Hey all, So as many of you know, Ironic has had a driver for supporting SNMP-based PDUs (where you use an SNMP command to power on/off servers) for a while. This driver heavily uses pysnmp, a library created by a late Ironic contributor that was taken over by another company afterwards. This library is good, but is extremely fast moving and difficult for Ironic developers to keep up with. In fact, right now, both our SNMP-BMC emulator (virtualpdu) and Ironic are stuck using pysnmp-lexstudio, an old version of pysnmp which is now preventing other packages, e.g. pyasn1, from being upgraded. This is unsustainable in the long term, and it's been in this state for a while already. If you are an operator or organization that utilizes the SNMP driver, you need to rapidly find another method to manage power on your servers or help the Ironic developers maintain the SNMP driver -- at a minimum getting us onto the new pysnmp library (not a small undertaking; it's unexpectedly difficult). It's my intention to propose to the Ironic team that we mark this driver as unsupported and remove any remaining functional testing for it in anticipation of fully removing the driver in a future cycle. I do not want to take this action, but I'd rather have a driver removed from Ironic than one that's not going to work or hold the rest of the OpenStack requirements back. If you use this driver, please get in contact with the Ironic team if you have any resources to help with this migration. Feel free to use me-directly as a contact point if you're unsure where to start. Thanks, Jay Faulkner Ironic Security Liason
