and freezer api doesn't work current and error with: Engine error: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'  Engine error: Forced stop

Hi Ali, Which openstack version do you use ? I have a similar problem on my Train plateform (deployed by kolla-ansible), using freezer-scheduler. There are many commit for py3 correction for Ussuri and Victoria branch, in Git repository [1]. Did you try these version? I have already post the problem on StoryBoard [2] and Launchpad [3]. -----Message d'origine----- Objet : Re: Fwd: freezer On Thu, 2020-11-05 at 12:42 +0330, Ali Ebrahimpour wrote: that looks like a python 3 issue im not sure how active it still is but it looks like its an issue between text string and byte strings
