Hi Everyone, I'm reaching out with a quick recap to the recent OpenStack Ops Radio[1] Hour gathering, which we had on November 21st. The group touched on these topics: - RabbitMQ + People agreed that OpenStack is overextending the capabilities of RabbitMQ, and questioned whether or not it is still the best choice + A related talk from OpenInfra Summit Europe was also mentioned, you can find the recording of the session here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj4elX2OONw&list=PLKqaoAnDyfgr91wN_12nwY321504Ctw1s&index=30 + While a few alternatives came up during the meeting, none seemed to be better than the current one + Providing the possibility through oslo-messaging to plug in different options through drivers also came up during the discussion - Live Migration + It came up by one meeting participant asking about others' experience with live migration + Based on feedback that attendees shared, when you have shared storage it works very well with no downtime on the users' side + Block storage migration with compression configured seems to be a challenge + People also mentioned some issues with memory management and large pages support - Quick survey on oldest OpenStack releases folks are running: Responses included Mitaka, Stein, Train, and more If you would like to read and catch up on notes or add agenda items to discuss, you can do so in this etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour You can find the meeting recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmWSQ_h3YAk __The next Ops Radio Hour is scheduled to happen on December 19th, 2025 at 1300UTC.__ What topics should we add to the agenda?

Hi OpenStack community,

I'm reaching out to you with a friendly reminder that the next OpenStack Ops Radio Hour[1] is scheduled to happen on __November 21st, 2025 at 1300UTC,__ which is this Friday!

The call series is a casual setting for operators, engineers, and contributors to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on the complexities of managing and deploying OpenStack environments.

We had a great discussion at the last meeting about how to refactor Ops-related activities - See Thierry's email for initial details: https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.... - Meeting notes from October 31st: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour

This upcoming call is a great opportunity to discuss and take next steps towards a more cohesive way for Ops folks to gather, discuss challenges and possible solutions, and onboard new operators and users to the community!

If you have further topics you would like to dive into during the call, please add them to this etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour
