[masakari] Add a rpc api for ping check
by do-gyun kim 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

Similar to Nova, I think it would be good to add ping api to masakari engine for rpc health check. This can be used for reading business and lifestyle check in Masakari distributed to Kubernetes through OpenStack Helm. Currently, there is no health check for masakari-engine in openstack-helm project, but it would be good to add it. Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/masakari/+spec/add-a-rpc-api-for-ping

[openstack-client|keystone] API calling behavior for fetching by id or name
by Niklas Schwarz 18 Aug '25

18 Aug '25

Hey there I have observed that the keystone logs are flooded with error messages and a stack trace that resources are not found. When investigating on the issue I noticed that the resources do exist but the behavior of the openstack-client is a bit confusing. I will describe the behavior for the openstack-client in the interaction with the kestone api. As know the openstack-cli which uses the openstack-client has the functionality to show a user either by passing an id or the name of the user. The requests when executing the command with the name of the user will be 1. v3/user/<name_or_id> - v3/user?name=<name_or_id> The first request is issued to the endpoint which expects the rout parameter to be an id of the user and in the case of the keystone api a db query is executed with the name as an id and no user will be found which results in the log message and the stack trace in the keyston logs. Because no user was found the openstack-client issues a second request to the api with the name as a query-parameter instead of a rout-parameter which will issue the db-query at the keystone api to search by the username. On some deployments this can and will be additional load on the database and on the api which can be reduced just by sending the correct request to the api instead of "guessing" and trying for the correct request and hoping there will be an answer. The issue with keystone is that the openstack-client will issue also requests to the keystone api when listing, e.g. networks but only for a specific project (openstack network list --project <name_or_id>). The client will first search for the project and in the worst case these are two requests. In my opinion this behavior can be prevented to send multiple requests to the keystone api (or any other api), either by checking on the client if a the passed parameter is an id or by handling the passed route-parameter accordingly in the keystone api and executing the correct db-query to prevent multiple requests. I have decided on implementing a change [1] on the client side and have adjusted the openstack-client. As artem pointed out in the review that in some services there are places where the id cannot be really identified as such I wanted to ask/I was asked to discuss the issue on the mailing list since there might be multiple projects involved in such a change to reduce the calls to the api (when handling on the client side) or db (when handling on the server side) when a search by an id or name is issued. Are there an plans on tackling this issue or any other options and opinions? The post by marc [2] might also be a result of the openstack-client issuing multiple requests to the api and polluting the logs. So in some cases this is a realy issue.

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-6)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 18 Aug '25

18 Aug '25

Hello Stackers, We're six weeks away from the release date for the 2025.2 "Flamingo" release [1]. We will observe a feature freeze for this release on August 28th. Nominations for TC and PTL elections are due by August 20th at 23:45 UTC [2]. Please remember that you must be a member of the OpenInfra Foundation to contest these elections. The OIF's recent move under the Linux Foundation meant that any prior member is not automatically considered a member unless they accept this change by renewing their membership [3]. To run as a Project Team Lead, one must also have contributed to the project in the one-year period prior to the nomination deadline. We check this by matching the data between the candidate's OIF profile and their contributions on Gerrit. I understand that several well-meaning candidacies could hit roadblocks because of these requirements. We'd be happy to respond to concerns in the #openstack-election channel on OFTC. Ghanshyam Maan (gmaan), a long-serving member of the TC, would like to take a break and will not be contesting the upcoming elections. I'd like to thank him for his many years of service on the TC, including as its chair. I'm excited to see other community members step up to join the TC in his stead. In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee worked with several project teams (Oslo, Requirements, Release Management, Freezer, and Ironic) to reaffirm their distributed leadership model and confirm their liaisons for the upcoming release. We also made some progress on retiring repositories owned by the Monasca project team. The governance proposal [4] to that effect is under the community's review. The community is requested to review the proposed runtime (Python versions and Linux distributions) update for the Gazpacho/2026.1 release cycle [5]. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee was hosted in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel on August 12th, 2025 [6]. We checked on the progress of retiring the Monasca project team. We also discussed the retirement of the refstack-server in the opendev namespace, noting that while the server has been deleted, a desire remains within the community for a lightweight "certification" process to promote interoperability among providers. However, no one has yet committed to leading this effort. If you're reading this and are interested in working on this, please chime in on this list, or within the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. The conversation then shifted to the health of the gate and the future supported runtimes [5]. Infra administrators noted that the OpenMetal provider is back online in Zuul and that they are working on adding Debian Trixie and dropping older content like Xenial. As for the runtime for Gazpacho, there was a detailed discussion about dropping Python 3.10 and Ubuntu 22.04, with a consensus to drop the latter but a more cautious approach to Python 3.10, which will remain a minimum supported version for now. The group also agreed to include Python 3.13 as a maximum supported version, as recent bug fixes in eventlet make it viable for testing. The next meeting of the TC is today, August 19th, 2025, at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted over IRC, in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. Please find the meeting's agenda in the wiki [7]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open For Review ==== - Reset watcher project leadership from DPL back to PTL | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956913 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 - Define testing runtime for 2026.1 release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/957199 - Retire Monasca project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-08-20: Nominations close for OpenStack elections: - 2025-08-26: OpenInfra Days, Korea: https://2025.openinfradays.kr/ - 2025-08-28: Feature Freeze deadline, Milestone-3 of the Flamingo release [1] - 2025-08-29: Colombia OpenInfra User Group Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/colombia-openinfra-user-group/events/307096751/ - 2025-09-09: OIF Board Monthly meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-10-17: OpenInfra Summit, Paris-Saclay: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/ Thank you very much for reading!

