Hi Team, We had our seventh virtual PTG between 27th March to 31st March 2023. Thanks to everyone who joined the virtual PTG sessions. Using bluejeans app we had lots of discussion around different topics for glance, glance + cinder, fips and Secure RBAC. You can find the topics discussed in etherpad [1] with Notes from the session and which also includes the recordings of each discussion. Here I am going to highlight a few important topics which we are going to target this cycle. # Glance Image Direct URL access - OSSN-0090 This is the most important and high priority work item for us in this cycle. We are going to move the spec to the current cycle and implement glance, client and osc side work this cycle. We are also going to implement tempest side work for the same. Once it is completed, Rajat (current cinder PTL) is going to write consumer side spec for nova and cinder. https://bluejeans.com/s/dKF1IG2h8PC chapter 2 (from 22 minutes onward) # Bridge gap between Glance client and OSC Last cycle we have prepared the list of missing commands [2] and started submitting patches to implement the same. Our biggest hurdle at the moment is lack of reviews from the osc team (which has only one/two cores). Glance PTL is going to communicate with TC/existing core(s) of OSC whether they can add any glance core to the team so that we can prioritize our work and get reviews immediately. This cycle we are planning to complete this work.

This cycle we are going to ensure that existing tests are supporting multistore configs.

This cycle PTL is going to discuss with the QE/TC team regarding deprecation of policies (migrating policies to use manager role) and decide further action. Recording: https://bluejeans.com/s/RHgqQi28_Hk/ - chapter 1 # Fips Overview ade_lee is going to submit some patches for us and we are going to help him in debugging failures if there are any. Recording: https://bluejeans.com/s/RHgqQi28_Hk/ - chapter 5 # Native Image encryption Finally the Barbican work is complete and we can move ahead with glance side work in this cycle. We need to move glance side spec to Bobcat and check whether there will be any changes in the implementation. Luzi is going to work on glance changes and the team is going to assist her in reviews and testing. Recording: https://bluejeans.com/s/RHgqQi28_Hk/ - chapter 3 # RBD deferred deletion Eric from cinder team is working on PoC/code for glance-store side changes for the same. Once we have PoC ready, the glance team will assist him to create a detailed spec and start working on tests for the same. https://bluejeans.com/s/dKF1IG2h8PC - chapter 2 Apart from above topics you can find other miscellaneous topics discussed in PTG etherpad [1] along with milestone wise priorities at the end. If you have any questions/suggestions then please join us in our weekly meeting (each Thursday #openstack-meeting irc channel at 1400 UTC).
