[election][kuryr] PTL Candidacy for Yoga
by Maysa De Macedo Souza 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Hello OpenStack community, I would like to continue serving as Kuryr PTL for the Yoga cycle. I have started serving as Kuryr PTL in the Wallaby cycle. It has been a great opportunity to contribute back to the community as PTL and I would like to continue doing that. In the Xena cycle we achieved the following goals: * CI improvements: started moving gates to use OVN by default while still having a few supporting OVS. * Dev env improvements: Support for Kubeadm for DevStack installations. * Extended features in Kuryr: Support to reconcile Load Balancer with respective Kubernetes Service, improvement on the Kuryr logs. * Increased diversity of contributors with great addition of contributors from the Outreachy program. For the next cycle, I propose the following goals for Kuryr: * Improve CI: we already did great improvements, but we must continuously work on it to provide better and quicker feedback during the development process. * Migrate CNI code from pyroute2.IPDB to NDB; Add support to reconciliation of other Kubernetes resources; Reduce OpenStack resource usage; Provide better debugging by relying on Kubernetes events. Thank you for your consideration. Kind regards, Maysa Macedo

Hello OpenStack Community! I would like to announce my candidacy for another term on the Technical Committee. First of all, I have appreciated the opportunity to serve on the TC for the last two years.

With this experience under my belt I would like to continue to work with the TC in the coming year to address some of the challenges that currently face the community. Most importantly the challenge of getting more new companies and contributors to engage with the OpenStack community. I also would like to continue to work with the TC to innovate and improve OpenStack's processes given the always changing landscape of the community. I appreciate you all taking the time to read/consider my candidacy! Sincerely, Jay Bryant (jungleboyj)

[masakari] Deprecating process monitor - querying the community in this thread
by Radosław Piliszek 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Hello users of Masakari, As the Masakari core team, we have discussed the deprecation/retirement of one of the monitors - the process monitor. The reason is simple - we consider its mission is better handled by other software such as Kubernetes, Docker, or systemd, depending on how you deploy your OpenStack cluster. I believe the process monitor might have made sense in the pre-containerisation, pre-systemd world but it does not seem to any longer. Please let us know, by replying to this mail, if you have a use case for the process monitor that cannot be handled by the aforementioned software. -yoctozepto

[election][nova][placement] PTL candidacy for Yoga
by Sylvain Bauza 22 Aug '21

22 Aug '21

Hello Nova (and Placement) fellows, That's been some time I started to work on OpenStack and Nova in particular (I leave you guessing it [1]) but I feel this is time for me to run for the Nova PTL election and ask you to accept me for this hot seat (which is not a Yoga mat). First and foremost, I'd like to thank gibi for the hard work he did on the previous cycles, especially during this (hopefully) transient situation we currently face which challenges us in terms of teamwork. Running our team gatherings virtually twice is awfully exhausting and I also thank you all for supporting this situation. Hopefully our next PTG will be the last virtual one but who knows. I personally feel Nova now entered a period of quiet but productive pace. We accepted a solid amount of blueprints over the past cycles but we also delivered a decent ratio of them. That said, many challenges occur as of now which as a PTL I have the intention to continue to stress on and engage discussions between us how to solve them : - CI stability : We recently faced a couple of bugs that prevented us to merge code and I have the feeling that some of them are intertwined. I'd like us to identify all the stressing bits so we could prioritize any kind of tech debt fix that would help to gain better stability and not treat them as just standard bugs that we only look after our feature delivery duties. - Upgrades : I'm very happy to say we solved the long-running problem of version-to-next upgrades which are now painless. We have a couple of tools for helping operators to gain confidence before upgrades and we also have CI jobs that prove their stability. That said, I personally feel we now have another dimension of upgrades we barely scratched to define and I would like us to think about them. Placement reshapes and fast-forward-upgrades are for example two new features that Nova supports but I'd like us to take a second and identify all the improvements we could make for those (and prioritize efforts accordingly) - Contributors diversity : I don't think there is any surprise if I say that our Nova community is smaller than before. I don't think it's a problem and as I already said, we're productive. No, the concern that I have is that I'd love to have a way to help contributors that are maybe not having time to develop on Nova as a primary day-to-day job. We started to discuss on ways to define review priorities and I would like to pursue this direction by wondering what and how we could do for those contributors. Either way, I truly respect the ideal of Open Design. Whatever Nova becomes or evolves in the future, every single contributor is part of it and my role will be to make sure we have a consensus. Thanks, -Sylvain [1] 0x7DD