[release] Release countdown for week R-6, Aug 18 - 22
by Elõd Illés 15 Aug '25

15 Aug '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 August 21st, 2025. Only bugfixes releases will be allowed beyond this point. When requesting those library releases, you can also include the stable/2025.2 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" (August 28th, 2025) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services), which observe a Feature freeze on that same date, August 28th, 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/2025.2 branches, this would be a good point for teams to review membership in their $project-stable-maint groups. Once the stable/2025.2 branches are cut for a repo, the ability to approve any necessary backports into those branches for 2025.2 "Flamingo" 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 21st, 2025 (R-6 week) Client library freeze: August 28th, 2025 (R-5 week) Flamingo-3 milestone: August 28th, 2025 (R-5 week) Cycle Highlights Due: September 4th, 2025 (R-4 week) 2025.2 "Flamingo" final release: October 1st, 2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe: October 17th-19th, 2025 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release

[PTL][Nova][Swift][Cyborg][Keystone][Neutron][Horizon][Skyline] OpenStack for AI Whitepaper: August 14 Meeting Recording & Recap
by Kendall Nelson 15 Aug '25

15 Aug '25

Hello Everyone! Thank you again to those that were in attendance today and also those that have already been contributing to the whitepaper! We are making some solid progress. For those that weren't able to make it, in today's meeting we did another walkthrough of the working document and outline with the new subsection additions <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NjxIyWF6aUFg0jb0HewX1JmOyploYV5Dxe3j1Lt…>. I talked a little bit about inclusion of specific images that have been added and that I am trying to keep up with comments and questions in the doc. I also reiterated our timeline (trying to have all the content largely drafted by September 1) and a reminder that providing a reference architecture is open to all OpenInfra Platinum, Gold and Silver members and that case studies can be provided by OpenInfra Platinum and Gold members for inclusion in the whitepaper. The deadline for both reference archs and case studies is September 19th. If you know you will not make the deadline please reach out to us ahead of time and we can try to make accommodations, but largely after that date we will not be able to include additions due to website building and other planning that will be the final phase before publication at the OpenInfra Summit Europe. You can watch the recording of today's meeting here <https://zoom.us/rec/share/JSacqoVVH9hmBriq9XRM69IyxCoRWnNykQj5T0GScln85SDP4…> . WRT OpenStack teams, I want to call out some of the comments and sections in the doc: We are in need of your perspective! I had added some of the PTLs directly in comments, but anyone from any project team is welcome to get involved in the whitepaper. Generally the projects I tagged in the subject line of this email are ones we would love content from, but if there are others that should be or want to be included, we can figure that out as well. As always if you have any questions, please feel free to drop them here or in the working doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NjxIyWF6aUFg0jb0HewX1JmOyploYV5Dxe3j1Lt…>, or generally on the ML. As another reminder, next week will be an asych check in. I look forward to seeing more of your content in the doc by then! Thank you everyone for your effort and collaboration! -- Kendall Nelson *Senior Upstream Developer Advocate* The OpenInfra Foundation <https://openinfra.dev/>

[nova] Image Encryption patch
by Josephine Seifert 15 Aug '25

15 Aug '25

Hi nova folks, We worked on the LUKS-based image encryption and the patches Cinder and Glance are in a good state now + we also have tempest tests. Here you can see the overall state: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22LUKS-image-encryption%22 There is one patch in nova, which adresses an issue with keys for the encrypted image/volume being either used directly or being hexlified beforehand. We would be really happy if you could review this nova patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/926326 So we can hopefully finish our work on the Image encryption. greetings Josephine (Luzi)

[Neutron][VPNaaS] VPN service/router stays PENDING_CREATE - 2024.2 Dalmatian
by Shubham Yadav 15 Aug '25

