[openstack-ansible][powervm] dropping support
Hi everyone, I've pushed up a patch to propose dropping support for PowerVM support inside OpenStack Ansible. There has been no work done on this for a few years now, the configured compute driver is the incorrect one for ~2 years now which indicates that no one has been able to use it for that long. It would be nice to have this driver however given the infrastructure we have upstream, there would be no way for us to effectively test it and bring it back to functional state. I'm proposing that we remove the code here: https://review.opendev.org/662587 powervm: drop support If you're using this code and would like to contribute to fixing it and (somehow) adding coverage, please reach out, otherwise, we'll drop this code to clean things up.

Sadly, I don't know of anyone using it or willing to maintain it at this time.

:( We've merged that commit and we've now dropped PowerVM support for now (alongside the +1 Eric has provided too). We'd be happy to support it again if/when someone steps up :) -- Mohammed Naser — vexxhost ----------------------------------------------------- D. 514-316-8872 D. 800-910-1726 ext. 200 E. mnaser@vexxhost.com W. http://vexxhost.com
