#eventlet-removal - Announcing the New Threading Backend of oslo.service
by Herve Beraud 22 May '25

22 May '25

I'm happy to announce the new version of oslo.service is out! [1] This new version came out with the new Threading backend [2]. OpenStack Upper constraints are on the way to be upgraded to this new version [3]. You can start using the new threading backend by following the steps below: ``` import oslo_service.backend as service service.init_backend(service.BackendType.THREADING) ``` Ideally this backend selection should be made in your patcher module. Almost all OpenStack services own a household patcher. Neutron and Nova already demonstrated a successful adoption of this new backend on Nova scheduler and Neutron L3 agent: - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/938404 - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/948450/17 Devstack is on the way to be adapted to allow you to set up `SYSTEMD_ENV_VARS`. [4] This will allow passing environment variables from zuul job definitions to systemd service files via the local conf. During the Eventlet removal effort this will allow teams to have separate jobs testing the same service in different concurrency modes. The first use case of this is to implement scenarios like passing variable `OS_NOVA_DISABLE_EVENTLET_PATCHING=true` to nova services that already supports running in native threading mode instead of with Eventlet. To get a more concrete integration example, you can take inspiration from Nova patches [5][6] to see how to implement your backend switch on your deliverables. A comprehensive guide is currently under creation. [7] Next steps will be to address a couple of remaining comments, to introduce functional tests, and to democratize the usages of this new backend. Thank you to Daniel for his hard work and all his efforts on this topic. Also I wanted to specially thank Gibi and Rodolfo for their close collaborations on this new backend implementation. Please join me to warmfully thank them. Our mission is to equip the community with everything it needs to leave Eventlet behind. This backend is only a tiny piece of this giant puzzle. Your turn to place your piece: https://removal.eventlet.org Cheers, [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/950646 [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.service/+/945720 [3] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/950653 [4] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/devstack/+/948436 [5] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/948311 [6] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/948450 [7] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.service/+/940664 -- Hervé Beraud Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/

"quantum" package name on pypi
by JDK Phoenix 21 May '25

21 May '25

Dear Openstack-Team, I am the creator and maintainer of the programming language "qb" (qb · PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/qb/>, qb <https://lschreiber.eu/qb/>) and I wanted to implement a package manager similar to how Maven, Cargo or Poetry works. I picked the name "quantum" for this program and noticed that this name was already in use on pypi for a package developed by you. This program has only a singular contribution in 2012 and seems to be inactive since then. I wanted to ask if it would be possible for you to transfer the quantum-package name on pypi to my user (Leander420). I would be very grateful if this could be possible. I thank you for your time and consideration Kind regards Leander S. Schreiber

Issue on IP Assignment on newly created VM after deleting old one
by sudeb ghosh 21 May '25

21 May '25

Hi Team, We are operating an OpenStack environment managed by Ansible. Openstack Version: Ussuri(21.2.1) OS: CentOS8 We had a volume backed VM named VM01 with IP of 10.10.10.10 for example. We required to delete the VM01 & recreate a VM named VM02 using the same volume. We used the same project & same network what we used for VM01 earlier. VM02 is getting any one available IPs from the given network. Manually i am able to detach the existing IP & attached the specific IP but its not pinging. Query: i) What is the option if i need the same IP(10.10.10.10) will be assigned to VM02 as well autometically? ii) What is fix to get the said old IP(10.10.10.10) working if i do attach manually in GUI through newtwork-interface?

[watcher] Call for maintainers - MAAS integration
by Douglas Viroel 20 May '25

20 May '25

Hi everyone, At the last watcher's weekly meeting[1], the team discussed the impacts of the eventlet removal in Watcher's code, and it was brought up that the integration with MAAS (Metal As a Service) support is affected. At the moment, we do not have any active members in Watcher that have any experience with MAAS. CI also doesn't have any job running and testing this integration, and we don't have documentation of how it works. This is a call for maintainers interested in supporting MAAS in Watcher to help fill these gaps. It is worth mentioning that, as discussed in the PTG[2], we also plan to mark this integration as *experimental* once it does not provide minimal testing and documentation (this is also the case of other integrations). But we will cover this topic in a different thread. [1] https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/watcher/2025/watcher.2025-05-15-12.01… [2] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/apr2025-ptg-watcher#L71 Thanks and regards, -- Douglas Viroel - dviroel

[ops][neutron] Neutron-db-manage upgrade from Antelope to Bobcat fails with "foreign key constraint 'porthints_ibfk_1' are incompatible" error
by federica fanzago 20 May '25

20 May '25

Dear all, we are running an OpenStack deployment Yoga on AlmaLinux 9.5 and we are attempting the upgrade Openstack up to Caracal release, one release at time (Zed--Antelope--Bobcat--Caracal) The procedure we are following is to shut down all openstack services, to remove the "old" openstack release and to install the new one, upgrading all service databases. This procedure works well for Zed and Antelope, but during the installation of the Bobcat release, the Neutron database upgrade fails when creating the new "porthints" table. The command we are using is su -s /bin/sh -c "neutron-db-manage --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini upgrade head" neutron and the error message we receive is ...

