Hi all, I have deployed openstack through kolla ansible deployment tool and
i want to know that how to add firewall as a service in openstack release

Hi,

I would never deploy dedicated network node until I?m going to pumps gigs
and gigs of traffic in/out. 

Anyway in DVR ( you can run network node function on each compute nodes)

I would go with OVN deployment and skip network nodes. Just controller and
compute. 

If I?m future you can easily add dedicated network node and distribute
traffic. 

If you go with VLAN based provider then you really don?t need network node.

Thanks for raising it.

It seems Sue volunteered to PTL for Masakari this month [1] so they should
be able to help here.
I am adding their email explicitly here in case they did not read the
openstack-discuss ML.

This version corresponds in reality to the last version generated during
2023.1/antelope [3]. All the versions of oslo.db generated during Bobcat are
for now ignored by our runtime. However all these generated versions are all
listed in our technical documentation as supported by Bobcat.

different services (heat, manila, masakari, etc). We update our technical
documentation each time we produce a new version of a deliverable, so before
upgrading the upper-constraints. This is why the listed versions diverge
from the versions really supported at runtime.

knows our libraries are all based on external libraries who could evolve
toward new major releases with breaking changes. That was the case oslo.db
where our goal was to migrate toward sqlalchemy 2.x. Leading to stuck
upper-constraints.

a divergence between officially supported versions and runtime supported

can be really problematic. By reading our technical documentation and our
release notes, they can think that we fulfill those prerequisites. This kind
of government requirement often arrives. It can be requested for a vendor
who wants to be allowed to sell to a government, or to be allowed to respect
some specific IT laws in a given country.

team to adopt the latest versions of oslo.db and sqlalchemy 2.x.

Stephen even contributed well beyond the oslo world, by proposing several
patches to migrate services [9]. Unfortunately a lot of these patches remain
yet unmerged and unreviewed [10], which has led us to this situation.

services. Indeed the main cause of this issue is that some services are not
able to follow the cadence, and therefore they slow down libraries'
evolutions and maintenance. Hence, their requirements cross job reflect this
fact [11]. This lack of activity is often due to the lack of maintainers.

Stephen's elegant solution allowed us to solve failing cross jobs [14] and
hence, allowed us to resync our technical documentation and our runtime.

within Openstack. As evidenced by the constant decrease in the number of

is a partial solution that won't work for our services.

upper-constraints update remains blocked for a while, and then look at the

services, remain unmerged. Then the TC would be informed.

Without them we wouldn't have solved the oslo.db and castellan case in time.
However, I think we lack of aTC involvement a little bit earlier in the
series to avoid fire fighter moments. The monitoring would officialize
problems with deliverables sooners in the life cycle and would trigger a TC
involvement.

Solving this type of problem cannot only rest on the shoulders of one
person. Let's take collective initiatives now and put in place safeguards.
