Hello Argonauts, Having passed Milestone-3 this week (and yes, it was painful), let's evaluate where we are with cinder Yoga features: - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/yoga Note: You must apply for a Feature Freeze Exception (FFE) by 17:00 UTC on Tuesday 1 March. Features granted an FFE must be in the gate by 20:00 UTC on Monday 7 March. Being granted an FFE is not a guarantee that your feature will be included in Yoga. Note to reviewers: please concentrate on the below over the next week. 1. Complete transition to Alembic - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/complete-transition-to-alembic - this is essential technical debt elimination - has a Feature Freeze Exception 2. Reset State Robustification - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/reset-state-robustification - Tushar has been working patiently on this forever - not a destabilizing change - has a Feature Freeze Exception - let's prioritize getting the base patch reviewed and merged, and we can see how far we can work up the stack before 7 March. - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/773985/ Driver features 3. HPE Nimble driver rename - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/nimble-change-location - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/786054 - has one +2 - patch has passed third party CI configured with the old name *and* with the rename - has an FFE Hitachi VSP driver The below require this non-feature patch, which addresses followup issues - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/827259/ - has one +2 - doesn't need an FFE because it's a bugfix, but let's get it reviewed and merged! 4. Support AIX as host OS type for VSP Driver - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/hitachi-vsp-aix-os-type - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/828061 - has one +2 - has an FFE 5. Target Port Assignment for VSP Driver - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/hitachi-vsp-tgt-port-asgn - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/828060 - has one +2 - has an FFE Questionable: 1. The Return of Make Cinder Consistent and Secure RBAC Ready - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/s-rbac-ready-y - community goal - I will meet with the cinder Zed PTL to discuss what to do about this one (may give a FFE for just part) 2. Hitachi: Port Scheduler for VSP Driver - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/hitachi-vsp-port-scheduler - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/828696 - Code and tests look mostly fine, and CI is passing - some really minor issues and needs a release note - needs to be rebased on latest version of 828060 - not giving an auto-FFE because it hasn't had a +2 yet - must apply for an FFE 3. ibm-svf-portset - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/ibm-svf-portset - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/817351 - no +2s because third-party CI isn't passing - let's face it, no one is going to review this with failing CI even if it gets an FFE - must apply for an FFE