15 Aug '25

Hello, On OpenStack Dalmatian, creating a second IPsec site connection on the same VPN service/router remains stuck in PENDING_CREATE indefinitely. Environment: OpenStack services in Kubernetes (OpenStack-Helm style) Neutron L3 agent with VPNaaS (strongSwan driver) L3 agent hosts the router as master, VPNaas enabled Observed: Works: First IPsec connection renders in ipsec.conf / ipsec.secrets and comes up. Fails (Dalmatian): Adding a second connection on the same VPN service/router: Status: PENDING_CREATE (no progress) No L3/VPNaas logs for the event, no strongSwan activity No config changes in /var/lib/neutron/ipsec/<router_uuid>/etc/ Control test: Switching only the L3 agent container to a Zed image in the same environment → second connection renders immediately and tunnel comes up. Repro Steps: Create router + VPN service. Create IKE/IPsec policies. Create first site connection (OK). Create second site connection (different peer, same VPN service/router). Expected: Second connection renders a new conn in ipsec.conf, appends secret, and comes up. Actual (Dalmatian): No rendering, stuck PENDING_CREATE, no processing logs. This seems like a Dalmatian regression in L3/VPNaas handling of multiple connections per VPN service. waiting for a reply Best regards, Shubham

[nova] compute's reaction to finding unmanaged VMs
by Bence Romsics 14 Aug '25

14 Aug '25

Hi Nova Team, How does Nova relate to having unmanaged libvirt VMs alongside VMs managed by nova-compute? Is this considered supported, unsupported, or somewhere in between? I know about the warning in [1] and the compute startup time exception in [2]. Colleagues working on a major OpenStack version uplift in a downstream OpenStack distro started encountering the above exception. This distro utilizes some non-Nova-managed VMs (in particular, to orchestrate the OpenStack deployment itself). To reduce the deployment footprint, these VMs are co-located with Nova-managed VMs. AFAIU, this exception was introduced by the stable-compute-uuid blueprint [3]. With that in mind, I found this behavior: * Before the blueprint was implemented, Nova only logged a warning if it found an unmanaged VM. * After stable-compute-uuid, the compute service refuses to start in the same case. * If I make sure that the stable UUID is already present, then it seems to fall back to the earlier warning-only behavior. If I let nova-compute create the stable UUID itself, this leads to somewhat surprising behavior: * If nova-compute finds an unmanaged VM during its first startup, it refuses to start. * If it finds an unmanaged VM only during its second (or subsequent) startup (when the stable UUID has already been generated), it starts and logs a warning only. This made me think that the distro should pre-generate the compute UUID. Then I found in the stable-compute-uuid blueprint (and in the docs [4]) that this approach is clearly supported. It seems the compute service does not look at the metadata present in the libvirt domain definitions, and I started wondering why. AFAICT, the exception introduced by the stable-compute-uuid blueprint only really applies if Nova finds VMs that contain Nova metadata but are unknown to the compute service starting up. And this line of thought led me to my original question and these: * Could/should nova-compute inspect the metadata of libvirt VMs at startup and act differently if an unexpected VM has (or doesn’t have) Nova metadata? Would this be considered a meaningful Nova feature? Or should the distro just pre-generate the stable UUID and ignore the warning (as it did before the blueprint)? * Does Nova currently not look at the libvirt domain definition metadata simply because nobody has implemented this yet? Or is there another reason? * Is it considered supported (and to what level) to have non-Nova-managed VMs co-located with Nova-managed VMs? Thanks in advance, Bence Romsics (rubasov on irc) [1] https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/54b65d5bf2b23fa8a4612fd3adddc8751192… [2] https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/54b65d5bf2b23fa8a4612fd3adddc8751192… [3] https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/2023.1/implemented/s… [4] https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/compute-node-identification.ht…

[horizon][cinder] service type block-storage not activated
by Eugen Block 13 Aug '25

Hi all, during further testing of my upgraded Epoxy cloud (before upgrading our production cloud) I noticed this error message in the browser console when analyzing the response times with the dev tools: > Possibly unhandled rejection: Diensttyp ist nicht aktiviert: block-storage "Diensttyp ist nicht aktiviert" translates to "service type is not activated". But looking at the service versions, there is an entry for "block-storage": root@controller01:~# openstack versions show | grep storage Could not load 'message_list': module 'zaqarclient.queues.v2.cli' has no attribute 'OldListMessages' Could not load 'message_post': module 'zaqarclient.queues.v2.cli' has no attribute 'OldPostMessages' | RegionOne | block-storage | 3.0 | CURRENT | https://controller.domain:8776/v3/ | 3.0 | 3.71 | I remembered this thread [0] and read it again, but I'm still insecure if I need to change anything or not. Our production cloud has been created around 10 years ago, so I'm pretty sure there are many legacy things one could clean up. But could anyone please clarify if something is missing here or not? Or is it a red herring in horizon? I'd really appreciate any pointers! Thanks! Eugen [0] https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack…

