[election][all][tc] A call for election officials for 2025.2
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hello Stackers, I'd like to express my gratitude to Ian Y Choi (ianychoi) and Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) for their service as OpenStack's election officials for the 2025.1 term. A hallmark of our community has been its leadership and the guiding principles [1] we use when defining them. In Feb-Mar 2025, we're going to be electing the next set of OpenStack Project Team Leads as well as 5 members of the OpenStack Technical Committee. We've run a combined election for PTLs and TC seats in the past few years. We envision doing the same for this upcoming election. Most of the election process is automated, and election officials help execute and oversee this process [2]. If you're interested in being an election official, please reach out to me. If you've previously served as an election official, please do not hesitate to reach out. If we have enough volunteers, you may do us a great favor by mentoring those doing this for the first time. Thank you, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr) OpenStack TC Chair [1] https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/principles.html [2] https://governance.openstack.org/election/process.html

[OpenStack-Ansible] Major Upgrade from Yoga to Zed/Antelope
by Roby G 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hello everyone, Current environment: - Ubuntu 20.04 - OpenStack-Ansible Yoga - no LXC, services are installed bare metal - `install_method` is `distro` My goal is to upgrade this environment to Zed, or skip Zed and upgrade directly to Antelope, since Zed is also in Unmaintained state. What would you recommend? Which order should I follow - upgrade operating system or OpenStack first? The decision is a bit difficult as all 3 releases (Yoga, Zed and Antelope) support different Ubuntu versions in install_method distro and not the same one.

[kolla-ansible]: guidance needed for neutron setup
by turkey automation 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hey folks, I am new to Openstack and want to try it on KVM setup with 1 controller and 2 compute VMs. In my first attempt, I was able to install Openstack using kolla-ansible(2024.1 version) and also run-initonce completed without any issues. Now, I want to create instances that can access my back-bone i.e. KVM virtual network(192.168.121.x/24) but either floating IP concept or extending my KVM network to openstack(I don't know if it's feasible!) Some info about my infra: a. Controller 1: Interface eth0 has 192.168.121.5 IP address. eth1 has no IP. b. compute 1: Interface eth0: 192.168.121.10, eth1 has no IP. c. compute 2: interface eth0: 192.168.121.15, eth1 has no IP. What configuration do I need to enable in globals.yml and what all I need to do post deployment of openstack to ensure I have virtual instances on openstack that have IPs from 192.168.121.x network(dhcp can be controlled by KVM network?) and are accessible from other KVM based VMs that I created outside of openstack. I am a learner to please be elaborate if possible. Thanks in advance to the community. - Best regards!

Upstream Oslo IRC Meetings Are Back.
by Daniel Bengtsson 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well! I sent an email a while ago to reestablish the Upstream Oslo IRC meetings. With the removal of Eventlet, this makes even more sense. I have received two positive responses, and we also mentioned it during the PTG last week. I propose to hold these meetings every other Monday, starting today, at 4:00 PM UTC. Does this work for everyone? Thank you for your feedback! -- Daniel Bengtsson Software engineer

Oslo Meeting day and agenda.
by Daniel Bengtsson 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well! As a reminder, we’ve chosen the day and time for the Oslo meetings. They will take place every Wednesday with the following schedule: • Even weeks: Europe/US • Odd weeks: Europe/Asia I’ve proposed a patch[1] to update the meeting times. We’ll also have a meeting tomorrow at 13:00 UTC. The topic for tomorrow will be the proposed removal of Eventlet[2] in Oslo service. To help track our meetings, I’ve created an Etherpad document[3], which you can view here: Oslo Etherpad. I used the release structure as inspiration, keeping only the essentials for Oslo. Thanks, and see you tomorrow!

OpenStack Cinder - Volume-ID in cinder DB
by Harsh Ailani 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hello contributors, I am working on clone operation for a volumegroup and in that the volume ID auto-generated by OpenStack is not the one with which the clone volumes are being created on my IBM storage backend. This is as per design that IBM Storage backend will take the source-volume ID in the source-volumegroup and add a suffix to it while cloning. Now since there is a mismatch in the IDs between cinder and storage backend, because of which I am unable to perform any volume operations on this cloned volume. So, I was wondering if I can change the volume ID in cinder DB? I know that it’s a unique key and there is a limit of 36 characters for this field in cinder DB, but since I cannot change the volume in storage backend, I wanted to check if there is a way I can alter the volume ID in cinder DB? Kindly share your thoughts/suggestions on this matter. Thanks and Regards, Harsh Ailani

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-20)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hello Stackers, This week is milestone-1 of the 2025.1 ("Epoxy") release cycle [1]. We've been hard at work implementing the action items from the recent Virtual Project Teams Gathering (PTG) [2]. This past week, we didn’t pursue any new governance changes, though several remain in draft as follow-ups from the PTG. We’re also excited about the extended deadline for the Call for Proposals for the OpenInfra Days event at SCaLE 2025. The new deadline is Nov 15, 2024 [3]. === Weekly Meeting === Last week, the Technical Committee met concurrently on video [4] and IRC [5]. Allison Price (aprice) and Jimmy McArthur (jimmymcarthur) from the OpenInfra VMware Migration Working Group [6] joined us to discuss the group's charter and activities so far. The working group’s goal is not only to address gaps and workarounds but also to influence the future development of OpenStack software. The group has published a whitepaper [7] for operators planning to migrate cloud workloads. The TC expressed interest in collaboration between the working group and the current maintainers of the VMware hypervisor driver in OpenStack Nova. We also highlighted low contributor numbers in several critical project teams mentioned in the whitepaper, including those maintaining OpenStack Compute High Availability (Masakari), OpenStack Storage Backup and Restore (Freezer), OpenStack Resource Optimization (Watcher), and OpenStack Database Service (Trove). The working group plans to hold regular meetings soon and will share details via this mailing list. The TC reviewed the maintenance status of the OpenStack documentation styling extension for Python Sphinx, openstackdocstheme. This library is outdated, as it depends on older versions, but there aren’t enough maintainers to review changes, which could impact documentation across all projects. Ideally, maintainers of this library should have expertise in Sphinx and JavaScript, making the TC a less-than-ideal group to support it. We encourage migrating documentation away from this custom tool, as Sphinx styling extensions have advanced and may now suffice without heavy customization. While there’s no immediate migration plan, we’re looking for volunteers to lead this effort. In the meantime, we’ll raise concerns with the Oslo project team about the lack of reviews for openstackdocstheme changes. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is today (2024-11-12) on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. You can find the agenda on the Meeting wiki [8]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open for Review ==== Propose to select the eventlet-removal community goal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/931254 Add Cinder Huawei charm | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/867588 Thank you very much for reading!
