[tc][election] gouthamr's TC Candidacy for 2026.2
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

Hello Stackers, I am submitting my candidacy for another term on the OpenStack Technical Committee. It's been two years since I was first elected, and I've served as TC Chair during this time. In these past two years, we've gotten some important things done: the CLA-to-DCO transition that our community asked for over a decade ago, extending the VMT's mandate to all project teams, setting clear expectations around project retirements and governance transitions, and consolidating our governance repositories. I'm proud of this work, and I'm running again because there's more to do. One thing that has become clear to me as Chair is that the people who keep OpenStack running by fixing gates, reviewing code across projects, reporting and triaging bugs, maintaining infrastructure and other myriad things don't get enough recognition for it. I'm hoping to change that by creating an objective, tangible way to acknowledge valuable contributions and enthuse our community to do more of this work. We are one of the largest open source projects in the world, and the community that's responsible for it is a bedrock needs constant care. I also want the TC to stay engaged with where cloud infrastructure is headed. OpenStack should be the free and open source choice for Sovereign Clouds and AI workloads. We'd do this not by chasing trends, but by ensuring our project teams are equipped and positioned for these use cases as they mature. On the governance side, I'll keep working to eliminate bottlenecks that slow our project teams down while maintaining the consistent maintenance model that has made our successful projects sustainable. The Technical Vision for OpenStack Clouds hasn't been modified in a while, and I'd like to help draft its next iteration. I'll take the opportunity to also include a process for evolving it. Lastly, two years on the TC have shown me how much we benefit from experienced, engaged leaders across our projects. I want to build mentoring pathways for future TC members, so our leadership pipeline is as durable as the software we produce. Thank you for your consideration.

[ci][nova][cinder][glance][devstack][swift] openstacksdk-functional-devstack job failing 100%
by melanie witt 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

Hey all, We noticed sometime today the openstacksdk-functional-devstack job appears to be failing 100% in multiple projects: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=openstacksdk-functiona… The failing openstacksdk test is test_add_remove_router_interface [1]: ft1.1: openstack.tests.functional.cloud.test_router.TestRouter.test_add_remove_router_interfacetesttools.testresult.real._StringException: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zuul/src/opendev.org/openstack/openstacksdk/openstack/tests/functional/cloud/test_router.py", line 232, in test_add_remove_router_interface self.assertIn(key, iface) File "/home/zuul/src/opendev.org/openstack/openstacksdk/.tox/functional/lib/python3.12/site-packages/testtools/testcase.py", line 425, in assertIn self.assertThat(haystack, Contains(needle), message) File "/home/zuul/src/opendev.org/openstack/openstacksdk/.tox/functional/lib/python3.12/site-packages/testtools/testcase.py", line 509, in assertThat raise mismatch_error testtools.matchers._impl.MismatchError: 'tenant_id' not in {'id': '57671080-6eb2-4c7f-9e64-c61edfa8995e', 'project_id': '1ef2e6c3fc2d4f6b92fdd8d49f0a05a1', 'port_id': '5b39bbfc-6d3d-440e-9c7a-e56e434ef897', 'network_id': '8aa6b6e2-e0c5-4f96-bb87-5509e30d340c', 'subnet_id': '6f52d8be-cf68-4552-b57d-37142cea65cc', 'subnet_ids': ['6f52d8be-cf68-4552-b57d-37142cea65cc']} which adds an interface to a router and expects the response parameter 'tenant_id' to be in the response. I looked for recently merged changes that could have possibly changed the router API response and it might be something similar to this change: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/972982 but I don't really understand if/how that could change the API. I'm not sure what the desired fix will be here, whether the API should be more backward compatible and/or if the openstacksdk test should be fixed by s/tenant_id/project_id/ or something else. Please hold your rechecks if CI has failed on your patch due to this. -melwitt [1] https://github.com/openstack/openstacksdk/blob/7afe210333ec236a14fc5fa2d4a5…

OpenStack Ops Radio Hour Survey - Timing, cadence and more
by Ildiko Vancsa 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

Hi All, I’m reaching out to you to draw your attention to the new OpenStack Ops Radio Hour Survey! As a reminder, the OpenStack Ops Radio Hour gathering is a meeting series in a casual setting for operators, engineers, and contributors to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on the complexities of managing and deploying OpenStack environments. The group organizers put together a survey to better understand what channels people use to learn about upcoming meetings, what topics they would be interested in discussing, and what timing and cadence would be most suitable for folks onwards. You can find the survey here: https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/openstack_ops_radio_hour_su… Your input is very important to make the gatherings as widely available and inclusive as possible! Please fill out the survey __by February 25, 2026.__ In the meantime, the next Ops Radio Hour is scheduled to happen on February 27th, 2026 at 1300UTC. You can find more information, agenda items and notes and recordings from previous meetings here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour Please let me know if you have any questions or run into any challenges with the survey. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó

