[release] [upgrades] Seeking OpenStack Upgrade Success Stories
by Allison Price 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Hi everyone, Ahead of the OpenStack 2025.1 ‘Epoxy’ release, the OpenInfra Foundation marketing team wants to work with the OpenStack community to highlight how upgrades have become simplified with the implementation of SLURP. This will include leveraging the governance docs to draft articles around the upstream progress as well as operator success stories for organizations who have upgraded their own deployments or customer deployments to a SLURP release. The goal is to further increase awareness on the improvements made to the upgrade process and reduce common perceptions that OpenStack upgrades remain complex. Here [1] is an etherpad where we are collecting names of volunteers who can either review materials promoting the upstream progress or share operator success stories. If you have any questions, please let me know. [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/OpenStackUpgrades Cheers, Allison Allison Price VP of Marketing & Community p: +1-214-686-6821

[kolla] [wallaby] [openvswitch]
by Albert Braden 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

One of our busiest clusters was rebuilt on Wallaby a few months ago (kolla-ansible) and deletions are taking a long time for VMs on some hypervisors. When I look at the ovs-vswitchd.log on the slow hypervisors I see lots of errors that apparently refer to a missing VM interface: 2024-12-27T19:06:10.482Z|01793|bridge|WARN|could not open network device qvo0430a2f7-cd (No such device) For most network devices I see "added" and "deleted" lines in the log. This one has an "added" line but no "deleted". I tried restarting the neutron_openvswitch_agent and openvswitch_vswitchd containers but that didn't make a difference. How can I get OVS to stop choking on this missing interface?

[ironic][networking] Baremetal Networking Working Group resuming 2/15
by Julia Kreger 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Greetings everyone, Now that we are in the new year and a number of ironic contributors are back from PTO, we're going to resume the networking meetings. One aspect which we discussed in December was to focus the discussion. To that end, after some follow-up discussion, we're going to try and focus the meeting a bit more using the agenda. We have an agenda posted to the etherpad[0], along with a meeting link. If you have additional topics, please feel free to add to that agenda, but also be mindful between the use cases of standalone usage and openstack integrated usage and explicitly call out the use case. As a reminder, the meeting will be at 1500 UTC. Meeting link in the etherpad! Thanks! -Julia [0]: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ironic-networking

Dalmatian Devstack: Empty Port Binding section in Horizon
by berndbausch＠gmail.com 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Is there a known bug, either in Devstack or Horizon, that prevents Neutron port binding details from being displayed? My googling did not find anything. As admin, I open a port's details, and in the Binding section at the end of the page, all I get is a bold text "VNIC Type". The CLI command "openstack port show" does provide the details. Also on a Xena Devstack, Horizon displays them[1]. Horizon's setup.py seems to be identical on both releases, as far as Neutron configuration is concerned. Thanks for any input. Bernd. [1] The Binding details I expect: Binding VNIC Type Normal Host xena-202 Profile None VIF Type ovs VIF Details connectivity l2 port_filter True ovs_hybrid_plug False datapath_type system bridge_name br-int