In this way, the upgrade works, but we encounter the same kind of problem during the upgrade to Caracal, specifically with the creation of the new table porthardwareoffloadtype. Have you already encountered this issue during the Neutron upgrade? Do you have any suggestions on how to upgrade the neutron DB, without manually creating new tables?

CEPH deployment method: cephadm vs puppet
by Francesco Di Nucci 20 May '25

20 May '25

Hi all, we're planning (finally) to setup a CEPH cluster to be used as OpenStack backend. The cloud is actually set up with Foreman+Puppet, to setup CEPH what would you advice? cephadm as it's the preferred method in the CEPH docs or Puppet with the puppet-ceph module, as it's part of openstack?

[magnum] April vPTG summary and Magnum meeting time change
by Dale Smith 20 May '25

20 May '25

Hello all, I wanted to post a short summary to this list of the vPTG[1] the Magnum team held on April 8th and 9th 2025. These are the topics and a summary of my notes from the discussions. If I missed key details please add these to the etherpad and/or reply here. Thank you all for attending. Please get in touch if the timing of the vPTG did not work for you, as we could propose multiple timezone slots in future. * Heat driver deprecation. o This driver is marked deprecated in Dalmation 2025.1, being replaced by either of the Cluster API drivers, and we discussed when and how we will remove it from Magnum codebase. o We are now looking at removing the Heat driver in this (Flamingo 2025.2) cycle, as waiting longer may imply waiting until 2026.2 due to SLURP release expectations. We would like to hear any feedback on this plan from users of Magnum - either in the mailing list or join one of our IRC meetings[2]. o One option is to move the driver out of tree into its own codebase (perhaps in `x/`), to allow deployers to keep their existing clusters functional and addressable by Magnum while transitioning to a Cluster API driver. This initiative needs effort and a champion to drive it. * Helm charts (magnum-capi-helm driver) o While the driver code is now in opendev the Helm charts live in azimuth-cloud's github. These are a major component of the driver and we discussed the reasoning behind keeping them in github and stability of the Magnum-capi-helm driver. o The current proposal is to snapshot the upstream repo at regular intervals into the opendev repo. This avoids maintenance of a complete fork, but keeps the Magnum-capi-helm driver with a stable internal reference of the helm charts. * CI for the Magnum project was discussed o One big implication of the Heat driver being removed is what we test against. o Including the CAPI drivers (initially non-voting) would give stability, provided external changes wouldn't break the CI. * Normalised labels proposal o Dale has a proposal for Normalised labels[3], aiming for Mutable labels. The video format discussion of the vPTG was very helpful to give context and move the idea forward to cover API backwards compatibility requirements and a better way to implement support labels for different drivers. o The proposal as it stands should be re-worked to look at covering a similar extension pattern that Nova has with drivers, and possibly look to replace labels. * TC initiatives o We discussed the upcoming Eventlet removal and as we are a small team we will wait for guidance and examples to follow before implementing, but we remain aware of this initiative. Finally, I wanted to announce to the list that at last weeks Magnum IRC meeting we proposed and agreed on a new time slot. This is on alternate (every second) Tuesday at 8am UTC starting on the 27th May[2]. See the meeting notes for a full transcript and discussion[4].

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-19)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 19 May '25

