[watcher] Call for maintainers - MAAS integration
by Douglas Viroel 20 May '25

20 May '25

Hi everyone, At the last watcher's weekly meeting[1], the team discussed the impacts of the eventlet removal in Watcher's code, and it was brought up that the integration with MAAS (Metal As a Service) support is affected. At the moment, we do not have any active members in Watcher that have any experience with MAAS. CI also doesn't have any job running and testing this integration, and we don't have documentation of how it works. This is a call for maintainers interested in supporting MAAS in Watcher to help fill these gaps. It is worth mentioning that, as discussed in the PTG[2], we also plan to mark this integration as *experimental* once it does not provide minimal testing and documentation (this is also the case of other integrations). But we will cover this topic in a different thread.

[ops][neutron] Neutron-db-manage upgrade from Antelope to Bobcat fails with "foreign key constraint 'porthints_ibfk_1' are incompatible" error
by federica fanzago 20 May '25

20 May '25

Dear all, we are running an OpenStack deployment Yoga on AlmaLinux 9.5 and we are attempting the upgrade Openstack up to Caracal release, one release at time (Zed--Antelope--Bobcat--Caracal) The procedure we are following is to shut down all openstack services, to remove the "old" openstack release and to install the new one, upgrading all service databases. This procedure works well for Zed and Antelope, but during the installation of the Bobcat release, the Neutron database upgrade fails when creating the new "porthints" table. The command we are using is su -s /bin/sh -c "neutron-db-manage --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini upgrade head" neutron and the error message we receive is ... File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pymysql/err.py", line 107, in raise_mysql_exception raise errorclass(errno, errval) sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (pymysql.err.OperationalError) (3780, "Referencing column 'port_id' and referenced column 'id' in foreign key constraint 'porthints_ibfk_1' are incompatible.")

In this way, the upgrade works, but we encounter the same kind of problem during the upgrade to Caracal, specifically with the creation of the new table porthardwareoffloadtype. Have you already encountered this issue during the Neutron upgrade? Do you have any suggestions on how to upgrade the neutron DB, without manually creating new tables? Thanks a lot, cheers, Federica -- Federica Fanzago INFN Sezione di Padova Via Marzolo, 8 35131 Padova - Italy Tel: +39 049.967.7367 --

CEPH deployment method: cephadm vs puppet
by Francesco Di Nucci 20 May '25

20 May '25

Hi all, we're planning (finally) to setup a CEPH cluster to be used as OpenStack backend. The cloud is actually set up with Foreman+Puppet, to setup CEPH what would you advice? cephadm as it's the preferred method in the CEPH docs or Puppet with the puppet-ceph module, as it's part of openstack? Thanks in advance -- Francesco Di Nucci System Administrator Compute & Networking Service, INFN Naples Email: francesco.dinucci(a)na.infn.it

[magnum] April vPTG summary and Magnum meeting time change
by Dale Smith 19 May '25