[nova][elections][ptl] Application for the PTL role 2026.1
by René Ribaud 13 Aug '25

13 Aug '25

Hello, I am announcing my new candidacy for the PTL role for Nova and Placement. Serving as PTL in the Flamingo cycle was both a rewarding and instructive experience. It allowed me to learn the responsibilities and workload of the role, build stronger connections across the community, and help contributors move their work forward. In the next cycle, I want to continue fostering a welcoming and collaborative environment for all contributors. I will continue and improve our efforts to enhance bug triage, reduce the number of open bugs, and support timely reviews to help features progress toward completion. I am also eager to follow and participate in the Eventlet removal effort, which began in Flamingo and represents a major step for OpenStack. This is a particularly interesting challenge—not highly visible to most users, but crucial for the long-term health, performance, and maintainability of the project. My main focus, and the most important thing to me, will remain ensuring that Nova and Placement stay robust, maintainable, and aligned with our users’ needs. Thank you for your trust so far, I’d be happy to continue serving in this role. Thanks, René

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-7)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 11 Aug '25

11 Aug '25

Hello Stackers, We're two weeks away from a feature freeze across all projects following a "cycle-with-rc" release model [1]. This is a significant release milestone, and OpenStack project teams are hard at work on code review iterations to meet this deadline. In the past week, we kicked off elections for the next crop of OpenStack Project Team Leads as well as for four seats on the OpenStack Technical Committee [2]. These leadership positions are voluntary and form the bedrock of our community's principle of "Open Community" [3]. There is a long tradition of mentoring contributors to take on these important roles, and each comes with a unique opportunity to learn, impact OpenStack software, and give back to the community. If you're considering nominating yourself but need assistance, please do not hesitate to pop into #openstack-tc on OFTC and ask questions. The nomination period closes on August 20th. As far as governance updates are concerned, the OpenStack TC defined affiliation diversity within its charter and began the process of affirming liaisons for various projects following the "distributed project leadership" model of governance [4]. We also began the process of retiring the Monasca project team and its various deliverables. I'll keep you posted on the progress in the coming weeks. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee was held simultaneously on Meetpad [5] and IRC [6]. Attendance was low due to summer break in various parts of the northern hemisphere where members hail from. We discussed how the Monasca retirement process will proceed. We also discussed the runtime update for the 2026.1 "Gazpacho" release, specifically the Python version to be supported. Debian 13 (Trixie) is set to release with Python 3.13, which is a key factor in our decision-making. Initial smoke tests on a Trixie devstack-integration test job appear promising. We addressed some concerns regarding the TC charter change regarding organizational affiliation. We also reviewed the gate's health, with recent reports of Debian job failures attributed to stale mirrors and cluster maintenance. We discussed the progress on the SRBAC community goal. There are several projects that have not yet completed Phase 1. We'll be following up on this during this week. We reminded folks that the OpenStack User Survey for 2025 is open and will close at the end of this month [7]. Please take the survey and spread the word. OpenStack project teams would appreciate feedback through the survey, and we are looking to discuss the results at the PTG in October. The next meeting of the TC is today, August 12, 2025, at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted simultaneously over IRC, in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. Please find the meeting's agenda in the wiki [8]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Define "affiliation" within the context of the TC | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956024 - Add Extra ACs for governance repositories | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956836 - os-test-images never releases | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/954249 - Add series names to runtimes doc | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/955810 - Fix project_stats_check script | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/955108 ==== Open for review ==== - Reset freezer project leadership from DPL back to PTL | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956918 - Reset oslo project leadership from DPL back to PTL | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956912 - Freezer - remove information about Disaster Recovery | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/941893 - Reset Release Management project leadership from DPL back to PTL | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956916 - Reset watcher project leadership from DPL back to PTL | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956913 - Reset requirements project leadership from DPL back to PTL | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956915 - Remove Monasca from active project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-08-20: Nominations close for OpenStack elections - 2025-08-26: OpenInfra Days, Korea: https://2025.openinfradays.kr/ - 2025-08-28: Feature Freeze deadline, Milestone-3 of the Flamingo release [1] - 2025-08-29: Colombia OpenInfra User Group Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/colombia-openinfra-user-group/events/307096751/ - 2025-10-17: OpenInfra Summit, Paris-Saclay: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/ === How to Contact the TC === You can reach the TC in several ways: - Email: send an email with the tag [tc] on this mailing list. - Ping us using the 'tc-members' keyword on the #openstack-tc IRC channel on OFTC. - Join us at our weekly meeting: The Technical Committee meets every week on Tuesdays at 1700 UTC [8].

