[octavia] Blocking a specific network for the VIP of LBs
by Thomas Goirand 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hi there! In our setup, we offer to our customers, on top of floating IPS, access to an OpenStack internal network that contains public IPs. The idea is that they can, using this network, spawn VMs with a public IP directly on the NIC of their VMs. The issue is, some customers also use this network for the VIP of their LBs. While this seems to work, actually, instead of reserving a single public IP address, it reserves 3 IPs. Not a big deal for us, as they are billed internally, though it's rather bad for our customers. On top of that, whenever one of the subnet of this network becomes full, it becomes impossible to failover amphoras spawned in this subnet. Each time one runs into ERROR, it's kind of a bad situation where we have no way to fix, except contacting the customer and ask them to fix their setup. So we advise our customers to spawn a port first, use that port for the LB, and associate a floating IP address to the original port. This is described in our doc here: https://docs.infomaniak.cloud/network/loadbalancer_usecase_simple_http/ However, as you may know, customers never read the docs. And therefore, we'd like to forbid the use of that shared OpenStack internal network for the VIP of LBs. But as much as possible, this isn't a feature of Octavia. Is it? I'd like to implement the feature. What's the best way to do so? Would a new "forbidden_networks" directive would do, and then have a check at the API level? Or is there a better way using the API policy? Also, wouldn't it be possible that Octavia just reuse the ports that it currently hold, rather than asking new ports for the failover? If so, any clue where the code that does that could be fixed? I'd love to have this fixed AND the forbid network feature too... Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[tc][election] mnasiadka TC candidacy for 2025.2
by Michał Nasiadka 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello, I'd like to announce my candidacy for the Technical Committee. This is would be my first TC term (I have never applied for a TC seat). My relations with OpenStack started around Liberty release as a user and Ocata as a Kolla developer. Since Yoga release I became PTL for Kolla (that also includes Kolla-Ansible and Kayobe). I'm also a core reviewer for the Magnum project and diskimage-builder. Throughout my commercial career I've been working with OpenStack clouds in service provider (including VMware and Microsoft hypervisors managed by OpenStack), telco and HPC environments - which give me a broad view of the different use cases for running a cloud. Due to my PTLship of a deployment project - I will probably be focused on operators' perspective and cloud managability aspects - which if possible I'd like to improve - and by that also improve the overall experience of using OpenStack. Thank you for considering my candidacy, Regards, Michal Nasiadka

Issues with installing Zun on Compute node
by Milan M 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

I was trying to install openstack 2024.2 zun on compute node. and following the page https://docs.openstack.org/zun/2024.2/install/compute-install.html for installation. I am facing the issue of docker "--cluster-store" support. I am using Docker 27.5 version. Reading the documentation online, i am confused. Some places it is, mentioned that it is fixed. and some places it suggest to uses docker 22. At few places in your mail you have mentioned to stop using kuryr and use CNI. And official documentation still says to use --cluster store. What is the current state and the correct solution. Please guide me.

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-6)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello Stackers, We're six weeks away from the coordinated 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release [1]. The next couple of weeks are chock-full of release deadlines. We're closing the nomination period for the OpenStack PTL+TC elections on 2025-02-19 at 23:45 UTC [2]. If you're looking to lead a project team or join the OpenStack TC, do nominate yourself at the earliest. Election officials will also be generating electoral rolls at this deadline. To ensure you are able to vote, please confirm that you've signed up for emails from the CIVS voting platform before that deadline: https://civs1.civs.us/cgi-bin/opt_in.pl In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee defined an Upstream Investment Opportunity for the year [3]. The community is actively looking for organizations to sponsor a Quality Assurance developer to augment the OpenStack QA team. Since the team has a far-reaching impact on the quality and maintainability of all OpenStack software, support would be most appreciated. The TC also defined the Tested Runtimes for the 2025.2 ("Flamingo") release cycle. This will be a non-SLURP release and we are expanding testing with Python 3.13 while simultaneously dropping support for Python 3.9 [4]. A number of other governance proposals remain under community review. Finally, the TC expressed support for the proposal to move the OpenInfra Foundation under the Linux Foundation. This conversation is ongoing, and several important concerns have been raised and answered [5]. === Weekly Meeting === The TC meeting last week was held over IRC, and it was well attended [6]. We followed up on several long-running tasks, including the maintenance of the "openstackdocstheme" and "os-api-ref" repositories. Both of these are widely used across OpenStack documentation; however, we need more code reviewer attention to get some critical maintenance patches in. We discussed fixes to the election roll generation scripts to expand the list of repositories used to collate contributors. We'll follow up on this before the electoral roll generation deadline [2]. Dr. Jens Harbott (frickler) discussed the effort to transition "unmaintained/wallaby" branches across OpenStack repositories to "end-of-life." He proposed the change this week [7], and we have until 2025-03-14 to make any modifications to the patch. The final topic was a strategic consideration regarding the OpenInfra Foundation potentially joining the Linux Foundation. Several important concerns were raised during the meeting. One key concern was the LF's recommendations to limit contributions from certain countries. These restrictions currently exist within the OpenInfra Foundation as well. By joining forces with LF, Jonathan Bryce (jbryce) mentioned that he was "hopeful we can have a bigger impact on getting these regulations to view open source properly." The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is today, 2025-02-18. It will be held via IRC on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel at 18:00 UTC. Please find the agenda in the meeting wiki [8]. I hope you'll be able to join us! === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Define 2025 upstream investment opportunities | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939507 - Define testing runtime for 2025.2 release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941141 - Propose Extra-ACs from I18n SIG (2025.1) | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941743 ==== Open for Review ==== - Deprecate ironic-lib | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939278 - Cleanup policy popup leads list | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941148 - Switch Ironic to Distributed Leadership | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941935 - Add Watcher project update liaison | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/940168 - Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-02-19: Nominations submission deadline for 2025.2 TC/PTL Elections: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-02-28: 2025.1 ("Epoxy") Feature Freeze and release milestone 3 [1] - 2025-03-06: SCALE 2025 + OpenInfra Days NA (https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x) - 2025-03-11: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-04-07: OpenInfra PTG Thank you very much for reading!