19 May '25

Hello all, I wanted to post a short summary to this list of the vPTG[1] the Magnum team held on April 8th and 9th 2025. These are the topics and a summary of my notes from the discussions. If I missed key details please add these to the etherpad and/or reply here. Thank you all for attending. Please get in touch if the timing of the vPTG did not work for you, as we could propose multiple timezone slots in future. * Heat driver deprecation. o This driver is marked deprecated in Dalmation 2025.1, being replaced by either of the Cluster API drivers, and we discussed when and how we will remove it from Magnum codebase. o We are now looking at removing the Heat driver in this (Flamingo 2025.2) cycle, as waiting longer may imply waiting until 2026.2 due to SLURP release expectations. We would like to hear any feedback on this plan from users of Magnum - either in the mailing list or join one of our IRC meetings[2]. o One option is to move the driver out of tree into its own codebase (perhaps in `x/`), to allow deployers to keep their existing clusters functional and addressable by Magnum while transitioning to a Cluster API driver. This initiative needs effort and a champion to drive it. * Helm charts (magnum-capi-helm driver) o While the driver code is now in opendev the Helm charts live in azimuth-cloud's github. These are a major component of the driver and we discussed the reasoning behind keeping them in github and stability of the Magnum-capi-helm driver. o The current proposal is to snapshot the upstream repo at regular intervals into the opendev repo. This avoids maintenance of a complete fork, but keeps the Magnum-capi-helm driver with a stable internal reference of the helm charts. * CI for the Magnum project was discussed o One big implication of the Heat driver being removed is what we test against. o Including the CAPI drivers (initially non-voting) would give stability, provided external changes wouldn't break the CI. * Normalised labels proposal o Dale has a proposal for Normalised labels[3], aiming for Mutable labels. The video format discussion of the vPTG was very helpful to give context and move the idea forward to cover API backwards compatibility requirements and a better way to implement support labels for different drivers. o The proposal as it stands should be re-worked to look at covering a similar extension pattern that Nova has with drivers, and possibly look to replace labels. * TC initiatives o We discussed the upcoming Eventlet removal and as we are a small team we will wait for guidance and examples to follow before implementing, but we remain aware of this initiative. Finally, I wanted to announce to the list that at last weeks Magnum IRC meeting we proposed and agreed on a new time slot. This is on alternate (every second) Tuesday at 8am UTC starting on the 27th May[2]. See the meeting notes for a full transcript and discussion[4].

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-19)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 19 May '25

19 May '25

Hello Stackers, We are 19 weeks away from the release date for OpenStack 2025.2 "Flamingo" [1]. Last week, election officials published the combined TC and PTL election schedule targeting the next release cycle [2]. We are setting up our election configuration early to ensure that community members have adequate time to propose and deliberate nominations. The elections themselves will occur in August 2025, and the official nominations window opens on 2025-08-06 (week R-8). However, you are welcome to submit your candidacy early in case you anticipate being away. Please note that your nomination will not be merged until the nomination window opens. This election is also an opportunity for OpenStack project teams to modify their leadership model if they choose. All project teams with "distributed" project leadership will be required to update their liaisons or assert that no change is necessary by week R-8. Please await changes from the TC on Gerrit to do so. No further governance changes were made last week; however, a few proposals are open for review. === Weekly Meeting === The weekly IRC meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee occurred on 2025-05-13 [3]. A lot of progress was made in the past few weeks with regard to action items that we were tracking from our Project Team Gathering in April. We discussed a proposal [4] to require a declaration of affiliation when contesting TC elections and how that would apply to current TC members. The proposal seeks to enhance transparency and allow voters to make more informed choices since the TC has an affiliation diversity requirement [5] that is enforced when adopting the results of an election. Concerns were raised about potential misinterpretations regarding company influence and the perception of OpenStack's governance. It was recommended that we add specific disclaimers as to why the affiliation is declared on our governance pages after this proposal has been adopted. We also socialized the kick-off for the 2026.1 elections. I will be serving as the TC's election liaison and helping our election officials Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) and Ian Y Choi (ianychoi). We discussed the state of the CI, bringing the TC up to speed on several cross-community CI efforts. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is on 2025-05-20 at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be held over IRC on the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the agenda and other details in the meeting's wiki page [6]. I hope you will be able to join us there! === Governance Proposals === === Open for review === - [resolution] Relinquish "quantum" project on PyPI | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949783 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 - Clarify actions when no elections are required | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949431 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-05-22: OpenInfra UG Meetup, Sweden: https://www.meetup.com/openinfra-user-group-sweden/events/306139678/ - 2025-06-03: 15 ans d'OpenStack - OpenInfra UG, Paris: https://www.meetup.com/openstack-france/events/307492285 - 2025-06-05: OpenStack 15 ans! - OpenInfra UG, Rennes: https://www.meetup.com/openstack-rennes/events/306903998 - 2025-06-28: OpenInfra+Cloud Native Day, Vietnam: https://www.vietopeninfra.org/void2025 Thank you very much for reading!
