Hello, As you know there has been a long discussion about eventlet usage in OpenStack, and after seeing multiple problems caused by the library and no long term plan in the project, and we are moving toward doping the dependency on eventlet. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/916546 One of the core implementation which heavily depends on eventlet is WSGI server. Multiple projects have been providing the -api console scripts (eg nova-api) based on the oslo.service's WSGI server implementation which depends on eventlet. On the other hand, nowadays we have multiple methods to launch api services, such as httpd+mod_wsgi, uwsgi and gunicorn. And a few projects in OpenStack don't provide the -api console script (eg. aodh, barbican and placement) but suggest using these external frameworks to run their api WSGI application. I know that multiple deployment tools (for example TripleO in the past) and some distros (Debian) already started using the external framework for consistency, better concurrency and so on. Given the situation, I wonder if we can consider deprecating the eventlet WSGI server in oslo.service in 2024.2/2025.1 and eventually remove all -api script in 2025.2. This was discussed during the previous nova PTG sessions and I think this makes complete sense as a global direction given the variety of alternative approaches currently available. I'm tagging neutron(*1) and glance(*2) because IIRC these had(or even have) some problems with running API in wsgi mode, and also ironic because I've seen some works coming from it, iiuc. Please let me know if you have any concern applying this approach to these (or the other) projects. Thank you, Takashi Kajinami (*1) For neutron, there are a few issues being fixed now https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2062009 but ml2-ovn may need additional fixes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1912359 (*2) As far as I know the issue with glance was already fixed some time ago[1]. https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1888713 -- Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam github: https://github.com/kajinamit launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~kajinamit