[manila][election] Carlos da Silva candidacy for 2025.2 Manila PTL
by Carlos Silva 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello zorillas and interested stackers, I would like to announce my candidacy to be Manila PTL over the 2025.2 (Flamingo) cycle. I have been working with these amazing contributors and community members for many cycles. If elected, this will be my 6th cycle as a PTL. We shared a lot of accomplishments and faced lots of challenges together. We have continuously been delivering features, fixes, and enhancements requested by operators. We are making solid progress on enhancing the review bandwidth by actively adding more people to the core team and promoting engaging activities around reviews, to get more traction. We have also been closing the gap on the Manila UI features, implementing OpenAPI schemas, integrating manila with OpenStack SDK and enhancing our documentation. For the next cycle, I would like to continue what we have been doing, but also focus on: * Tech debt: continue the efforts to get parity between Manila APIs and Manila UI, complete the rootwrap->privsep migration. * Eventlet: python-manilaclient is successfully migrated, and we will continue the process for all other manila repositories. * Ensuring we are making progress on the integration Barbican and the implementation of share encryption. * Work with the contributors to ensure we have healthy testing jobs for first party CI drivers. Thank you for your consideration. Carlos da Silva IRC: carloss

[tc][election] gouthamr's TC Candidacy for 2025.2
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello Stackers, I am submitting my candidacy for another term on the OpenStack Technical Committee. Over the past year, I had a rare privilege of being a first-time TC member, and its Chair. I was lucky to have enormous support from the team and past chairs to be effective. Over this time, I fostered open, consensus-driven discussions, making my best effort to let every voice be heard and ensure that governance is accessible to all contributors. I worked to bridge the gap between the community and the TC through weekly summary emails, and engagement with contributors at PTGs, in-person events and online meetings. TC decisions are more transparent and inclusive in the process. I advocated for contributor initiatives, conducted onboarding workshops, promoted internships, and helped connect contributors and project leadership. I assisted in the revival of project teams, improving election processes, securing project trackers, and OpenStack’s presence on PyPI and Launchpad. This ensured that our community was a reliable and well-maintained ecosystem for its users and contributors. Beyond community engagement, the TC I was part of collectively made meaningful governance changes to direct our limited resources to high-impact areas, things that were more important to the community, than any single contributing organization. I will continue pushing for this, with a bias toward strengthening the community. Looking ahead, my priorities for the next year include grooming the next set of OpenStack leaders, furthering cross-community collaboration, driving work that ensure OpenStack’s continued relevance, including a sustained focus on critical community goals and improvements. I'm excited to support the OpenInfra community as a project leader should OpenStack and OpenInfra projects move under the Linux Foundation. I believe OpenStack thrives because we've created a welcoming, productive environment for all contributors, new and experienced alike. If re-elected, I'll ensure that OpenStack remains an inclusive, innovative, and technically strong open-source community. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr) [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/election/+/942001

Understanding update in Heat orchestration templates
by Uday Dikshit 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Hello Team we are using Heat to automate orchestration of our application nodes. So please consider a case: I am running 3 nodes in the heat stack. And let's say I have made some updates in the the application code over these 3 nodes. So when I scale up the stack orchestrates and add another node but with the original image. To deal with this if I update the stack template heat rebuilds the original 3 nodes as well with the new snapshot image which makes my application to be unavailable during the update process. It would be really helpful if anybody could put in some ideas around this on how work this case around? Thanks in advance Uday Dikshit

[elections][ptl][keystone] Stepping down as PTL
by Dave Wilde 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Hello, Due to a recent change in my career path I’ve come to the difficult decision that I need to step down as the Keystone PTL. Over the past 4 years as the PTL the Keystone project has really come a long way, from the establishment of reviewathons and an engaged team of core reviewers to the implementation of some long sought after features and a clean up and modernization of the codebase. This is all due to some very dedicated folks and I’ld like to pass on my personal thanks to them for all of the hard work. Keystone is at a very interesting point in it’s history and I think the future holds bright things for the project, I would like to still be involved but due to the time constraints of my new position I no longer have the bandwidth to manage the day to day aspects of such a large project. I’m looking forward to helping whoever takes the reins in whatever ways that I can. Thanks again, it’s been a pleasure. /Dave

Does anyone know how to use a https://portworx.com/ kubernetes-based storage solution as the storage backend for Cinder ? There is a Pure Storage driver listed in https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/volume… . https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/driver… BUT I do NOT believe this is the correct driver for interfacing with an https://portworx.com/ storage cluster.