19 May '25

Hello Stackers, We are 19 weeks away from the release date for OpenStack 2025.2 "Flamingo" [1]. Last week, election officials published the combined TC and PTL election schedule targeting the next release cycle [2]. We are setting up our election configuration early to ensure that community members have adequate time to propose and deliberate nominations. The elections themselves will occur in August 2025, and the official nominations window opens on 2025-08-06 (week R-8). However, you are welcome to submit your candidacy early in case you anticipate being away. Please note that your nomination will not be merged until the nomination window opens. This election is also an opportunity for OpenStack project teams to modify their leadership model if they choose. All project teams with "distributed" project leadership will be required to update their liaisons or assert that no change is necessary by week R-8. Please await changes from the TC on Gerrit to do so. No further governance changes were made last week; however, a few proposals are open for review. === Weekly Meeting === The weekly IRC meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee occurred on 2025-05-13 [3]. A lot of progress was made in the past few weeks with regard to action items that we were tracking from our Project Team Gathering in April. We discussed a proposal [4] to require a declaration of affiliation when contesting TC elections and how that would apply to current TC members. The proposal seeks to enhance transparency and allow voters to make more informed choices since the TC has an affiliation diversity requirement [5] that is enforced when adopting the results of an election. Concerns were raised about potential misinterpretations regarding company influence and the perception of OpenStack's governance. It was recommended that we add specific disclaimers as to why the affiliation is declared on our governance pages after this proposal has been adopted. We also socialized the kick-off for the 2026.1 elections. I will be serving as the TC's election liaison and helping our election officials Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) and Ian Y Choi (ianychoi). We discussed the state of the CI, bringing the TC up to speed on several cross-community CI efforts. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is on 2025-05-20 at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be held over IRC on the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the agenda and other details in the meeting's wiki page [6]. I hope you will be able to join us there! === Governance Proposals === === Open for review === - [resolution] Relinquish "quantum" project on PyPI | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949783 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 - Clarify actions when no elections are required | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949431 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-05-22: OpenInfra UG Meetup, Sweden: https://www.meetup.com/openinfra-user-group-sweden/events/306139678/ - 2025-06-03: 15 ans d'OpenStack - OpenInfra UG, Paris: https://www.meetup.com/openstack-france/events/307492285 - 2025-06-05: OpenStack 15 ans! - OpenInfra UG, Rennes: https://www.meetup.com/openstack-rennes/events/306903998 - 2025-06-28: OpenInfra+Cloud Native Day, Vietnam: https://www.vietopeninfra.org/void2025 Thank you very much for reading!

[openstack-helm] Are there any real users of the umbrella chart?
by Vladimir Kozhukalov 17 May '25

17 May '25

Hi team, This is to start the discussion about the future of the Openstack super (umbrella) chart [1]. My personal impression (maybe I am wrong) is that this chart is of extremely little interest. We continue to maintain this code (and spend testing resources) but maybe there are no real users of it. The chart deploys a compute-kit scheme but the same result can be achieved if one deploys multiple separate charts one-by-one. It seems convenient to have this single super chart that deploys Openstack with a single command, but IMO even small operators prefer using separate charts. Having said that, I would suggest removing this chart if it is not needed. [1] https://opendev.org/openstack/openstack-helm/src/branch/master/openstack -- Best regards, Kozhukalov Vladimir

[nova] Auto-convergence but for I/O
by Winicius Allan 17 May '25

17 May '25

Is there any option for disk I/O auto-convergence like conf.libvirt.live_migration_permit_auto_converg for memory-intensive instances? The use case is for an I/O intensive VM, so the disk cannot be migrated. Instead, it is necessary to change the max IO with `$ virsh blkdeviotune` then, migrate the instance and replace the current value with the old using the same command. regards.

[release] Release countdown for week R-19
by Thierry Carrez 16 May '25

16 May '25

Development Focus ----------------- We are now past the Flamingo-1 milestone. Teams should now be focused on feature development and completion of goals [0]. [0] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/goals/selected/index.html General Information ------------------- Our next milestone in this development cycle will be Flamingo-2, on July 3rd, 2025. This milestone is when we freeze the list of deliverables that will be included in the 2025.2 Flamingo final release, so if you plan to introduce new deliverables in this release, please propose a change to add an empty deliverable file in the deliverables/flamingo directory of the openstack/releases repository. Now is also generally a good time to look at bugfixes that were introduced in the master branch that might make sense to be backported and released in a stable release. If you have any question around the OpenStack release process, feel free to ask on this mailing-list or on the #openstack-release channel on IRC. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Flamingo-2 Milestone: July 3rd, 2025 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[Kolla-Ansible][DockerImages] - Failing at start
by Victor Sartori 16 May '25

16 May '25

Hello All, Some containers are failing to start. All of them exhibit the same behavior: ``` + echo 'Running command: '\''uwsgi /etc/nova/nova-api-uwsgi.ini'\''' Running command: 'uwsgi /etc/nova/nova-api-uwsgi.ini' + exec uwsgi /etc/nova/nova-api-uwsgi.ini /usr/local/bin/kolla_start: line 27: exec: uwsgi: not found ``` Could this issue be related to a message posted in the OpenStack IRC? ``` -opendevstatus/#openstack- NOTICE: Setuptools 80.7.0 broke python package installs for many, affecting CI jobs. That release has been yanked, and it should be safe to recheck failed changes. ``` I see errors in the following containers: - quay.io/openstack.kolla/nova-scheduler:2024.2-ubuntu-noble - quay.io/openstack.kolla/placement-api:2024.2-ubuntu-noble - quay.io/openstack.kolla/cinder-volume:2024.2-ubuntu-noble It's likely that any container relying on uwsgi will fail. Environment: Ubuntu 24.04.2 Kernel 6.8.0-59-generic Docker CE 28.1.1 Kolla version: kolla-ansible 20.1.0.dev10 Any help?