Inquiry: Integrating Tungsten Fabric with Neutron in Kolla Ansible 2023.1
by Thamanna Farhath 08 Aug '25

08 Aug '25

Hello OpenStack Community, We are currently using OpenStack Kolla Ansible (2023.1 release). As part of our networking design, we are evaluating the possibility of integrating Tungsten Fabric (TF) with Neutron. I would like to clarify the following points: Compatibility – Does the Kolla Ansible 2023.1 version officially support integration with Tungsten Fabric? Reference Material – If supported, could you please suggest any official documentation, blogs, or reference implementations that describe the integration process? Integration Guidance – What would be the recommended approach for integrating TF with Neutron in a Kolla-based deployment? Are there any specific configuration patterns or community best practices we should follow? Necessity – In the context of building a public cloud, is Tungsten Fabric integration considered mandatory for production-grade networking, or can similar functionality be achieved with the default Neutron backends (e.g., OVN/OVS)? We are currently at the early stages of our deployment plan and can make architectural changes before the release. Any guidance, experiences, or resources from the community will be highly valuable for our decision-making process. Thank you in advance for your support.

[release] Release countdown for week R-7
by Thierry Carrez 08 Aug '25

08 Aug '25

Development Focus ----------------- We are entering the last weeks of the 2025.2 "Flamingo" development cycle. From now until the final release, we'll send a countdown email like this every week. It's probably a good time for teams to take stock of their library and client work that needs to be completed yet. The non-client library freeze is coming up, followed closely by the client lib freeze. Please plan accordingly to avoid any last minute rushes to get key functionality in. General Information ------------------- Next week is the Extra-AC freeze, in preparation for elections. All contributions to OpenStack are valuable, but some are not expressed as Gerrit code changes. Please list active contributors to your project team who do not have a code contribution this cycle, and therefore won't automatically be considered an Active Contributor and allowed to vote. This is done by adding extra-acs to https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/projec… before the Extra-AC freeze on August 14. A quick reminder of the upcoming freeze dates. Those vary depending on deliverable type: * Oslo libraries are entering feature freeze next week, August 14. * General libraries (except client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Non-client library freeze (August 21). Their stable branches are cut early. * Client libraries (think python-*client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Client library freeze (August 28) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services) observe a Feature freeze on that same date, August 28. Any feature addition beyond that date should be discussed on the mailing list and get PTL approval. After feature freeze, cycle-with-rc deliverables need to produce a first release candidate (and a stable branch) before RC1 deadline (September 12) * Deliverables following cycle-with-intermediary model can release as necessary, but in all cases before Final RC deadline (September 25) Finally, now is also a good time to start planning what highlights you want for your deliverables in the cycle highlights. The deadline to submit an initial version for those is set to one week after Feature freeze (September 4). Background on cycle-highlights: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-December/125613.html Project Team Guide, Cycle-Highlights: https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#cycle… jeremy [at] openstack.org/fungi on IRC is available if you need help selecting or writing your highlights. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Extra-AC freeze: August 14 (R-7 week) Oslo feature freeze: August 14 (R-7 week) Non-client library freeze: August 21 (R-6 week) Client library freeze: August 28 (R-5 week) Flamingo-3 milestone: August 28 (R-5 week) Cycle highlights deadline: September 4 (R-4 week) OpenInfra Summit Europe: October 17-19, 2025 -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

[watcher] Using watcher without standard Openstack telemetry projects
by Laurent Dumont 08 Aug '25

08 Aug '25

Hey folks! I am looking at Watcher for a possible integration with an Openstack cloud where : - The Openstack cloud does not have Gnocchi/Ceilometer or the STF from Red Hat. - I am able to get standard libvirt metrics from a compute. Before going too deep, if we assume that we can expose metrics using an OpenMetric/Prometheus format, can Watcher be fed these metrics? Thanks!

[tc][all][monasca] Retiring the Monasca project and repositories
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 07 Aug '25

