Hi all,
At this moment, Magnum is still using Fedora Atomic 27 as the default image in devstack. But you can definitely use Fedora Atomic 29 and it works fine. But you may run into a performance issue when booting Fedora Atomic 29 if your compute host doesn't have enough entropy. There are two steps you need for that case:
1. Adding property hw_rng_model='virtio' to Fedora Atomic 29 image
2. Adding property hw_rng:allowed='True' to flavor, and we also need hw_rng:rate_bytes=4096 and hw_rng:rate_period=1 to get a reasonable rate limit to avoid the VM drain the hypervisor.
We are working on a patch for Magnum devstack to support FA29 out of box. Meanwhile, we're starting to test Fedora CoreOS 30. Please popup in #openstack-containers channel if you have any question. Cheers.
Neat! I think it's important for us to get off Fedora Atomic given that RedHat seems to be ending it soon. Is the plan to move towards Fedora CoreOS 30 or has there been consideration of using something like an Ubuntu-base (and leveraging something like kubeadm+ansible to drive the deployment?)-
Personally, I would like we can stay at Fedora Atomic/CoreOS since Magnum has already been benefited from the container-based readonly operating system. But we did have the discussion about using kubeadm+ansible, however, as you can see, it's a quite big refactoring, I'm not sure if we can get it done with current limited resources.
