenStack and broader avenues to collaborate with other open source projects under the Linux Foundation. In the same week, the OpenStack Technical Committee also passed a few important resolutions. The primary one was to adopt the "Developer Certificate of Origin" [3] for contributor sign-offs beginning July 1, 2025. What does this mean for you? This means that any new patch uploaded to the OpenStack review system (https://review.opendev.org) on or after July 1, 2025, will require a "Signed-off-by" line in the commit message. Doing so indicates that you are submitting this code in adherence to the DCO, which replaces the Contributor License Agreement that we have long required. Adding a DCO sign-off can be done by using "git commit -s" when your username and email are properly configured in your Git environment. The TC encourages PTLs, project liaisons, and all maintainers to help other contributors become familiar with this change and assist anyone who may be confused by the new requirement. If you have any questions, please join us in #openstack-dev or #openstack-tc on OFTC, or ask away on this mailing list. Alongside this significant change, the TC also clarified the actions that the Election Officials will take when there is no need for an election [4]. The next elections for Project Team Leads and a portion of the OpenStack Technical Committee will occur between Aug 27, 2025, and Sep 17, 2025. The official nomination window opens at 23:45 UTC on Aug 06, 2025. However, you're welcome to submit your nomination at any time before this date. Doing so may be helpful if you plan to be away during the nomination window. OpenDev Infrastructure Administrators have now enabled all registered users to add or edit hashtags on the code review system [5]. Some project teams have long found this useful for linking related changes—hashtags in Gerrit are more versatile than topics. I hope you'll find this helpful! === Weekly Meeting === On Jun 3, 2025, the OpenStack Technical Committee held its weekly meeting as both a video conference [6] and over IRC in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel [7]. The meeting was well attended and primarily focused on the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) implementation, contributor experience challenges, and other open governance proposals. A key decision was to separate translation-related concerns from the main DCO implementation. The i18n SIG has been migrating from Zanata to Weblate and will explore how the DCO can be prominently enforced via Weblate. The discussion then moved on to the findings from the maintainer and contributor surveys for the Epoxy release cycle. The survey results [8] indicated that 73% of maintainers reported difficulty getting review attention, while 68% of non-maintainer contributors faced challenges in having their reviews completed. TC members brainstormed potential reasons, and some key concerns identified include: - Inconsistent review prioritization across projects - Poor visibility into project-specific review processes - Heavy reliance on Etherpads for tracking priorities - Underutilization of review priority labels in projects that have enabled them A couple of minor action items were identified for the TC and project maintainers. Project maintainers are expected to audit their CONTRIBUTING.rst files and clearly indicate how contributors can get their changes reviewed and merged. The TC also plans to enforce more structured cross-project discussions at the October PTG. As a tangential concern, we supported the idea of hosting an ops meetup at the upcoming OpenInfra Summit in Paris-Saclay [9]. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2025-06-09, at 17:00 UTC. This meeting will be held over IRC in the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the agenda on the meeting's wiki page [10]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Replace CLA with DCO for all contributions | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/950463 - Add nova-contrib repository | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/951569 - Clarify actions when no elections are required | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949431 ==== Open for review ==== - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-06-13: CFP Closes for the OpenInfra Summit EU: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/cfp/ - 2025-06-28: OpenInfra+Cloud Native Day, Vietnam: https://www.vietopeninfra.org/void2025 - 2025-07-19: OpenInfra Days Indonesia: https://2025.openinfra.id/ Thank you very much for reading!

In openstack, is there a feature to list all the available routes for the rest api servers, instead of checking and referring the documentation? Thanks elinux
