Hi everyone, thanks to those who joined the Magnum PTG on 28th October.
It was held early in the morning for EU, and evening for AU/NZ.
Apologies to those who were less likely to make it due to the time
slot; please reach out if you'd have liked to join but couldn't
and we'll take that into account for the next.
Attendees: 9 (6 UK/EU, 3 AU/NZ)
Etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2025-ptg-magnum
The floor was open to discussion topics from the etherpad, and
topics were discussed in the order presented.
We discussed the current state of drivers, and migration from Heat
to CAPI: None planned, rebuild your clusters once CAPI is running.
Cluster upgrades after that are easy.
Installation of the base Kubernetes system to support CAPI drivers
was a topic of interest as Magnum with CAPI drivers is now
dependant on having a running Kubernetes cluster and not OpenStack
Heat. This is left to deployers, but improved documentation of
options and deployers would be helpful.
Magnum documentation on docs.openstack.org was brought up and
agreed to be in a poor state with out of date and very old
references. The consensus was we should **remove** the existing
documentation and rewrite it without references to Heat driver
(which is deprecated and slated for removal; making this decision
easier in G). Older documentation for old releases would still be
available on docs.openstack.org.
As with the past few cycles, the CI system needing to cover CAPI
was raised. mnasiadka is planning to work on this in the G cycle.
Eventlet removal patches have been created last cycle, and the
core team agrees to push forward with reviewing and merging these
early in the cycle so any problems can be found.
and finally, discussion on a longer term feature proposals around
labels[1][2] was continued with specs linked (which are noted as
needing an update to current thinking). The current state of
labels in Magnum is in need of an update to support more features
of Cluster API; allow end users to modify these labels for a
running cluster, discover valid labels, and provide a more
structured format for defining these per ClusterTemplate, Cluster
and NodeGroup.
