[nova][dev] 4 weeks until feature freeze
Hey all,
We've 4 weeks left until feature freeze milestone s-3 on March 7.
I've updated the blueprint status tracking etherpad:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-stein-blueprint-status
For our Cycle Themes:
Multi-cell operational enhancements:
We have good progress going on handling of down cells and cross-cell resize. Counting quota usage from placement is still a WIP and I will be pushing updates this week.
Compute nodes able to upgrade and exist with nested resource providers for multiple vGPU types:
This effort has stalled during the cycle but the libvirt driver reshaper patch has updates coming soon. The xenapi driver reshaper patch has a -1 from Nov 28 and has not been updated yet in response. Help is needed here. The patches for multiple vGPU types (libvirt and xenapi) are stale since Rocky (as they depend on the reshapers).
Volume-backed user experience and API improvement:
The ability to specify volume type during server create is complete since 2018-10-16. However, the patches for being able to detach a boot volume and volume-backed server rebuild are in merge conflict/stale. Help is needed here.
If you are the owner of an approved blueprint, please:
* Add the blueprint if I've missed it * Update the status if it is not accurate * If your blueprint is in the "Wayward changes" section, please upload and update patches as soon as you can, to allow maximum time for review * If your patches are noted as Merge Conflict or WIP or needing an update, please update them and update the status on the etherpad * Add a note under your blueprint if you're no longer able to work on it this cycle
Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with your blueprint.
Cheers, -melanie

It's Chinese New Year / Spring Festival this week so the developers that own these changes are on holiday. Kevin told me last week that once he's back he's going to complete the detach/attach root volume work. The spec was amended [1] and needs another spec core to approve (probably would be good to have Dan do that since was involved in the initial spec review).
As for the volume-backed rebuild change, I asked Jie Li on the review if he needed someone to help push it forward and he said he did. It sounds like Kevin and/or Yikun might be able to help there. Yikun already has the Cinder side API changes all done and there is a patch for the python-cinderclient change, but the Cinder API change is blocked until we have an end-to-end working scenario in Tempest for the volume-backed rebuild flow in nova. I can help with the Tempest change when the time comes since that should be pretty straightforward.

That's all great news! Thanks for the summary and for volunteering to help with the Tempest change.
We'll keep our eyes peeled for updates to those patch series coming soon.
