Hi,
I want to raise a potential conflict between the fact that OpenStack Victoria officially supports Ubuntu Focal[3] and a high severity regression in Nova [1] caused by a qemu bug [2] in the qemu version that is shipped with Focal.
The Nova team documented[4] it as a limitation without a known workaround in Nova. Also as far as I know Canonical does not support downgrading the qemu version so I don't see a viable workaround on Focal side either.
Is the Nova reno[4] enough from the TC perspective to go forward with the switch to Focal and with the Victoria release?
cheers, gibi
