[cinder][nova][glance][ironic] restricting image metadata values to 255 chars
by Jorge Merlino 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Hello stackers, It has come to our attention recently that nova, cinder, and glance treat image properties differently. This came up in a discussion on a patch to extend the allowable length of image metadata values in cinder [0]. Briefly: - glance allows image property values to be unrestricted in the schema, but effectively limited to 65535 bytes by the database. - cinder restricts the length of an image property value to 255 chars (by request schema) if you try to update the volume_image_properties on a volume, but if you create a volume from an image, cinder happily copies over all the image properties from glance, giving them an effective limit of 65535 bytes. - nova mostly truncates image properties values to 255 chars (it's a bit more complicated, but we can consider that to be nova's behavior for the purposes of this discussion). (We're not sure what ironic does, but they're in the subject line as a consumer of images and volumes.) Note that we're talking about metadata *values* here; the metadata keys are already restricted by charset to basically US-ASCII and 255 length. Values are allowed to be unicode. The point of this email is that it would be good for the services to be consistent about image metadata values. Thus, we propose that all services should restrict image metadata values to 255 unicode characters. (Which is sort of happening already, but not consistently.) The further point of this email is to find out what the impact of this restriction would be on current users. So please respond if you have a use case that would be affected by this change, and could not be addressed by, for example, instead of having one enormous value for a single key, the metadata was broken into a number of key/value pairs that would satisfy the 255 char restriction. Thanks for your attention to this! [0] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/868485

[Neutron] - Getting bridge_name of the port from Java sdk
by Mahudeeswaran Palanisamy 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Hi All, Looks like as part of the below commit, bridge_name info has been removed from port binding vif_details dictionary. Is there any way that we can get the bridge_name info of a port? As far as checked we can get this info by checking if port UUID is part of the “ports” array in “sudo ovs-vsctl list br” output. But there is no equivalent way to get from Java SDK. https://github.com/openstack/neutron/commit/569bafbbd5f90a458d781f1e49f099f… Thanks, Mahudees

[nova][ci][gate] Recent gate CI instability: an incomplete list of failures
by melanie witt 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hey all, Last week I spent some time parsing through an assortment of recent CI failures on Nova patches and made a list, if anyone else is interested in looking at issues: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-ci-failures-minimal I didn't link specific job runs logs because those can and will expire after ~10 days, so for each item I included an OpenSearch query term that can be used to find sample logs and get an idea of the frequency of a given failure. Note that some query terms will register more than one appearance in a Gerrit change -- this can be due to failure in multiple jobs on the same change or the query might not be unique enough. I tried to make the queries as unique as possible. You can add columns like "build_change" and "build_name" to the search result by clicking "+" on the left bar "Available fields" to see duplication or to make comparisons. To search for a list of build failures, go to the OpenSearch dashboard: https://opensearch.logs.openstack.org/_dashboards/app/discover?security_ten… and login with Username: openstack and Password: openstack: Then copy paste the OpenSearch query into the search box and adjust the time range (the default of the last 30 minutes will probably have no results): -melwitt

A few questions about OpenStack projects archival strategy
by arabat50＠gmail.com 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Dear OpenStack team, I hope this email finds you well. I am Ali Arabat, a PhD student in Software Engineering at École de Technologie Supérieure in Montreal, University of Quebec, Canada, conducting research studies on the evolution of multi-component systems, among which OpenStack plays a significant role. Through this email, we would like to ask a few questions related to our study on OpenStack. Our study revealed a significant increase in the number of cross-component changes over time. However, Such cross-component changes have decreased after archiving a large number of projects beyond 500. Therefore, we would like to have clarification and answers to a few questions as follows: What are the main factors in archiving OpenStack projects? Are there any policies established by OpenStack to archive such projects i.e., end of life? Who generally decides to abandon a given project? We highly value your input and we genuinely appreciate your time. Thank you for considering our request, and we look forward to your valuable input. Best regards, --------------------------------------- Ali Arabat Ph.D. student in Software Engineering Department of Software Engineering and IT École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) | University of Quebec 1100, rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QC H3C 1K3, Canada

Hi, folkers There is some help needed for BP and Bug review, please see the links below. Those bps are introduced for enhancing the query ability of Cinder resources. We have finished and merged a part of it years ago. But there is still some work to do, I have been working on them for almost three years and updated them according to the reviewing comments many times. So, if there are no more updates required, please help me to finish those works, and it's very appreciated to merge them into Cinder project. Thank you very much. [1] bp: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/740146 [2] bp: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/733062 [3] bug: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/734415 -- Best Wishes For You!

[charms] OpenStack Charms 2023.2 (Bobcat) release is now available
by Peter Matulis 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

The 2023.2 (Bobcat) release of the OpenStack Charms is now available. Please see the release notes for full details: https://docs.openstack.org/charm-guide/latest/release-notes/2023.2-bobcat.h… == Highlights == * OpenStack 2023.2 (Bobcat) OpenStack Bobcat is now supported on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (via UCA) and Ubuntu 23.10 natively. * Two charms promoted to stable Both the watcher and watcher-dashboard charms have been promoted to stable. * Keystone role cache configuration The keystone charm now supports configuring the Keystone '[role] cache_time' option using a new 'role-cache-expiration' charm configuration option. If not set, this defaults to the global expiration_time (configurable by the 'dogpile-cache-expiration' charm configuration option). * Designate-bind allow-transfer configuration The designate-bind charm now supports configuring the BIND9 allow-transfer option. If not set, the corresponding feature is disabled. * Improved Vault snap channel refresh The refresh mechanism for the Vault snap managed within the vault charm has been improved. It now properly stops the service before performing a snap refresh. * Glance custom image properties The glance charm now supports configuring automatic custom image properties for imported images. * magnum charm: new option to expose cluster_user_trust The magnum charm has gained a new configuration option (cluster-user-trust) to control whether to assign a trust to the cluster user or not (upstream cluster_user_trust option). * nova-cloud-controller charm: new relation to openstack-dashboard A new relation informs the cloud of what hosts and IP addresses that can potentially access the OpenStack Dashboard. The nova-cloud-controller units use this information to configure the nova-serialproxy daemon to allow dashboard requests from web browsers. * Documentation updates The Charm Guide and the Deploy Guide were updated for OpenStack 2023.2 and Juju 3.x. Regular improvements and bug fixes. == OpenStack Charms team == The OpenStack Charms team can be contacted via real time chat: https://chat.charmhub.io/charmhub/channels/openstack-charms The Juju user forum is also popular for diagnosing technical issues: https://discourse.charmhub.io/c/juju/ == Thank you == Lots of thanks to the 34 contributors below who squashed bugs, enabled new features, and improved the documentation!
