We are happy to announce the release of: ironic-python-agent 3.6.0: Ironic Python Agent Ramdisk This release is part of the stein stable release series. Download the package from: https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/ For more details, please see below. 3.6.0 ^^^^^ Prelude ******* Starting with this release, the Ironic Python Agent images used in the CI (tinyipa) run with Python 3 by default. New Features ************ * Adds secondary sorting by device name when guessing the root disk. This makes the selection process more predictable and increases the chances that systems which try only one device for booting will actually successfully boot after deployment. As the primary sorting is still done by size, the root device hints still take priority, and the current behaviour is basically not specifying the order beyond size, this change does not break backwards compatibility. * Allows image checksum to be a URL pointing at a file with the image checksum or several checksums. Deprecation Notes ***************** * Ironic community provided CoreOS IPA images are deprecated. These images utilize contents that are injected into CoreOS images which utilize a chroot environment to enable full and unrestricted hardware access. This decision is not taken lightly, and is due to multiple constraints combined with technical changes over time as CoreOS has evolved. Per the CoreOS limitations (https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest /booting-with-iso.html#known-limitations), as of January 2019, CoreOS: 1) Current CoreOS images require 2GB of RAM to operate. As a result of the RAM requirement, it is problematic for continious integration testing to occur with the CoreOS based Ironic-Python-Agent image in OpenStack testing infrastructure. 2) UEFI is not a supported configuration. CoreOS details the required use of BIOS compatibility mode. Intel is anticipated to remove BIOS compatibility by 2020 (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/11/intel-to-kill-off-the-last- vestiges-of-the-ancient-pc-bios-by-2020/). 3) CoreOS is moving to require container use via passing ignition configuration. Limitations explicitly state there are no strait- forward methods of passing ignition configuration to a CoreOS instance. Mainly the developed intent is for such data to be passed in via a metadata service or configuration drive. 4) With the previously mentioned use of containers and ignition configuration, the OEM loading path previously used with CoreOS is no longer available moving forward as it has been changed to read ignition configuration files (https://github.com/coreos/ignition/pull/475). Bug Fixes ********* * Fixes a bug with bad whole disk images and config drives, where we would attempt to write a config drive partition to the disk without a valid partition table. * Fixes an issue where the ironic-python-agent is not able to stop when running with python3.x. Other Notes *********** * Updates the tinyipa build scripts to support building and running Ironic Python Agent with Python 3. * Updates the tinyipa build scripts to TinyCoreLinux 8.x * Change the Python default version used to build and run the Ironic Python Agent in the Tiny Core based image to 3.6.
