Hello,

Hi Stefan,

i just found this thread, in the situation to apparently have to move to ORACLE Linux, away from CentOS, as long as potential licening implications are up in the air, if i got all that right so far. My questions actually are now: - Would i have trouble today, if using ORACLE Linux for implementing Victoria via Kolla-Ansible?

We dropped support for OracleLinux in the Train cycle [1]. We have a large support matrix and a small team in Kolla, and after Oracle left the community, we looked for feedback on usage of OracleLinux and did not find any users. [1] https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/kolla/train.html#relnotes-9-0-0-stab...

- And/or would it be feasible for the mid term to reactivate support for ORACLE LINUX, until the dust has settled?

I don't expect to see much support within the community for that.

- On the long: will streaming change how OpenStack will be deployed via Kolla-Ansible?

I will assume you mean CentOS stream here. We are switching to a CentOS stream base container image in the Wallaby release. It remains to be seen how stable that will be. Typically a CentOS Linux minor release will cause us some breakage, and we will expect to see that occurring with CentOS stream, possibly on a more frequent basis. If you are not confident in CentOS stream, you might consider Ubuntu or Debian which are also supported by Kolla.

Unfortunately i have to implement a project these days, not allowing me to wait until then. Unfortunate timing...

Best

Stefan
