Hi, We have just had our virtual PTG. The full list of topics, along with notes, can be found on our Etherpad[1]. Here is a summary of the topics that will be targeted during this cycle. If you would like to view one of the recordings, please reach out to us so we can figure out a way to share it. # glance-tempest-plugin work There has not been a lot of activity on the Glance Tempest Plugin for a while. We decided to put more effort into it this cycle. The first step is to decide what stale patches to abandon or rebase. We will also try to add tests for newer APIs added in the past cycles (location, quota, cache). # Eventlet removal While Glance can already be deployed in production without eventlet, this library is still required for half of our functional tests, as well as for non-core features (namely the scrubber). We will be focusing on migrating our functional tests away from eventlet during this cycle. # Image encryption Not much progress has been made on this topic in the past cycle. The original authors of this feature are willing to spend time working on the required patches during the Flamingo cycle; the Glance core dev will make it a priority to quickly review the required patches so that we can finally merge the feature. # Glanceclient chunked transfer By default, the Glance client transfers data to the Glance API in chunks. This may force the Cinder backend to resize the volume multiple times, slowing down the upload. Providing the total size of the image will allow us to fix this issue. # Cinder common configuration options Operators often have parameters set to the exact same values for multiple Cinder backends. We plan on making it possible to configure "common configuration options", thus allowing operators not to repeat configuration snippets. # Freeze glanceclient development As we approach feature parity between the Glance client and the OpenStack unified client, we believe it will be best to freeze development of the Glance client. In the future, we will only fix bugs and security issues. During this cycle, we will work on actually reaching feature parity with the unified client. # new location API (Cinder & Nova) Glance has introduced two new Location APIs in the Dalmatian cycle. We can use these APIs to address OSSN-0090 and OSSN-0065. Patches for Nova and Cinder must still be merged, hopefully during the Flamingo cycle. # freeze glance client development Cinder and Nova will need to use the OpenStack SDK instead of the glanceclient. There is no need to complete this work during this cycle, but we should at least have a good idea of what APIs are currently being used, so that we can have a plan for the next cycles. # cache-cleaner/pruner We discussed possible minor improvements to both the cache-pruner and the cache-cleaner. This work is not going to be a priority for this cycle. # Deprecate the filesystem_store_datadirs configuration option This option has not been needed since the introduction of multistore support. Happy Hacking! Cyril Roelandt [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/apr2025-ptg-glance
