[release][ironic][swift] cycle-with-intermediary deliverables without any release
by Elõd Illés 02 Mar '24

02 Mar '24

Hi, Quick reminder that we'll need a release very soon for a number of deliverables following a cycle-with-intermediary release model but which have not done *any* release yet in the 2024.1 Caracal cycle: [swift] swift [ironic] bifrost ironic-prometheus-exporter ironic-python-agent-builder ironic-ui networking-baremetal networking-generic-switch Those should be released ASAP, and in all cases before March 14th, so that we have a release to include in the final 2024.1 Caracal release.

[oslo] Removing feature branches of oslo.messaging
by Takashi Kajinami 02 Mar '24

02 Mar '24

Hello, # I already discussed this with a few people but am sending this email # mostly for records. Currently we have a few feature branches in oslo.messaging but it seems these are not actually used now. feature/amqp-dispatch-router : the feature was already merged into master feature/nats-driver : this branch contains no meaningful change feature/pika : the feature was already merged into master feature/zmq : the feature was already merged into master I'd propose deleting these useless branches. Note that currently the nats-driver branch is causing config error in zuul, which was triggered by TripleO's retirement, and my quick attempt revealed that, as I expected, CI in that branch is badly broken. Please let me know if you have any concern. Thank you, Takashi -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit

[release] Release countdown for week R-4, March 04-08
by Herve Beraud 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Development Focus ----------------- We just passed feature freeze! Until release branches are cut, you should stop accepting featureful changes to deliverables following the cycle-with-rc release model, or to libraries. Exceptions should be discussed on separate threads on the mailing-list, and feature freeze exceptions approved by the team's PTL. Focus should be on finding and fixing release-critical bugs, so that release candidates and final versions of the 2024.1/Caracal deliverables can be proposed, well ahead of the final 2024.1/Caracal release date. General Information ------------------- We are still finishing up processing a few release requests, but the 2024.1/Caracal release requirements are now frozen. If new library releases are needed to fix release-critical bugs in 2024.1/Caracal, you must request a Requirements Freeze Exception (RFE) from the requirements team before we can do a new release to avoid having something released in 2024.1/Caracal that is not actually usable. This is done by posting to the openstack-discuss mailing list with a subject line similar to: [$PROJECT][requirements] RFE requested for $PROJECT_LIB Include justification/reasoning for why a RFE is needed for this lib. If/when the requirements team OKs the post-freeze update, we can then process a new release. A soft String freeze is now in effect, in order to let the I18N team do the translation work in good conditions. In Horizon and the various dashboard plugins, you should stop accepting changes that modify user-visible strings. Exceptions should be discussed on the mailing-list. By March 25, 2024 this will become a hard string freeze, with no changes in user-visible strings allowed. Actions ------- stable/2024.1 branches should be created soon for all not-already-branched libraries. You should expect 2-3 changes to be proposed for each: a .gitreview update, a reno update (skipped for projects not using reno), and a tox.ini constraints URL update. Please review those in priority so that the branch can be functional ASAP. The Prelude section of reno release notes is rendered as the top level overview for the release. Any important overall messaging for 2024.1/Caracal changes should be added there to make sure the consumers of your release notes see them. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Cycle Highlights Due: March 7th, 2024 (R-4 week) RC1 deadline: week of March 11, 2024 (R-3 week) Final RC deadline: week of March 25, 2024 (R-1 week) Final 2024.1/Caracal release: April 3, 2024 Dalmatian PTG: April 8-12, 2024 -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/

[TC][openapi] Request for new projects under the OpenStack hat
by gtema 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hi TC representatives, Some time ago I was communicating about my POC on generating OpenAPI schemas from the source code of services. I continued working on that and have now few projects (that I was developing on GitHub to make life easier) that I would like to bring under the OpenStack hood (and place them under the SDK team). I have also figured out that Nova is now reviewing spec on starting using supporting this (thanks Stephen) and Neutron folks expressed also interest. === codegenerator https://gtema.github.io/openstack-codegenerator/ This project is responsible for generation of the OpenAPI specs and generate other (currently user-facing) code ouf of them === openstack-openapi https://gtema.github.io/openstack-openapi/ This repo hosts rendered specs and provides analogue to the os-api-ref Sphinx extension that renders them into the html (what you see under the link is a mix of Swagger and os-api-ref style). I was not really effectively working on that rendering lately, the repo right now is more or less a storage for the specs themselves with a first sketch of sphinx extension of rendering and basic OpenAPI flavoring doc. === openstack-rs https://gtema.github.io/openstack/ This is a Rust monorepo project with few items: - SDK for OpenStack out of the rendered OpenAPI specs - experimental CLI following very different approach compared to the python- openstackclient. It is compiled into single binary (what helps those not willing to pull whole python with all deps and the insanity we experience lately or those who build docker containers with only OSC inside to bypass the mentioned hell) and purely auto-generated from the specs - [future] openstack-tui (similar to k9s for Kubernetes) Here it is all really oriented only on the user facing tooling. I am very convinced in this project and will continue working on it independent on the outcome. Any objections/ideas/comments? Should I just go and create 3 project-config changes pending the approval? ====== Since I am on this topic anyway I would also like to address another related question. While working for OpenTelekomCloud we developed HashiVault plugin for managing OpenStack credentials as secrets (I had a talk on that in Vancouver). We tried to bring this to OpenDev but were unsure under which namespace. Pretty shortly a Hashi license issue started circling around and after few back and forth iterations we were not sure what to do with that project at all. Anyway the plugin itself is Apache-2 and working. It should be possible to also use it with OpenBAO (as a fork of Vault), but it was not tested so far. I am now not with Telekom anymore, but people there are still willing to contribute it under the OpenStack. Do you have any opinions on that? Is there interest in getting this under the OpenDev and if yes then which namespace (openstack or X)? ======= Thanks, Artem