how to update existing vm instances 'availability_zone' field in nova database 'instances' table
by hai wu 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Hi, How to update existing vm instances 'availability_zone' field in nova database 'instances' table? It turns out there are many VMs with default 'nova' availability zone, while the hypervisors are with another different target aggregate/availability zone name, thus live migration for these VMs are failing. The strange thing is that the 'OS-EXT-AZ:availability_zone' output from 'openstack server show VM_NAME' is showing these VMs are already with the target availibity_zone name. No idea why we have this inconsistency. Would it be ok to just update database table entry directly to set 'availility_zone' to different value for these VMs? Or there might be better alternatives I am not aware of? Thanks, Hai

[election][tc] TC Candidacy
by Ghanshyam Mann 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Hello Everyone, I would like to announce my candidacy for another term on the Technical Committee. First of all, thanks for giving me the opportunity as the Technical Committee member in the previous terms. Apart from TC activities, I am currently a core developer in QA projects and Nova. Also, helping project-config, OpenStack zuul-jobs, Tempest plugins for bug fixes/ Tempest compatibility and in the policy-popup team to make Openstack API policy more consistent and secure. And helping with community-wide goals; because we did not have any community-wide goals for the Xena cycle, I worked on finishing the previous cycles' pending goals. I am serving as TC chair in Xena cycle. TC directions have always been valuable and help to maintain the common standards in OpenStack. In my next term, I would like to continue doing cross-project teams work to solve OpenStack's common problems. Helping secure RBAC with Lance is one of my priority targets for the Yoga cycle, and we are also proposing that as a community-wide goal. Another area I would like to focus on improving TC interaction with community leaders and Board. Apart from that, I will continue working on the activities I am currently doing as TC and help the community grow. Thank you for reading and considering my candidacy. - Ghanshyam Mann (gmann)

[tripleo] Changing TripleO's release model
by Wesley Hayutin 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Greetings TripleO community! At the most recent TripleO community meetings we have discussed formally changing the OpenStack release model for TripleO [1]. The previous released projects can be found here [2]. TripleO has previously released with release-type[‘trailing’, ‘cycle-with-intermediary’]. To quote the release model doc: ‘Trailing deliverables trail the release, so they cannot, by definition, be independent. They need to pick between cycle-with-rc <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-rc> or cycle-with-intermediary <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-int…> models.’ We are proposing to update the release-model to ‘independent’. This would give the TripleO community more flexibility in when we choose to cut a release. In turn this would mean less backporting, less upstream and 3rd party resources used by potentially some future releases. To quote the release model doc: ‘Some projects opt to completely bypass the 6-month cycle and release independently. For example, that is the case of projects that support the development infrastructure. The “independent” model describes such projects.’ The discussion here is to merely inform the greater community with regards to the proposal and conversations regarding the release model. This thread is NOT meant to discuss previous releases or their supported status, merely changing the release model here [3] [0] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tripleo-meeting-items [1] https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html [2] https://releases.openstack.org/teams/tripleo.html [3] https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/xena

[release] Release countdown for week R-6, Aug 23 - Aug 27
by Herve Beraud 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

In last week's email we erroneously announced that this week (August 19) would be the deadline for all non-client libraries, while only Oslo libraries were concerned. See this email for updated dates. 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 August 26. Only bugfixes releases will be allowed beyond this point. When requesting those library releases, you can also include the stable/xena 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" (Sept 2nd) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services), which observe a Feature freeze on that same date, September 2nd. 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/xena branches, this would be a good point for teams to review membership in their xena-stable-maint groups. Once the stable/xena branches are cut for a repo, the ability to approve any necessary backports into those branches for xena 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: August 26 (R-6 week) Client library freeze: September 2nd (R-5 week) Xena-3 milestone: September 2nd (R-5 week) Cycle Highlights Due: September 2nd (R-5 week) Xena final release: October 6th Yeti PTG: October 18-22 -- Hervé Beraud Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat irc: hberaud https://github.com/4383/ https://twitter.com/4383hberaud

