Open Stack


Hi Ildikó,

> Hi Cyborg Team,

> I’m working with the CNTT community[1], they are working on building reference architecture for telecom workloads. Cyborg is important for their work to be able to utilize hardware acceleration > resources.

> We are planning to use the Train version of OpenStack projects including Cyborg and it would be great to be able to switch to the v2 API as v1 is deprecated now. If my understanding is correct > the v2 API implementation in Train is partial, but the documentation[2] doesn’t give accurate view about what is included.

Yes,your understanding is correct,the v2 API implementation in Train is partial. I would update the documentation soon.
I would recommend you to use the stable/ussuri version(instead of train release) of cyborg for two reasons: 1) API V2 in ussuri is complete while that of train is incomplete 2)the nova-cyborg integration[3] was not landed until Ussuri[4],so the integration in Train is also partial[5]. So if CNTT wants the complete accelerator management function,it would be better to use cyborg ussuri.

> The CNTT team would like to be able to integrate and access the whole v2 API if that is possible. It would be great to discuss the options that we could use on the way forward. Would it be > possible to bring this up and discuss on an upcoming Cyborg team meeting?

Yes, sure. We can bring this up on the next weekly meeting on this Thursday 03:00 UTC at #openstack-cyborg, I have added this to meeting agenda[6].