07 Aug '25

Hello Stackers, We intend to retire the Monasca project [1] and all associated repositories [2]. The retirement is being proposed with the support and consent of the current core team members and the Project Team Lead (PTL) [3]. For context, the Monasca project team was marked as being inactive during the 2024.1 (Caracal) release cycle [4]. Since then, no sustained development activity has occurred. There have been no releases tagged for any of the deliverables owned by the team either, and there are no actively maintained stable branches. So, in accordance with the procedures in the OpenStack governance documentation [5], and based on the current state of the project, we propose the following repositories ahead of the 2025.2 ("Flamingo") coordinated release: - openstack/monasca-agent - openstack/monasca-api - openstack/monasca-common - openstack/monasca-events-api - openstack/monasca-log-api - openstack/monasca-notification - openstack/monasca-persister - openstack/monasca-specs - openstack/monasca-tempest-plugin - openstack/monasca-thresh - openstack/python-monascaclient - openstack/monasca-ui - openstack/monasca-transform - openstack/monasca-ceilometer - openstack/monasca-grafana-datasource - openstack/monasca-kibana-plugin - openstack/monasca-statsd Some of the current maintainers intend to fork the project and continue development independently for their purposes. This retirement does not preclude such efforts; nor does it prevent reviving the project after the retirement. If there are any objections to retiring the project, please respond to this thread. In the event there is interest in continuing Monasca within OpenStack, we would expect the project team to meet the requirements for active status [6] — including identifying a new PTL for the upcoming release cycle and demonstrating plans for sustained maintenance. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Monasca over the years. Thanks, On behalf of the OpenStack TC, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr) OpenStack TC Chair [1] https://docs.openstack.org/monasca-api/latest/ [2] https://github.com/openstack/governance/blob/624bb5bf124452eed475c9b6e62144… [3] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 [4] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/emerging-technology-and-inact… [5] https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/repository.html#retiring-a-re… [6] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/new-projects-requirements.html

[dev][designate] PSA: pkg_resources is broken with newer oslo wheels on Python 3.8
by Stephen Finucane 06 Aug '25

06 Aug '25

o/ A quick PSA for a topic has come up in a few different OpenStack forums of late. As described in a recently filed setuptools bug [1], the pkg_resources found in the most recent version of setuptools to support Python 3.8 does not correctly normalize package names passed to `pkg_resources.require`. This has become an issue of late because since earlier this year the OpenStack release tooling has started (correctly) normalizing filenames of the '.whl' files uploaded to PyPI (so e.g. 'oslo.messaging' now becomes 'oslo_messaging'). You are likely to see this manifest with weird errors like `The 'package.foo>=1.2.3' distribution was not found`, when you know that it is. I have seen it pop up because either (a) pkg_resources is being invoked via an explicit call, as in some of the release tooling used in `openstack/releases`, or (b) pkg_resources is being invoked via the auto-generated import headers added by setuptools when you use its legacy "scripts" keyword rather than newer "console scripts" replacement. The latter in particular is biting some projects indirectly due to Designate and Octavia incorrectly using this mechanism to work around the demise of wsgi_scripts, and I have fixes up waiting for review [2][3]. Just sharing in case some people have seen this, because it's quite a weird corner case to hit.

[Kolla][Epoxy] Potentially incorrect Debian backports repo in Epoxy container builds?
by Michael Still 06 Aug '25

06 Aug '25

Hello, yesterday I was having troubles building Kolla images for Epoxy. I'm building Debian based images, and the failures were related to the osbpo extrepo not always returning results. However, I noticed this line as part of that adventure: https://github.com/openstack/kolla/blob/stable/2025.1/docker/base/Dockerfil… Specifically, Kolla for Epoxy is using the Dalmatian extrepo: "extrepo enable openstack_dalmatian" Is this somehow intentional? If not, I'll send a patch to correct it to Epoxy. Thanks, Michael

about the server group GET API
by Jiatong Shen 06 Aug '25

06 Aug '25

Hello experts, I have a question about the server group GET rest API. I tried out the GET API and found it was pretty slow (around 200 servers returned in 8 seconds). By skimming through the codebase I am suspecting filtering out group members is heavy ( https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/4100d4d8fbaa6416ea37d8cb3e64003f40ee… ). So my question is do we clear out the instance_group_member table after deleting instances? If not, why could we not do it? Thank you very much for help. . -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen

[openstack-helm] GitOps Compatibility with ArgoCD
by aravindh.murugesan＠protonmail.com 05 Aug '25

05 Aug '25

Hello everyone, Hope you're all doing well. I’ve recently started exploring OpenStack-Helm to evaluate its suitability for our long-term needs, and one of the key aspects we’re considering is GitOps integration. While testing a deployment of the Keystone chart using ArgoCD, I noticed that the init container for Keystone waits for certain jobs (like db-init and bootstrap) to complete. However, ArgoCD doesn’t seem to trigger these jobs as expected—likely because it’s still waiting for the pods to become ready. I came across earlier discussions from Doug and Vlad around this topic during a previous PTG, but I wanted to bring it up again in case there have been any updates or ideas on making OpenStack-Helm charts more compatible with GitOps tools like ArgoCD or Flux. I really appreciate the effort and time that this community puts into maintaining and improving these charts. Any guidance or suggestions on how we might adapt this workflow would be incredibly helpful. Thanks so much in advance! Best regards, Aravindh

[kolla][barbican] Secure password management in Kolla-Ansible using Castellan
by elnazcloud＠gmail.com 05 Aug '25

05 Aug '25

Hi all, I have deployed an OpenStack environment using Kolla Ansible. I'm looking for a way to avoid storing service passwords (e.g., database, keystone, etc.) in clear text inside the configuration files. Is there any recommended method to integrate Barbican and Castellan so that services like Nova, Keystone, or Cinder can fetch secrets securely during runtime using oslo.config? If not natively supported, are there best practices or known workarounds for achieving this securely in a Kolla-based deployment? Thanks in advance!