[ci][kolla] setuptools v82.0.0 breaks a bunch of things by removing pkg_resources
by Michael Still 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

Hey all, I've just noticed that setuptools v82.0.0 released todayish and breaks a bunch of Kolla builds (and probably other things) by removing pkg_resources. https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#v82-0-0 has further details of the release. setuptools doesn't seem to be listed in upper-constraints, perhaps because it's often provided as a distro package?

How to access OpenStack instances from the bastion node when deploying OpenStack using Kolla-Ansible
by ussefelboukhari＠gmail.com 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

In test environments, some users choose to build their infrastructure inside KVM virtual machines, while others use cloud instances such as EC2 bare-metal that support nested virtualization. After deploying OpenStack, many of them face a major issue: they are unable to access their OpenStack instances. I encountered the same problem myself. After several weeks of intensive troubleshooting, I eventually found a solution. That is why I would like to share this solution with others who face the same issue, and hopefully contribute to the OpenStack community by providing recommendations that could be added to the official OpenStack documentation.

[nova][elections][ptl] Application for the PTL role 2026.2
by René Ribaud 11 Feb '26

11 Feb '26

Hello, After serving as PTL for Flamingo and Gazpacho, I would like to announce my candidacy for the 2026.2 (Hibiscus) Nova and Placement PTL role. The previous cycle was somewhat unusual, as upstream contributions from several core contributors were impacted by internal changes within their organizations. Despite this, the community stayed engaged and resilient, and I am grateful for everyone who kept things moving forward. The Eventlet removal effort, which started earlier and significantly progressed during Flamingo and Gazpacho, should reach completion this cycle. This will be an important milestone and will allow us to introduce new changes more confidently. In 2026.2, I would like to focus on enabling forward-looking work such as confidential computing improvements, restarting collaboration with Manila around virtiofs, and further I/O performance improvements. The concrete priorities and scope of these efforts will be discussed and refined during the next PTG. In parallel, I will continue to improve review efficiency and maintain a welcoming and focused community. My goal remains simple: keep Nova and Placement robust, maintainable, and aligned with our users’ needs. I would be honored to continue serving in this role. Thanks, René

[kolla-ansible][rabbitmq] RabbitMQ cluster creation took too long
by Nguyễn Hữu Khôi 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Hello. I am deploying OpenStack 2025.1 with Kolla-Ansible 2025.1 (master branch) using the latest images. However, when I created a RabbitMQ(4.0.x) cluster with 3 nodes, it took too long—around 12 minutes(it stucked at DB: virgin node -> run peer discovery). I then changed the images to RabbitMQ version 3.13.7, and it worked well. My OS: Ubuntu 24.01 Nguyen Huu Khoi

How to change flavor or sg of a virtual machine with Ansible?
by Marco Favero 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Hello, I'm new in this Openstack world and I love Ansible. I'm trying to use the openstack.cloud Ansible collection to manage virtual machines. There is no problems in adding or deleting a virtual machine (vm). The openstack.cloud.server module works very well. I'm in trouble if I want to update a vm. The server module has only the "present" state: the resource is not updated after the creation if I change something in the module parameters. So, I can't use openstack.cloud.server module in order to change the flavor or security group of an already existing vm. The "server_action" module is not useful because it has not update actions about sg or flavor. I tried the CRUD "resource" module in some way such as --- - name: Change resources hosts: localhost tasks: - name: Change flavor to vm openstack.cloud.resource: cloud: myStack service: compute type: server attributes: name: vm-name flavor_id: 22b4d2c2-0fff-437b-a67c-009244f89403 state: present wait: true but the play fails with fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "extra_data": {"data": null, "details": "Invalid input for field/attribute server. Value: {'flavorRef': '22b4d2c2-0fd8-437b-a67c-009244f89403'}. Additional properties are not allowed ('flavorRef' was unexpected)" If I try with "flavor" or "security_groups" attributes in place of "flavor_id" the error doesn't change. Could you help me? My env is: [root@cnt-ansible]/workdir/openstack# ansible-galaxy collection list | grep openstack openstack.cloud 2.5.0 [root@cnt-ansible]/workdir/openstack# pip3 list | grep openstack openstacksdk 4.9.0 ansible [core 2.16.14] Thank you very much Kind Regards Marco
