Open Stack

Hi,

We are glad to present this week's priorities and subteam report for Ironic. As usual, this is pulled directly from the Ironic whiteboard[0] and formatted.

This Week's Priorities (as of the weekly ironic meeting)
========================================================
1. CI migration to Zuul v3: take legacy jobs in tree: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-zuulv3-intree-tracking
    1.1. repair stable branches by backporting the jobs to them
2. Move the "ironic" CLI to "latest" version: https://review.openstack.org/515064
3. BIOS interface spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/496481/

Vendor priorities

OpenStack Priorities
====================

Python 3.5 compatibility (Nisha, Ankit)
---------------------------------------
- Topic: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:goal-python35+NOT+project:openstack/governance+NOT+project:openstack/releases
    - this include all projects, not only ironic
    - please tag all reviews with topic "goal-python35"
other patches for experimental gates are not merging as core reviewers are asking to add the python3 builder in running gates instead of duplicating them in project-config project. https://review.openstack.org/462487,
https://review.openstack.org/462695, https://review.openstack.org/462701 and https://review.openstack.org/462706
- Raised https://review.openstack.org/495766 for testing ironic-inspector without swift functionality - planning to raise the same under ironic-inspector under zuulv3.
- anupn to update the python3 job to build tinyipa with python3
- we need to make the ironic job voting eventually. but we need to check that nova, glance and neutron already have voting python 3 jobs, otherwise they may break us.

Deploying with Apache and WSGI in CI (vsaienk0)
-----------------------------------------------
- ironic is mostly finished
    - (pas-ha) needs to be rewritten for uWSGI, patches on review https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507011/3
    - do we have install-guide bits on how to do it?
- inspector is TODO and depends on https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1525218

Split away the tempest plugin (jlvillal)
----------------------------------------
- Proposed patch to create all the patches: https://review.openstack.org/489762
- Current (23-Oct-2017) (jlvillal): We should wait until the stable branches have been migrated to in-tree configuration. Once that is done. We should pull the trigger on this.
- jlvillal talked to infra and they suggested we do a batch upload as there are about 70 patches to merge in.
- need to port new patches in ironic/ironic-tempest-plugin (jlvillal)
- need to migrate ironic-inspector/ironic-tempest-plugin (jlvillal)

Subprojects
===========

Inspector (dtantsur, milan)
---------------------------
- the keystone context&policy patch merged: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507826/
- the firewall refactoring into an iptables-based PXE filter driver was merged: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/471831/
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1725211 was reported; the introspection abort thru ironic (spec https://review.openstack.org/#/c/482867/) should be "based" on this (goal from virtual inspector PTG)
- let's focus on the dnsmasq-based PXE filter driver implementation as this week's inspector review priority

Bifrost (TheJulia)
------------------
- Quiet - TheJulia needs to pick backup a few items here in the short term. Volunteers to work on CI job migration would be appreciated.

ironic-ui (ppiela, TheJulia)
----------------------------
- Selection of interfaces upon enroll is up for review and requiers another review:
    - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/473957

Drivers:
--------

DRAC (rpioso, dtantsur)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Dell Ironic CI is being rebuilt, its back and running now (10/17/2017)


Cisco UCS (sambetts)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Currently rebuilding third party CI from the ground up after it bit the dust
- Patches for updating the UCS python SDKs are in the works and should be posted soon
.........

Until next week,
--Rama
