Hi everyone - With regards to this planned deprecation, I would like to propose that we provide a heads up directly to operators who have indicated they are running either of these hypervisors within their OpenStack environment. This would also be something we could provide to OpenInfra Foundation members to ensure they are aware of upcoming changes in support. I am happy to drive the delivery of this information as my hope is that it brings the operators more into a conversation they may not know is happening and encourage them to participate. In addition to this email thread, is there anywhere else this discussion is taking place so I can make sure I have the most up-to-date information? I am happy to join any project meetings on IRC to discuss if that makes things easier. Thanks, Allison

Hi all,
As you might know, some of the OpenStack projects currently support usage of VMWare component. However recently the VMware virt driver in nova was marked experimental in 2023.2 release [1] and it has been discussed that the driver will be removed in 2023.2 release[2], after deprecation is backported to 2023.1.

(*1) Monasca is now inactive so I doubt anyone would work on this topic before it is retired.

Hi
We can certainly work on removing the parts for vmware vsphere.