[sahara] Sahara maintenance - PTL vacancy and call for contributions
by Jeremy Freudberg 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Hi, I've worked on Sahara for a long time, especially since the Mirantis folks left. I implemented many features and fixes from 2017 through 2019 but barely anything more recently. Now it is time for me to actually move on. I don't plan to be PTL in the upcoming cycle. Sahara is not in especially good shape, given the situation with the vendors and other neglect. Help is needed, in order for Sahara to continue as a useful project. As of now I am not aware of anyone to fill the PTL role or generally contribute to the project. If you use Sahara and have interest in maintaining it, please reach out. Thanks, Jeremy

[murano][tc] Project Retirement
by Mohammed Naser 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi folks, Today, at the TC weekly meeting, it was brought up that Murano was not very active over the past few years and most likely has had a major amount of bitrot. The community is not able to reach the current PTL of the project either. Personally, I think that at this point, Murano is a bit past it's time. We've got a lot more developments in application deployment nowadays, OpenStack offers things like Magnum to get a Kubernetes cluster which you can run workloads on via Helm, or projects like Zun offer serverlerss containers directly, making a lot of what Murano used to do not so helpful in the current landscape. I'm sending this email to discuss/propose the idea of retiring the project. Regards, Mohammed -- Mohammed Naser VEXXHOST, Inc.

[nova][qa][infra] Adding no_timer_check to the kernel command line of our CI images
by Lee Yarwood 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hello all, For a while now we've been attempting to track down some infrequent but annoying Tempest test cleanup failures in CI when detaching volumes from an instance. Finally after rewriting part of the Tempest logic controlling the cleanup we've been able to confirm that this is being caused by a kernel panic within the instance at boot time as documented in the following bug: Failure to detach volume during Tempest test cleanup due to APIC related kernel panic within the guest OS https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1939108 This had been previously found in 2014 but at the time a fix was only proposed to Nova that would solve this when using a supplied kernel image: cirros 0.3.1 fails to boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/cirros/+bug/1312199 Use no_timer_check with soft-qemu https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/96090 Most (all?) of our CI currently running with [libvirt]virt_type=qemu uses the full Cirros 0.5.2 image. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way of modifying the image(s) we use in CI to use the no_timer_check kernel command line arg? Thanks in advance, -- Lee Yarwood A5D1 9385 88CB 7E5F BE64 6618 BCA6 6E33 F672 2D76

[puppet] Propose retiring puppet-monasca
by Takashi Kajinami 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hello, tl;dr If nobody is interested in fixing bug 1930553, then I'll propose retiring puppet-monasca during this cycle. A few months ago, I found an issue[1] with puppet-monasca and it turned out that the module is not compatible with the recent puppet-python. The module still relies on python::virtualenv which was removed in puppet-python 6.0. Currently the gate was unblocked by pinning puppet-python to an older version but we should remove that pin at some point. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/puppet-monasca/+bug/1930553 However, fixing the problem requires relatively large refactoring, and I'm afraid we(at least, I) don't have enough resources for that. The main challenge is that we have no functional tests in our CI jobs now to validate the fix in puppet-monasca. I checked the commit history of this module but I don't see any meaningful change made for several years. If nobody is interested in maintaining the module and fixing the problem then I'd propose retiring the module. I'll wait for any feedback for a week, then decide whether I'll submit actual patches to retire the repo. Thank you, Takashi

Dears, I have been making sure Masakari is alive and well during the last 2 cycles (Wallaby and Xena). I have also ensured Masakari's smooth release at the end of its Victoria cycle before that. I also contribute to the Kolla project which is able to deploy Masakari with its monitors and the required Pacemaker stack. I plan to continue my work around the project, focusing on improving the reliability of and community confidence in Masakari by ensuring we align with the rest of the OpenStack, run meetings, have complete, healthy and robust gating, triage bugs, handle the mailing list, and improve our docs and contribution transparency. -yoctozepto

[neutron][elections] PTL non candidacy for Y cycle
by Slawek Kaplonski 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi, It's been great 2 years for me when I had an honor to serve as Neutron PTL - yeah, time flies :) It has been pleasure to work with all of You on the Neutron project. We did a lot of great things during that time. But now, as I said in my last nomination [1], I'm not going to candidate for being PTL in the Yoga cycle. I think it's good for the project to have new leader every few cycles. That brings fresh ideas and new energy to the project. If You would be interested in that, to which I encourage anyone, and maybe have any questions, feel free to reach out to me in any way (irc, email, etc.). I will be more than happy to answer all Your questions. As for me, I'm not going anywhere. I'm still going to work on Neutron as I did so far. I will be of course very happy to help new PTL if that will be needed :) Once again thank You all for all Your help and supporting me in that role in the last 2 years and good luck to our new PTL!