[ironic][nova] deploying VMware ESXi
by Doug Goldstein 15 Feb '25

15 Feb '25

Hello all, I’ve got a need to boot bare metal machines with VMware ESXi. ESXi 7 and newer is resistant to an image that can be reused like other OS images are used from Nova. As I mentioned it’s a bare metal machine so I’m working with Ironic but ultimately looking to drive this via Nova (through the Ironic hypervisor backend). Coming up empty in my Google-fu for an example of someone doing this so I figured I’d crowd source asking the ML. Right now I’m able to get an ISO of a system and it’s using VMware’s “weasel” installer which appears to be a fork/related to Anaconda and using Kickstart. Ironic supports an Anaconda deploy mechanism but the files are different and so it won’t just work out of the box (there is no stage2 but instead like 80 individual files) so my plan is to make a “weasel” deploy mechanism for Ironic. But just wanted to see if someone had any better approaches or ideas before I plod forward. Thanks. — Doug

[release] Release countdown for week R-6, Feb 17 - 21
by Elõd Illés 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Development Focus ----------------- Work on libraries should be wrapping up, in preparation for the various library-related deadlines coming up. Now is a good time to make decisions on deferring feature work to the next development cycle in order to be able to focus on finishing already-started feature work. General Information ------------------- We are now getting close to the end of the cycle, and will be gradually freezing feature work on the various deliverables that make up the OpenStack release. This coming week is the deadline for general libraries (except client libraries): their last feature release needs to happen before "Non-client library freeze" on February 20th, 2025. Only bugfixes releases will be allowed beyond this point. When requesting those library releases, you can also include the stable/2025.1 branching request with the review (as an example, see the "branches" section here: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/pike/… In the next weeks we will have deadlines for: * Client libraries (think python-*client libraries), which need to have their last feature release before "Client library freeze" (February 27th, 2025) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services), which observe a Feature freeze on that same date, February 27th, 2025. Any feature addition beyond that date should be discussed on the mailing-list and get PTL approval. As we are getting to the point of creating stable/2025.1 branches, this would be a good point for teams to review membership in their $project-stable-maint groups. Once the stable/2025.1 branches are cut for a repo, the ability to approve any necessary backports into those branches for 2025.1 Epoxy will be limited to the members of that stable team. If there are any questions about stable policy or stable team membership, please reach out in the #openstack-stable channel. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Non-client library freeze: February 20th, 2025 (R-6 week) Client library freeze: February 27th, 2025 (R-5 week) Epoxy-3 milestone: February 27th, 2025 (R-5 week) Cycle Highlights Due: March 6th, 2025 (R-4 week) 2025.1 Epoxy final release: April 2nd, 2025 Project Teams Gathering (virtual): April 7th-11th, 2025 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release

[Neutron] Router external GW info policies bug
by Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Hello all: Yesterday I opened a bug because of an issue in the router's external GW info policies: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2098109. At the end of the day I found that the issue is more complicated than the trivial fixes I proposed. NOTE: I've reverted two backports of a patch that was not merged in master branch. I've also -W the patches proposed. I would like you to read https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2098109/comments/11, that describes the current issue. Today I'm going to propose several patches to fix that problem, first in n-lib to fix the definitions and then in Neutron, to implement the needed policies for these new actions and their sub-attributes. Please don't hesitate to ping me in IRC for more info. @Brian Haley <haleyb.dev(a)gmail.com> I don't think it will be needed to add this topic to the drivers meeting. I think I've better described it in the bug comment and we can continue any discussion offline. So I think we can remove the section you added; it will be better to "digest" this info reading the bug and commenting async in IRC. Regards.

[nova] How to gain approval for a new feature on unavailable hardware
by taketani.ryo＠fujitsu.com 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

To Whom It May Concern, We are considering to propose and develop a new feature on OpenStack Nova for building Arm Confidential Computing Architecture (Arm CCA)-encrypted instances. I have some questions for doing it. * While specification of Arm CCA is already open(https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0125/0300/Overview), No Arm CCA-enabled hardware is currently available to our knowledge. Therefore, we plan to conduct testing in an internal environment. * Would a proposal for a feature utilizing publicly unavailable hardware be acceptable to OpenStack? Alternatively, in this case, what steps or preparations are required for approval? * Should the blueprint and specification be submitted simultaneously? * The specification is currently incomplete. Building Arm CCA instances requires libvirt APIs, similar to AMD SEV instances(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/amd-sev-libvirt-suppo…, but specification of these are not yet determined publicly. We are considering submitting the blueprint first to inform the community of our ongoing development efforts. Regards