[Kolla-Ansible][Magnum] Vexxhost CAPI no longer working
by Oliver Weinmann 16 May '25

16 May '25

Hi all, a couple of weeks ago I updated the containers in my 2023.2 release. kolla-ansible pull kolla-ansible deploy since then the Vexxhost driver in Magnum is no longer working. I have clusters stuck in provisioning and deleting: $ kubectl get cluster -A NAMESPACE NAME CLUSTERCLASS PHASE AGE VERSION magnum-system kube-6r0du magnum-v0.26.0 Provisioning 20d v1.26.7 magnum-system kube-7ljg3 magnum-v0.26.0 Provisioning 18d v1.26.7 magnum-system kube-csf6s magnum-v0.13.4 Deleting 71d v1.26.7 I believe this is due to a versionn mismatch. Many different tools are involved here. All pods in the KIND Management cluster are running: $ kubectl -n kube-system get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE coredns-76f75df574-lfckv 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d coredns-76f75df574-n85fv 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d etcd-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kindnet-jtdtm 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-apiserver-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-controller-manager-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 10 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-proxy-qwjc8 1/1 Running 5 (2d23h ago) 71d kube-scheduler-magnumcapi-control-plane 1/1 Running 9 (2d23h ago) 71d There is nothing obvious in the capi or capo logs. Is there someone that is currently running 2023.2 or newer with the Vexxhost CAPI driver? Would be great if you could share the versions of: Management Cluster $ kind --version kind version 0.22.0 $ export KUBECONFIG=~/config $ kubectl get nodes -o wide NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION INTERNAL-IP EXTERNAL-IP OS-IMAGE KERNEL-VERSION CONTAINER-RUNTIME magnumcapi-control-plane Ready control-plane 71d v1.29.2 172.18.0.2 <none> Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) 5.14.0-503.38.1.el9_5.x86_64 containerd://1.7.13 $ kubectl get provider -A NAMESPACE NAME AGE TYPE PROVIDER VERSION capi-kubeadm-bootstrap-system bootstrap-kubeadm 71d BootstrapProvider kubeadm v1.9.5 capi-kubeadm-control-plane-system control-plane-kubeadm 71d ControlPlaneProvider kubeadm v1.9.5 capi-system cluster-api 71d CoreProvider cluster-api v1.9.5 capo-system infrastructure-openstack 71d InfrastructureProvider openstack v0.10.8 The magnum pods: ~]# podman exec -it magnum_conductor bash ()[ /]$ pip list | grep api magnum-cluster-api 0.26.0 ()[ /]$ helm version version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.13.2", GitCommit:"2a2fb3b98829f1e0be6fb18af2f6599e0f4e8243", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.20.10"} ~]# podman exec -it magnum_api bash ()[ /]$ pip list | grep api magnum-cluster-api 0.26.0 ()[ /]$ helm version version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.13.2", GitCommit:"2a2fb3b98829f1e0be6fb18af2f6599e0f4e8243", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.20.10"} ()[ /]$ Cheers, Oliver

[neutron][ml2/ovn] unintended changes in trunk status ACTIVE
by Bence Romsics 15 May '25

15 May '25

Hi Neutron Team, A heads up to OVN folks: We believe we have a problem in Neutron that we move a trunk to ACTIVE status too early (changing the meaning of status=ACTIVE) - already after its parent port is updated to ACTIVE instead of waiting for all of its ports (parent and sub) to be processed. We discovered this while working on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2095152 The problem was introduced by this patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/853779 Which was intended to be a fix for ml2/ovn leaving a trunk in DOWN after live migration. However that patch affected all backends. And affected not just live migration, but create too. We have proposed the following patch to limit the effect to ml2/ovn (but did not yet find a way to avoid affecting create): https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/949217 However due to ml2/ovn's handling of trunk subports (not cascading the parent's binding:host update to all subports in the neutron api layer) I don't know how this should be fixed for ml2/ovn. Maybe a clever wait in the OVN databases could solve this. People with better OVN knowledge may want look into this. You're also welcome to review our proposed patches, including this os-vif change to prevent a resource leak in ml2/ovs when a trunk is already deleted on server side when the agent is still processing its create: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/949736 Thanks, Bence (rubasov)

Dear OpenStack Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently exploring OpenStack deployment strategies for our infrastructure and wanted to reach out to the community for guidance. Could you kindly share insights on the different deployment methods commonly used within the OpenStack ecosystem (e.g., DevStack, Kolla-Ansible, TripleO, etc.)? Additionally, I would like to understand which method is currently most preferred or widely adopted in production environments, along with any pros and cons you've experienced. Your input will be highly valuable in helping us choose the right path for our deployment. Looking forward to your recommendations and experiences.