[blazar] Proposing Mark Powers and Matt Crees as core reviewers
by Pierre Riteau 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hello, I would like to nominate two new core reviewers for the Blazar project: - Mark Powers from University of Chicago - Matt Crees from StackHPC Mark Powers has been operating Blazar for several years for the Chameleon project (https://www.chameleoncloud.org) and maintains a fork of Blazar with many changes for this environment. The most useful changes are gradually being contributed upstream. Matt Crees has contributed several useful features to Blazar in the past few releases and helps to maintain the code. The Blazar project will benefit from their expertise and I trust their input as reviewers. Best wishes, Pierre Riteau (priteau)

[all] Gate issues and memory pressure; can you help?
by Jay Faulkner 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Hi all, As some of you are aware, keeping the OpenStack CI system operating is a massive amount of work, and it's a team effort. Along those lines, we continue to have issues with CI, and memory pressure is a common thread. Recently at a TC meeting[0] we discussed how the gate is using more ram -- now in the form of swap. One additional concern is that this memory usage increase may be reflective of what our users are experiencing -- bugs that we need to fix for the sake of our users. A specific target of concern is oslo.privsep[1], but generally a need for an audit of memory usages of OpenStack services would be of significant value to the community. If you're interested in taking on this work, please reach out here, on the mailing list, or in any relevant #openstack-* channel, such as #openstack-tc. In any event, don't wait for permission! Take action and see if you can make things better, even a little bit. Thanks, Jay Faulkner OpenStack TC Chair 0: https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/tc/2024/tc.2024-02-20-18.00.log.html 1: https://opendev.org/openstack/oslo.privsep

Openstack Networking queries
by KK CHN 01 Mar '24

List, My kolla-ansible OpenStack installation all-in-one on Virtual Machine( Ubuntu 22.04, ) This base VM has three vNICs 1. ens192 with ip 10.170.16.128 from my organization's LAN with internet connectivity 2. ens224 is configured manually with a 10.220.0.51 IP ( from a VLAN for internal testing without internet) 3. ens160 This interface is made up without any IPs ( I don't know why this has to be up without any IP address, but kolla-ansible all-in-one installation document specifies one interface like this required ) Can I do the kolla-ansible deployment with the above 2 vNICs only ( ens192 and ens 224 ?) But ens192 I cannot have without IP addresses as it is my organizational LAN. Other clients in the office use this Segment for daily work . I don't have control on 10.170.16.0/24 but only on10.170.16.128 ip Any serious issues there by using only ens192 and ens224 alone in this case ? ( I can use ens224 ( 10.220.0.0/24 segment as floating IPs as it is in my control as a VLAN) But How can I connect the internet and external world communication to this vLAN 10.220.0.0/24 from 10.170.16.128 IP which has the internet. (to use these vLAN IPs as floating point IPs ) my tenant network can be ( all VMs can be on 10.0.0.0/24) How to provide the internet to this vLAN 10.220.0.0/24 from the available internet connected IP ens192 (10.170.16.128 with internet) I have only control on this IP but not on 10.170.16.0/24 network as it is not under my control.