[Zed][Neutron][OVN] Severe VM Network Performance Degradation Compared to Host
by Jeff Yang 05 Aug '25

05 Aug '25

Hi all, I'm running OpenStack Zed with OVN as the Neutron backend. I've encountered a severe VM network performance degradation issue and would appreciate any insights from the community. 🔹 **Environment** - OpenStack version: Zed - Neutron backend: OVN - Two VMs (each 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM) launched on two different compute nodes - Multi-queue is enabled on the VM vNICs 🔹 **Issue** The network performance inside the VMs is significantly worse than on the host nodes, with high packet retransmissions observed. 🔹 **Test results** **Host-to-Host (VTEP IPs)** ``` $ iperf3 -c 192.168.152.152 Connecting to host 192.168.152.152, port 5201 [ 5] local 192.168.152.153 port 45352 connected to 192.168.152.152 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 1.38 GBytes 11.8 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 1.37 GBytes 11.8 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 1.42 GBytes 12.2 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 1.39 GBytes 11.9 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 1.38 GBytes 11.8 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 1.43 GBytes 12.3 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 1.41 GBytes 12.1 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 1.41 GBytes 12.1 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 1.41 GBytes 12.1 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 1.42 GBytes 12.2 Gbits/sec 0 3.10 MBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 14.0 GBytes 12.0 Gbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.04 sec 14.0 GBytes 12.0 Gbits/sec receiver iperf Done. ``` **VM-to-VM (through overlay network)** ``` $ iperf3 -c 10.0.6.10 Connecting to host 10.0.6.10, port 5201 [ 5] local 10.0.6.37 port 56710 connected to 10.0.6.10 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 499 MBytes 4.19 Gbits/sec 263 463 KBytes [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 483 MBytes 4.05 Gbits/sec 467 367 KBytes [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 482 MBytes 4.05 Gbits/sec 491 386 KBytes [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 483 MBytes 4.05 Gbits/sec 661 381 KBytes [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 472 MBytes 3.95 Gbits/sec 430 391 KBytes [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 480 MBytes 4.03 Gbits/sec 474 350 KBytes [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 510 MBytes 4.28 Gbits/sec 567 474 KBytes [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 521 MBytes 4.37 Gbits/sec 565 387 KBytes [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 509 MBytes 4.27 Gbits/sec 632 483 KBytes [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 514 MBytes 4.30 Gbits/sec 555 495 KBytes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 4.84 GBytes 4.15 Gbits/sec 5105 sender [ 5] 0.00-10.05 sec 4.84 GBytes 4.14 Gbits/sec receiver iperf Done. ``` As you can see, there's a sharp drop in performance inside the VMs (from ~12 Gbps down to ~4 Gbps), with a lot of retransmissions in 10 seconds. Has anyone encountered a similar issue with OVN and VM networking performance? What could be the potential causes? Any suggestions or debugging tips are welcome. Thanks in advance! Best regards,

Hi Team We are currently having openstack-ansible Antelope (2023.1) release and have linux bridge currently. We are planning SLUP upgrades from Antelope to Caracal, and than from Caracal to Epoxy. Please confirm if we can still use linux bridge and continue with the upgrades or we need to mandatory move away from linux bridge as linux bridge is now experimental feature before doing the upgrades. We are planning to move away from linux bridge after upgrading to Epoxy release. Please let me know potential issues that can arise with this plan. Regards Rambo

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-8)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 04 Aug '25