[masakari] Compute service with name XXXXX not found.

Hi, I have some problem with masakari. I can create segment (from CLI and Horizon), but can't create host (the same result from Horizon and CLI). openstack segment host create XXXXX COMPUTE SSH segment_id returns BadRequest: Compute service with name XXXXX could not be found. XXXXX is the name which Horizon suggest, and it's a name of compute host. openstack compute service list returns proper list with state up/enabled on compute hosts (zone nova) Maybe I misunderstood some parameters of host create? As "type" I use COMPUTE, what value should it be? From "Binary" column of openstack compute service list? What is "control_attributes" field, because documentation lacks preceise information what value should be there and what is it use for. Tried to found some info on this error but I haven't found anything... Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards Adam Tomas

List admins/ Members, I am new to openstack, so I subscribed to the openstack-discuss mailing list in my best belief that this is the right place for a newbe to ask doubts and post errors which occurs during my learning stage with Openstack. If this is not the right place to seek help/ ask about doubts regarding openstack kindly direct me to the right place. What ever mails I am sending to openstack-discuss(a)lists.openstack.org not even publishing to the mailing lists. last two weeks I have sent 5 to 6 emails with various errors I got while importing VMs from other hypervisors to OpenStack. I posted to openstack-discuss(a)lists.openstack.org but none of them got response from list members. Iam afraid that my emails are going to Spam or am I not in the right place sending those emails? kindly correct me if I am wrong. Best regards, Kris

[election][Neutron]PTL candidacy for Yoga
by Lajos Katona 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

Hello Openstack Community, I write to submit my candidacy for the Neutron PTL position during the Yoga cycle. I have worked with Openstack since Grizzly in downstream projects, and as a fulltime upstream developer from Rocky. I mostly focused on Neutron, but worked with testing, CI and even added some networking features to Horizon. I work for Ericsson, who brings in interesting TelCo needs and experiences, like trunks or bandwidth aware scheduling. In Ericsson I worked not only as developer, but as team lead and team coach, that gave me opportunity to view things from different perspectives and help teams to solve issues together. I tried to keep Neutron stadium projects alive and maintained, actively participated in Neutron meetings and in activities like the scheduled bug deputy weeks. In the last cycles the Neutron community was stable, and worked together as a real team, and was the best experience of my professional life to work with them and learn every day new things. As I see the team was able to create a kind of gravitation that encouraged developers from around the world to report their bugs, propose their fixes and new ideas to networking projects. My priorities as PTL are the following: * Keep Neutron's stadium ecosystem alive and healthy. In Xena we moved tap-as-a-service back to stadium, and there's even new features arriving to make some of them work with OVN. Continue this effort to keep Neutron as a natural API and code base for many projects. * The team has strong tradition to focus on CI with dedicated weekly meeting, eyes on jobs' results and increasing test coverage. Continue these efforts to make Neutron CI more stable and capable of giving fast and reliable feedback to developers. * In the last cycles OVN became one of Neutron's in-tree backends, and now it is used as default backend in Openstack CI. There's a continuous effort to remove the gaps between ML2/OVS and OVN (see: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/ovn/gaps.html) some of these already have owner (like QoS Minimum Bandwidth allocation with Placement, or BGP), this effort should be continued. * Neutron team is quite healthy, but I want to onboard developers from other companies to keep the influx of people and ideas. * In the last cycles the performance improvements were always on the written or unconscious TODO list of the team (like enginefacade-switch, or this cycle's efforts from Oleg and other Huawei developers). Like CI, performance improvements and monitoring should be a continuous effort. * Continue the ongoing implementation for feautres like new QoS rules (pps limit and minimum pps), and new l3 related features. Thank you for your time and consideration. Lajos Katona (lajoskatona)

[ironic] Departure from full-time work on the project
by Jay Faulkner 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Hello everyone, As mentioned in the Ironic IRC meeting, I will no longer be working full time on OpenStack Ironic after this week. It is my intention to continue reviewing code for a small amount of time on the weekends until my context around the project becomes too stale. Working on OpenStack Ironic has been the greatest adventure of my career so far, but I'll mostly remember all the nice people I met along the way. Thanks, Jay Faulkner
