[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-4)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 01 Sep '25

01 Sep '25

Hello Stackers, We're in the final leg of our release journey with the 2025.2 "Flamingo" release [1]. Last week, we observed a feature freeze across all OpenStack deliverables that follow a "cycle-with-rc" [2] release model. Project teams are now preparing their release candidates, which will be posted next week. Polls have opened to elect a Project Team Lead in the Horizon (OpenStack Dashboard) project, as well as to elect four representatives on the OpenStack Technical Committee. Polls will close on September 17th, 2025, at 23:45 UTC [2]. Election officials observed that a good portion of the electorate would not receive their ballots because they haven't signed up to receive emails from the election system: CIVS. Please do ensure that your preferred email on gerrit has been used to opt in to CIVS emails. If you opt in newly, you will not receive an email ballot; instead, you'll see a pending poll invitation on CIVS: https://civs1.civs.us/cgi-bin/opt_in.pl In the past week, the Watcher project team has constituted a new set of project liaisons, and election officials have let the TC know that four OpenStack project teams have not had any PTL nominees. These are Monasca, OpenStack Charms, Venus, and Vitrage. We expect to make some changes shortly. === Weekly Meeting === The OpenStack Technical Committee had its last weekly meeting over IRC on August 26th, 2025 [3]. We had a lively discussion on several key topics. We're closing out the 'Migrate from WSGI scripts to module paths' goal [4] as complete. We also discussed the status of the Monasca project team [5]. It's still a point of contention with some folks wanting to move forward with its retirement while others want to give a new contributor a chance to get it running again. We've decided to defer a final decision to allow for more discussion on Gerrit and to give the new contributor a chance to make some progress. Another important topic we covered was the impact of the recent OIF membership renewals on the ongoing TC elections. With a significant number of potential voters not renewing their memberships, we are concerned about potential disenfranchisement. We hope to urge renewals past these elections and share a follow-up regarding the elections to the OIF Board. Finally, we discussed a proposed "phone-home" patch in the Cinder project [6]. While the feature technically sends data to an external storage system rather than an OpenStack service, there was a consensus that any "call-home" functionality should be opt-in, not enabled by default. This is a matter of respecting user privacy and not making assumptions about an operator's environment. Jon Bernard (jbernard) plans to draft a formal resolution to address this, and we'll advise on the process. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025. This meeting will be hosted simultaneously on Meetpad (video) and IRC (#openstack-tc on OFTC) at 1700 UTC. Please find the agenda and call details on the meeting's wiki page [7]. I hope you'll be able to join us there! === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Use DPL model for Watcher project leadership for 2026.1 release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958085 ==== Open For Review ==== - Retire Metalsmith project from bare metal program | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958297 - Show inactive project status in project.yaml | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958229 - Retire Monasca project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 - Mark "Migrate from wsgi scripts" goal as completed | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/958817 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-09-06: OpenInfra Days, Kenya: https://www.meetup.com/kenya-openinfra-user-group/ - 2025-09-17: OpenStack TC and Horizon project elections conclude: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-09-09: OIF Board Monthly meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-10-01: OpenStack 2026.1 "Flamingo" release day - 2025-10-03: OpenStack's Birthday Meetup, Austin: https://www.meetup.com/openinfra-austin/events/310508680 - 2025-10-17: OpenInfra Summit, Paris-Saclay: https://summit2025.openinfra.org/ - 2025-10-27: OpenInfra PTG: https://openinfra.org/ptg/ Thank you very much for reading!

Setting up HA in OpenStack with Kolla-Ansible (Instance failover across compute nodes)
by Thamanna Farhath 31 Aug '25

31 Aug '25

Hi OpenStack Community, I have installed *Masakari* using Kolla-Ansible, and after that I also installed *HACluster*. However, the HACluster containers are failing and keep exiting. Setup: - 3 controller nodes - Multiple compute nodes - Deployment: Kolla-Ansible My questions are: 1. Do I really need Masakari together with HACluster for instance HA? 2. Is there an alternative or recommended way to deploy HACluster with Kolla-Ansible? 3. Has anyone faced the issue where HACluster containers keep exiting after deployment? Any guidance, troubleshooting tips, or experiences would be very helpful.