04 Aug '25

Hello Stackers, We're eight weeks away from wrapping up the 2025.2 "Flamingo" release, and three weeks away from its feature freeze (August 28, 2025) [1]. Over the past week, no new governance changes were merged, but some new changes are undergoing community review. The nomination window for Project Team Leads and for four seats on the OpenStack Technical Committee begins on August 6, 2025 [2]. If you have any questions about the process, please post them on this mailing list or hop into #openstack-tc, #openstack-election, or #openstack-dev on OFTC and let's chat. This week, the TC is also looking to refresh the liaisons for projects governed by the "distributed-project-leadership" model—an opportunity for those teams to switch their governance styles, as well. === Weekly Meeting === The TC's weekly meeting focused on two major topics [3]: finalizing the definition of “affiliation” for TC election candidates and the next steps for retiring Monasca. On the affiliation front, we debated whether to reuse the OpenInfra bylaws language or simplify it for our needs. During the meeting, there was a consensus that the definition should focus on contributor intent and a visible employee-employer relationship without getting bogged down in legal technicalities. It's important to share our biases upfront for the sake of transparency and to strive toward the TC's affiliation diversity requirement. We are moving ahead with retiring the Monasca project. After earlier signals of interest in continuing maintenance, the project team now seems comfortable with retirement. The TC consulted this mailing list [4] to seek any further interest in the project. We'll work with the "unmaintained-core" group to clean up deliverables and code branches. We also touched on CI work to test OpenStack with Debian Bookworm and Trixie, which will help us make progress on the Eventlet removal community goal. Finally, a brief discussion ensued on OpenStack for AI, encouraging folks with architectural insight to join the Foundation's AI working group and its mailing list [5]. We wrapped with a shout out to the i18n interns and mentors for their recent progress [6]. The next weekly meeting of the TC is today, August 5, 2025, at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted simultaneously over Meetpad and IRC. Please find the meeting's agenda and call details in the wiki [7]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open for review ==== - Define "affiliation" within the context of the TC | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/956024 - Add series names to runtimes doc | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/955810 - Remove Monasca from active project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - os-test-images never releases | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/954249 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-08-06: Nominations open for OpenStack elections: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-08-20: Nominations close for OpenStack elections - 2025-08-26: OpenInfra Days, Korea: https://2025.openinfradays.kr/ - 2025-08-28: Feature Freeze deadline, Milestone-3 of the Flamingo release [1] - 2025-08-29: Colombia OpenInfra User Group Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/colombia-openinfra-user-group/events/307096751/ - 2025-10-17: OpenInfra Summit, Paris-Saclay: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/ Thank you very much for reading!

[qa] Proposing Sean and Tosky to Devstack core
by Ghanshyam Maan 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hello Everyone, I would like to propose adding sean-k-mooney and tosky to Devstack core team. Both have shown great knowledge and have been engaged with Devstack for a long time. Having them in the core group would help us to continue maintaining Devstack. Feel free to provide your thoughts. If there are no objections by next week, I plan to add them to the Gerrit group by Friday, August 8th. -gmaan

[Cinder] Cinder NetApp driver not working as expected on NVMe over TCP
by Vincent Godin 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hello, We have NetApp C800 arrays for our OpenStack. We have set up the Cinder configuration to use the "NVMe over TCP" protocol. We are currently seeing the following issue: - the volumes (namespaces) are correctly mounted on the hypervisors - the multipath (native) configuration is correctly handled by Cinder (this can be seen in the logs) - the volumes are only attached by a single path Looking at the NetApp driver code, and more specifically at the *nvme_library.py* file and the *initialize_connection* function, we find on line 724: portal = (target_portals[0], self.NVME_PORT, self.NVME_TRANSPORT) data = { "target_nqn": str(target_nqn), "host_nqn": host_nqn, "portals": [portal], "vol_uuid": namespace_uuid } conn_info = {"driver_volume_type": "nvmeof", "data": data} If we look at the values of the target_portals[ ], the array does indeed have all the paths available for the targeted subsystem. However, the function only returns the first path : target_portals[0] I'm not a developer, so I can't guarantee that this is the cause of the problems encountered. What is certain is that manually connecting the namespace with the nvme command does indeed yield all four paths. I'll leave the existing discussion thread that led me to this observation open. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vincent Godin <vince.mlist(a)gmail.com> 29 juil. 2025 15:53 (il y a 3 jours) À Rajat, Sean, openstack-discuss Hello, Here are some of the results on the host.

[Neutron] - General thoughts on tenancy network MTU
by Karl Kloppenborg 01 Aug '25

01 Aug '25

Hi Neutrinos, I was discussing with a colleague about our MTU settings within our Openstack regions, generally speaking we have a physnet_global_mtu of 1550 with tenancy networks automatically provisioned as 1500 VXLAN. This ends up with VM’s receiving DHCP MTU settings of 1500 which is fine, however reading about yesterday’s discussion on OVN performance, Nguyen’s recommendation was to enable Jumboframes. This got me thinking, what do you set your tenancy and phynet MTU’s to? Very interested to hear about your experiences with running 9k MTU’s on the VM networks etc, what impact this has on OVS/OVN routers and northbound connectivity being 1500. Thanks, Karl.

[scientific-sig][help] Research about private cloud
by Winicius Allan 31 Jul '25

31 Jul '25

Hi all! I'm about to write my final paper, and I want to research something related to OpenStack and private clouds. If someone wants to take the time to discuss the problems in your environment, I'd be very glad!What I had on my mind is: - There is something that could improve utilization and performance when the user is not charged about their use on a private cloud. - There is any process scheduling algorithm that could be used on specific workloads instead of Linux default scheduler that can improve application performance? I was thinking about using eBPF here. Best regards.