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-11)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Hello Stackers, Time flies! We're 11 weeks away from the 2025.1 "Epoxy" release day [1]. OpenStack project teams must be working on their deliverables according to the schedule shared by Előd Illés (elodilles) from the release team [2] this week. In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee (TC) worked with election officials to adjust the dates of the elections preceding the 2025.2 ("Flamingo" [3]) release cycle. This change was made in response to a revision in the TC's charter that now allows more time for polling. Election officials will share the updated schedule on this list soon. Additionally, the TC approved the retirement of openstack-ansible roles for former projects: Murano (Application Catalog), Senlin (Clustering Service), and Sahara (Data Processing). The OpenInfra Board's Individual Member Director elections are currently underway [4]. If you are an OpenInfra Foundation member, please check your email for a ballot and participate. The election will conclude on Friday, 2025-01-17. === Weekly Meeting === The OpenStack TC resumed its regular weekly meeting schedule last week following a brief hiatus due to the year-end holidays. Last week's meeting was held on 2025-01-07 at 1800 UTC, simultaneously on Zoom and IRC. Please find the meeting minutes on eavesdrop [5] and a recording on YouTube [6]. The meeting began with a discussion about the pending proposal [7] to delete the "unmaintained/victoria" branch on OpenStack git repositories. There is interest from at least one contributing organization in keeping this branch open for specific repositories. The deadline to merge this change is 2025-01-31. We aim to identify the specific repositories and the responsible maintainers by then. I'll keep you updated in future emails. The TC then discussed initiating the election cycle for the 2025.2 release. We recognize that long holidays (such as the upcoming Chinese New Year) could impact nominations from interested candidates. We hope to encourage nominations as early as possible since even a couple of extra weeks could make a difference in coordinating for such a geographically diverse community. The TC also reviewed the status of the community goal to migrate test jobs to Python 3.12 (and "Ubuntu 24.04 / Noble Numbat" where applicable). Ghanshyam Mann (gmann), the goal champion, shared that test jobs in three projects (Heat, Skyline, and devstack-plugin-container) need attention from their respective project teams [8]. We also expressed our gratitude to the OpenDev Infrastructure team for keeping the systems running smoothly during the holidays. The next OpenStack Technical Committee meeting is today, 2025-01-14, at 1800 UTC. This meeting will be held over IRC in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. Please find the agenda on the meeting wiki [9]. I hope you can join us. Remember, any community member can propose meeting topics—just mention your IRC nick so the meeting chair can call upon you. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Allow more than 2 weeks for elections | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/937741 - Put whitebox-tempest-plugin under release management | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938401 - Retire Murano/Senlin/Sahara OpenStack-Ansible roles | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935677 ==== Open for Review ==== - Rework the eventlet-removal goal proposal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/931254 - Add ansible-role-httpd repo to OSA-owned projects | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935694 - Retire Freezer DR | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938183 - Retire qdrouterd role | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938193 - Remove Freezer from inactive state | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938938 - Propose to select the eventlet-removal community goal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934936 - Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 === 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 1800 UTC [9]. === Upcoming Events === - 2025-01-17: 2025 OpenInfra Board Individual Member Director Elections conclude - 2025-02-01: FOSDEM 2025 (https://fosdem.org/2025/) OpenStack's 15th Birthday Celebration - 2025-02-28: 2025.1 ("Epoxy") Feature Freeze and release milestone 3 [1] - 2025-03-06: SCALE 2025 + OpenInfra Days NA (https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x) Thank you very much for reading!

[openstack][octavia] Override default 50000 OctaviaTimeoutMemberData
by Andy Speagle 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

Hi Folks, We're using charmed openstack and charmed k8s on top of that. In our k8s environment, we have an nginx ingress controller that uses the openstack-integrator charm to create and manage octavia LBs. I'm trying to figure out how to manage the haproxy frontend and backend timeout parameters that seem to default to 50000ms via: OctaviaTimeoutClientData OctaviaTimeoutMemberData Ideally, being able to specify this in the k8s service manifest that gets passed down into the octavia config would be "the way." Any ideas? Thanks! -- Andy Speagle

Assigning specific IP address to a host
by William Muriithi 13 Jan '25

13 Jan '25

Hello I have a system that I would like to assign a specific IP address. I am aware of a way I can set it up on creation but want to change it post creation so that I can prepare the host before swapping the IP address to bring it to production. This is what I have tried:- Set up a second interface: openstack server add fixed ip --fixed-ip-address 192.168.20.61 f3a20bef-bb03-4e9a-8996-77567ef96ff0 d1051b62-46a7-487e-b188-f742aec6d711 Remove the default security group: openstack port unset --security-group c0108624-dbd8-42bb-acaa-bbbfd32fbbae 6978e153-47dc-42d4-bdb8-63b325c77cf0 Assign the relevant security group: openstack port set --security-group 415a6ef0-e461-41fc-85f0-c92c043e5b50 6978e153-47dc-42d4-bdb8-63b325c77cf0 After that, when I ssh to the virtual machine, I can see the new interface and indeed also ping/ssh to the system using that IP address. However, its not reachable from outside the virtual machine What could I be missing here? Regards, William
