[heat][mistral][tc] Status of ply
by Takashi Kajinami 18 Sep '25

18 Sep '25

Hi, As you might know, some of the OpenStack projects, heat and mistral, use yaql to support flexible user input. The yaql library has been tiny and stable, thanks to the ply[1] library which is the python-written implementation of lex and yacc . However, it was declared that no further release of ply is planned[2] and the author now suggests copying it into the project[3]. The old released version has been working so far, but I'm unsure if it could survive through recent drastic changes in python package tooling. Looking at the code, it seems all codes are tagged with BSD 3-clause license[3] though the repository lacks the LICENSE file. I guess that the easiest approach is to import the codes to somewhere within yaql (like yaql._ply) and use the imported codes, with a note explaining these codes are imported from ply. This follows the suggestion by the author, but I'd like to get some guidance from TC to make sure it won't break the whole license expectation. An alternative approach is to implement our own parser, though I'm not too sure if that's feasible at least from my PoV. If we want this approach, then we need actual volunteer for it who will immediately start working on it. If neither of the two options above work, we might end up removing yaql functionality completely from OpenStack. AFAIK the one in heat was added for TripleO which was already retired so the impact may be limited, while for mistral removal could have lager impact. Thank you, Takashi [1] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply [2] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply?tab=readme-ov-file#important-notice---october… [3] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply?tab=readme-ov-file#questions-and-answers [4] https://github.com/dabeaz/ply/blob/master/src/ply/lex.py#L10-L33 -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit

Putting DB/WAL on SSD on
by William Muriithi 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

Hello, We want to use ceph as the openstack storage system and we can afford a purely SSD based storage system. So we are planning to just setup meta data on SSD and leave the data on HDD The documentation around this isn't very clear and wonder if someone can explain a bit Here is what the documentation say:- https://docs.ceph.com/en/reef/start/hardware-recommendations DB/WAL (optional) 1x SSD partion per HDD OSD 4-5x HDD OSDs per DB/WAL SATA SSD <= 10 HDD OSDss per DB/WAL NVMe SSD What does this mean? I am sorry to say, but it look a tad ambiguous to me, but suspect its obvious once one have experience. I have 6 8TB disk per system, and I want to use replication so will end up with 18 OSD I am hoping I don't need 18 SSD as we don't even have enough bays If we can add in 2 800GB SSD per hardware, how do we optimally map those 18 DW/WAL to a total of 6 SSD disks? Regards, William

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-2)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Hello Stackers, We're two weeks away from the date of the coordinated 2025.2 "Flamingo" release [1]. At this time, nearly all deliverables that follow the "cycle-with-rc" release model [2] have shipped their first release candidate. Over the next couple of weeks, OpenStack project teams will be expected to test, find and resolve any release blockers in these deliverables. The ongoing elections to fill four seats on the OpenStack Technical Committee and to elect a PTL for the OpenStack Dashboard ("Horizon") project team will conclude at 23:45 UTC on September 17, 2025 [3]. If you haven't already voted, please do so. There were no new governance proposals that were merged in the past week. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee was held on September 9, 2025 [4]. We discussed project teams that had no PTL candidates in the ongoing renewal exercise: Vitrage, OpenStack Charms, Venus, and Monasca. You are all aware that we began the retirement process for the Monasca team [5] and are actively considering a maintainer request. We expect to make a decision past the 2025.2 "Flamingo" coordinated release. We have had a call for help [6][7][8] advertisement for the other projects and will discuss alternatives if those go unanswered. The TC discussed efforts to increase voter turnout for OpenStack elections by encouraging people to opt in to CIVS emails. A related topic was the reduced electorate, which was suspected to be due to OpenInfra Foundation (OIF) membership renewal requirements. The committee agreed to follow up on this after the elections conclude. We discussed default MySQL/MariaDB charset/collation changes that affect most OpenStack service projects. A few key points were discussed, including the need for a potential community goal to migrate from utf8 (which aliases to utf8mb3) to utf8mb4 due to MariaDB's plan to remove the utf8 alias. The meeting also addressed a known issue with Ironic, which has conflicts with the larger utf8mb4 type due to index size limitations. We decided to gather more data on what each project is currently using to better understand the scope of the problem. Dmitriy Robotyogev (noonedeadpunk) and Seunghun Lee (seunghunlee) volunteered to collect this information and add it to a new Etherpad [9] that will inform next steps. After the meeting, Jonathan Wright (JonathanWright[m]) from AlmaLinux joined us to discuss the potential for adding AlmaLinux to OpenStack's supported runtimes, noting its benefits like support for older CPUs (AlmaLinux 10 continues to support older CPUs like x86-64-v2) and more stable CI mirrors compared to CentOS Stream. This could be a significant benefit for OpenStack's CI (Continuous Integration) providers, as it would allow them to utilize their existing, aging hardware more effectively for testing. Community contributors from AlmaLinux want to improve its integration with OpenStack, including creating tailored cloud images for CI and contributing infrastructure resources. We agreed that a clear goal is to establish a working relationship with AlmaLinux volunteers to create and maintain CI images. This effort would likely involve a "pop-up team" to handle the initial implementation, with a long-term plan for AlmaLinux contributors to take ownership of the testing infrastructure. The primary objective is ensuring OpenStack services and deployments can be reliably tested and deployed on AlmaLinux, thereby expanding the project's supported user base. If you're interested to be a part of this effort, please chime in on the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 1700 UTC. It will be hosted on the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. Please find the meeting's agenda on the OpenStack wiki [10]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open For Review ==== - Retire metalsmith project from bare metal program | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958297 - Retire Monasca project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 - Extend Monasca's inactive state | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/959392 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-09-17: OpenStack TC and Horizon project elections conclude: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-10-01: OpenStack 2026.1 "Flamingo" release day - 2025-10-03: OpenStack's Birthday Meetup, Austin: https://www.meetup.com/openinfra-austin/events/310508680 - 2025-10-17: OpenInfra Summit, Paris-Saclay: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/ - 2025-10-27: OpenInfra PTG: https://openinfra.org/ptg/ Thank you very much for reading!
