We are jazzed to announce the release of: openstack-ansible-os_nova 14.2.3: os_nova for OpenStack Ansible This release is part of the newton stable release series. Download the package from: https://tarballs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible-os_nova/ For more details, please see below. 14.2.3 ^^^^^^ New Features ************ * Removed dependency for "cinder_backends_rbd_inuse" in nova.conf when setting "rbd_user" and "rbd_secret_uuid" variables. Cinder delivers all necessary values via RPC when attaching the volume, so those variables are only necessary for ephemeral disks stored in Ceph. These variables are required to be set up on cinder-volume side under backend section. * New variables have been added to allow a deployer to customize a nova systemd unit file to their liking. * The task dropping the nova systemd unit files now uses the "config_template" action plugin allowing deployers access to customize the unit files as they see fit without having to load extra options into the defaults and polute the generic systemd unit file with jinja2 variables and conditionals. * For the "os_nova" role, the systemd unit "TimeoutSec" value which controls the time between sending a SIGTERM signal and a SIGKILL signal when stopping or restarting the service has been reduced from 300 seconds to 120 seconds. This provides 2 minutes for long-lived sessions to drain while preventing new ones from starting before a restart or a stop. The "RestartSec" value which controls the time between the service stop and start when restarting has been reduced from 150 seconds to 2 seconds to make the restart happen faster. These values can be adjusted by using the "nova_*_init_config_overrides" variables which use the "config_template" task to change template defaults.