[all][elections][tc] TC Election Campaigning Kickoff
by Ian Y. Choi 31 Aug '25

31 Aug '25

Developers, The TC Election Campaigning Period has now started[1]. During the next couple days, you are all encouraged to ask the candidates questions about their platforms[2], opinions on OpenStack, community governance, and anything else that will help you to better determine how you will vote. This is the time to raise any issues you wish the future TC to consider, and to evaluate the opinions of the nominees prior to their election. Candidates, Each of you has posted a platform[2], and announced your nomination to the developers. From this point, you are encouraged to ask each other questions about the posted platforms, and begin discussion of any points that you feel are particularly important during the next cycle. While you are not yet TC members, your voices and opinions about the issues raised in your platforms and questions raised by the wider community will help ensure that the future TC has the widest possible input on the matters of community concern, and the electorate has the best information to determine the ideal TC composition to address these and other issues that may arise. [1] https://governance.openstack.org/election/ [2] https://opendev.org/openstack/election/src/branch/master/candidates/2026.1/… Ian Y. Choi & Slawek Kaplonski, on behalf of election officials.

[release] Release countdown for week R-4, Sep 01 - 05
by Elõd Illés 29 Aug '25

29 Aug '25

Development Focus ----------------- We just passed feature freeze! Until release branches are cut, you should stop accepting featureful changes to deliverables following the cycle-with-rc release model, or to libraries. Exceptions should be discussed on separate threads on the mailing-list, and feature freeze exceptions approved by the team's PTL. Focus should be on finding and fixing release-critical bugs, so that release candidates and final versions of the 2025.2 "Flamingo" deliverables can be proposed, well ahead of the final 2025.2 "Flamingo" release date. General Information ------------------- We are still finishing up processing a few release requests, but the 2025.2 "Flamingo" release requirements are now frozen. If new library releases are needed to fix release-critical bugs in 2025.2 "Flamingo", you must request a Requirements Freeze Exception (RFE) from the requirements team before we can do a new release to avoid having something released in 2025.2 "Flamingo" that is not actually usable. This is done by posting to the openstack-discuss mailing list with a subject line similar to: [$PROJECT][requirements] RFE requested for $PROJECT_LIB Include justification/reasoning for why a RFE is needed for this lib. If/when the requirements team OKs the post-freeze update, we can then process a new release. A soft String freeze is now in effect, in order to let the I18N team do the translation work in good conditions. In Horizon and the various dashboard plugins, you should stop accepting changes that modify user-visible strings. Exceptions should be discussed on the mailing-list. By September 26th, 2025 this will become a hard string freeze, with no changes in user-visible strings allowed. Actions ------- stable/2025.2 branches should be created soon for all not-already-branched libraries. You should expect 2-3 changes to be proposed for each: a .gitreview update, a reno update (skipped for projects not using reno), and a tox.ini constraints URL update. Please review those in priority so that the branch can be functional ASAP. The Prelude section of reno release notes is rendered as the top level overview for the release. Any important overall messaging for 2025.2 "Flamingo" changes should be added there to make sure the consumers of your release notes see them. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- RC1 deadline: September 12th, 2025 (R-3 week) Final RC deadline: September 26th, 2025 (R-1 week) Final 2025.2 "Flamingo" release: October 1st, 2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe: October 17th-19th, 2025 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release

[release][swift][ironic] Deliverables missing Flamingo releases
by Thierry Carrez 29 Aug '25

29 Aug '25

Hi everyone, Quick reminder that we'll need a release very soon for a number of deliverables following a cycle-with-intermediary release model but which have not done *any* release yet in the 2025.2 Flamingo cycle: bifrost ironic-inspector ironic-prometheus-exporter ironic-ui networking-generic-switch swift Those should be released ASAP, and in all cases before September 12th, so that we have a release to include in the final 2025.2 Flamingo release. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)

Need information
by engineer2024 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

Hi Folks, In the context of ovn, the way the ovn agents like ovn controller, ovn metadata etc, broadcast their aliveness status is by updating certain values in the local ovs db tables to show they are alive , which is then picked up by the ovn controller on that node and it updates the southbound db which passes on to the north daemon and it informs neutron. is this the correct understanding of how ovn agent check works ? i am facing an issue, where three neutron server container hosts are marked as 'gw as a chassis' to serve dhcp and neutron metadata requests for sriov based vms. these are grouped into a single ha chassis group with a priority no for each chassis. when I stopped one of the ovn metadata agents on an active chassis, the ovn is not changing the chassis entry of that sriov port in the port binding table of the sb. it is still showing the old chassis entry. I checked for any updates in the ovn controller logs of the new active and passive chassis' . but nothing in the logs. is this a bug or some internal communication is not happening among the chassis' ovn controllers, northd , nb and sb ? Thanks elinux