[nova] dry-run migration api
by Pavlo Shchelokovskyy 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Hi all, Recently I've been looking into various load optimizations tooling for OpenStack (like Watcher), and noticed a lacking feature that could make such tooling much more robust and useful. The optimization tooling usually collects some metric about compute hosts and instances that nova may be totally unaware of (e.g. power consumption of a compute node in Watts), and then tries to reshuffle the instances between hypervisors to optimize said metric in some sense. The problem is, the tool has no idea beforehand if nova will actually allow moving this given instance to this given hypervisor. I am talking about resource consumption, resource provider traits, image and aggregate metadata matching, numa placement, server group affinities etc. To know all this for sure, the optimization tool would have to duplicate most of the nova scheduler and good part of placement inside of itself - which is not feasible. This is why AFAIU in Watcher all available strategies mention that they expect "any VM to be migrateable to any hypervisor", which is far from many if not most real life deployments. What I suggest is adding a new API to nova to effectively have a 'migration dry run' - it should return the list of target hosts a given instance may be migrated to, accounting for all the knowledge nova has about the instance and the hypervisors. The list can be already sorted by nova weighers to signal the preferred choice from nova side. AFAIU such a new API would not require any drastic changes in Nova - the most of the code is already there, used during migrations, only that at the last step, instead of choosing the best compute and actually initiating the migration process, the result of filtering and weighing will be returned to the caller in some form. Would there be interest in such an API? If yes, I could start writing and proposing a spec. Best regards, -- Dr. Pavlo Shchelokovskyy Principal Software Engineer Mirantis Inc www.mirantis.com

Re: Enabling external connectivity to VMs

Please don't drop the list from your response. I'm not very familiar with kolla, but if you're able to ping the instance via floating IP it seems okayish. Maybe you need to set neutron_external_interface to ens192 instead? Someone with more kolla experience will probably correct me here, so don't rely on my response.

Hello, I'd like to request an exception to merge a change[1] to oslo.context and create a new stable/2024.1 release. This change is required to fix the problem which is current blocking us from bumping oslo.messaging to the final 2024.2 release version (14.7.0)[2]. The change is small and has quite limited impact. I've tested the modification locally and confirmed it fixes the heat unit tests.

Hi everyone, It seems that based on a recent post that I saw on the Twitter-sphere[1], it seems that the Magnum team has decided to move forward with setting a default driver for the Cluster API. I don't agree with this. Unfortunately, we don't have much recordings of our PTG conversations, and since the notes on the PTG are pretty light[2], I don't see any details of that. I don't see why we should be merging a native Cluster API driver and not allowing the operators and deployment tools decide which one they want to support. Personally, I think that the Helm driver should be built in a separate repository and then installed by the user as a Python package once they understand what are the backends and their options, as opposed to shipping one out of the box with far less features. We already have successful users which are using our implementation in production that have also posted blogs and shared their experience, we'd be doing them a disservice by now announcing a 'native' built-in driver. Can the decision be changed so that there is no built-in driver, and you must decide to install one yourself? Also, I would be really happy to hear feedback from users of the driver for their comments here. Thanks, Mohmamed [1]: https://www.stackhpc.com/magnum-clusterapi.html [2]: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/r.5b94a5a9dbf4e3bf8202b5e57cb93770

by Ian Y. Choi 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Developers, The TC Election Campaigning Period has now started[1]. During the next couple days, you are all encouraged to ask the candidates questions about their platforms[2], opinions on OpenStack, community governance, and anything else that will help you to better determine how you will vote. This is the time to raise any issues you wish the future TC to consider, and to evaluate the opinions of the nominees prior to their election. Candidates, Each of you has posted a platform[2], and announced your nomination to the developers. From this point, you are encouraged to ask each other questions about the posted platforms, and begin discussion of any points that you feel are particularly important during the next cycle. While you are not yet TC members, your voices and opinions about the issues raised in your platforms and questions raised by the wider community will help ensure that the future TC has the widest possible input on the matters of community concern, and the electorate has the best information to determine the ideal TC composition to address these and other issues that may arise.

Ansible variables
by Gk Gk 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

Hi, We have an OSA setup. During a service playbook, for example, say rabbitmq, which task or play is responsible for creating it's haproxy configuration ? I mean, where is the code in openstack ansible to say to gather the values from user_variables file for that particular service or gather it from conf.d ? For instance, for rabbitmq service, where is the code which says to get the rabbitmq management port for the backend to be 15671 ? I mean where is the source code for pulling it from user_variables file and also which variable from it ?

I would like to focus this next cycle on seeing that [1] is implemented as well as some much needed backlog cleanup. I would also, finally, like to get a "known-issues" section added to the documentation as well as ensuring that our documentation is up to date. Thanks for your time and support and I'm looking forward to another great cycle. [1]: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/keystone-specs/specs/keystone/2024.1/… /Dave

TC Candidacy
by Amy Marrich 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

I am declaring my candidacy for the Technical Committee. I currently serve on the TC and have contributed to multiple projects over the years within OpenStack as well as being an operator which I feel gives me a well rounded view of what makes OpenStack and how the pieces should work together and what the users need. I feel I represent all members of the community from the small private clouds to the teams running large public clouds. I also feel my experiences helping with OpenStack Upstream Institute, OpenStack OPS Meetup team, the OpenStack mentoring program, and the Git and Gerrit workshops help me to connect with contributors from those just starting out to those who have been here from the beginning. My main goal for rejoining the TC is to take my experiences with Operators and making sure they have a voice within the our decisions so that we can better meet the needs of our users. Thanks, Amy Marrich (spotz)
