#openstack-cyborg - 2018-09-05
14:12:48 zhipeng and dinners :)
14:12:54 Coco_gao Dinners~
14:13:22 zhipeng Ok let's go to the etherpad
14:13:30 zhipeng first organize the nova related topics
14:13:41 Sundar Li_Liu and all: please give your os-acc feedback in the spec before the PTG, in case you can't make it.
14:14:45 Li_Liu sure, will do.. I am kinda tied up recently. Will do some reviews in next couple days
14:15:09 zhipeng Sundar any idea for the Neutron cross discussion ?
14:15:13 zhipeng I really like that topic
14:15:28 Sundar zhipeng: Yes. Neutron has given a slot on Thu.
14:15:30 zhipeng shall we also invite Neutron guys over ?
14:15:43 Li_Liu can we propose it in Neutron's etherpad?
14:15:47 zhipeng Oh good, so we could talk them on Thu right ?
14:15:56 Li_Liu g8t
14:16:26 Sundar https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/neutron-stein-ptg Thu 3:15-4:15 pm
14:16:40 Sundar zhipeng: Yes
14:16:52 zhipeng nice !
14:17:26 Sundar There is also an Ironic/Neutron session on smart NICs. Not sure how far Cyborg will be involved there. But, since I am involved in that project, I'll be there too
14:17:29 zhipeng but we could align internally on Mon or Tuesday
14:17:41 Sundar Sure
14:18:18 Sundar As always, please give feedback in the etherpad early :)
14:19:39 Sundar We should have another session on broadening Cyborg scope to PCI devices. You might have seen Eric's question on whether we can handle IB for e.g. I think we can, without much architectural effort
14:19:59 Li_Liu Yes, that one
14:20:04 Li_Liu looking forward to it
14:20:12 Sundar The actual implementation, of course, can be left to whoever has the knowledge and resources for that :)
14:21:06 Sundar Also, how will Cyborg handle infrastructure offload? Like OVS offload?
14:21:27 Sundar Perhaps this is Neutron area, or may be Cyborg needs to be involved. One can argue both ways
14:21:45 zhipeng ya offload is another interesting area
14:21:57 zhipeng ovs/dpdk/ebpf offloading
14:22:23 zhipeng so what do we like for Monday morning ?
14:22:32 zhipeng retrospect of course
14:22:35 zhipeng and ?
14:23:09 Sundar Internal discussions -- lke db schemas?
14:23:38 Coco_gao after this, we can summarize what need to change in DB model and OVOs to make it more general.
14:23:47 zhipeng sounds good
14:24:14 Sundar RSD (composable arch) can also be Cyborg-internal to start with
14:24:26 Li_Liu Is Brian from Xilinx coming?
14:24:34 zhipeng i've no idea
14:25:02 Li_Liu I will follow up with him then, also the update on the Xilinx device drivers
14:25:10 dolpher Brian mentioned he could attend, but not confirmed with him
14:25:21 wangzhh We also need to disscuss how to handle different Arch. and system in cyborg.
14:26:22 Sundar wangzhh: can you elaborate? ^
14:28:01 wangzhh Such as x86, power(different) or libvirt, xen(different hypervisor).
14:28:47 wangzhh different Arch... Sorry.
14:29:15 wangzhh Some operations like attach and detach
14:29:37 Coco_gao I suggest we discuss the "evolution" after "General Accelerator Management", It don't know whether this will have impact on DB.
14:30:03 Sundar wangzhh: Nova folks say that the instane attach and hypervisor-specific but not device-specific) ops should be left to Nova virt (and possibly os-acc but even that is debated)
14:30:04 Coco_gao what wangzhh said just now may also have impact on DB
14:30:46 zhipeng the general mgmt will be a long way to go
14:31:04 Sundar Better to have Disaggregated servers as a separate topic
14:31:04 zhipeng and I want to make sure Eric Fried got time to join :P
14:31:06 shaohe_feng__ #info shaohe_feng_
14:31:34 zhipeng Sundar maybe under drivers ?
14:32:09 Sundar It will include representation etc.
14:32:34 wangzhh Sundar, It is vendor driver which handle these.
14:32:37 Sundar We can club it in any session :) as long as we know it will be wide-ranging
14:32:54 zhipeng ah alright :)
14:33:05 Sundar RSD is not vendor-specific :) Many OEM vendors support composable arch,
14:33:36 Sundar There is a large RSD+OpenStack effort outside of devices abd Cyborg
14:33:40 Sundar *and
14:34:13 Sundar We need to figure out how Cyborg fits in with Nova and others for that
14:34:38 zhipeng understood
14:35:04 shaohe_feng__ Sundar: does ironic support to compose a RSD node, now?
14:35:33 Coco_gao @jiapei
14:36:41 Sundar The composition is separate from whether it is provisioned as a bare metal server. But I think Ironic + RSD is already on the cards
14:37:29 Sundar There is a RSD openstack client to compose nodes: https://github.com/openstack/python-rsdclient
14:39:31 shaohe_feng__ yes, Do we need to integrate this client to ironic first?
14:39:58 Sundar Where do we fit infrastructure offload in these sessions?
14:40:50 shaohe_feng__ Sundar: I have submit in another project called mogan to support RSD. REF https://review.openstack.org/#/c/523052/
14:41:07 Sundar shaohe_feng: The client does not depend on Ironic, AFAIK. It works with RSD infra (Pod manager) to compose the node
14:41:55 zhipeng would be nice to migrate some of the mogan stuff over
14:43:25 Sundar shaohe: The RSD folks know about this effort, right?
14:43:26 shaohe_feng__ yes. but we need a project to support the RSD server
14:44:23 Li_Liu can we leverage Cyborg to support it?
14:44:30 shaohe_feng__ Sundar: I have not followed RSD in openstack for a long time. With discuss with dolpher about the progress.
14:45:37 zhipeng okey moving on
14:45:48 zhipeng plz take a look at the agenda etherpad
14:46:01 zhipeng feel free to propose your topic
14:46:19 zhipeng next topic, team dinner :)
14:46:32 zhipeng Tuesday night works for everyone ?
14:46:36 Li_Liu Shall we assign time slot on the topics? tho I don't think people will follow anyways :)
14:46:59 zhipeng Li_Liu haha we could assign that
14:47:01 Sundar Tuesday night is a conflict with Intel dinner :)
14:47:10 zhipeng Monday night ?
14:47:37 dolpher I'll check if we can have the RSD folk to give a brief introduction on RSD+cyborg plan/design
14:48:38 Sundar Dolpher: I am the one dricing RSD+Cyborg within ntel :)
14:48:45 Sundar *driving
14:48:59 Sundar zhipeng: Mon night is fie by me
14:49:13 Sundar *fine
14:49:45 zhipeng everyone else ?
14:49:56 zhipeng Monday night for team dinner ?
14:50:19 dolpher Sundar: I mean ask Lin(working on RSD) to give a introduction, it's also fine if you volunteer to do that :)
14:50:23 Li_Liu damn.. you guys have fine :(
14:50:56 dolpher I'm fine with Mon night
14:51:05 Coco_gao It's better to have a introduction,~
14:51:16 wangzhh Zoom dinner with u. Li_Liu
14:51:28 Sundar Sorry to revert back to a previous point briefly: #link https://github.com/openstack/python-rsdclient/blob/master/doc/source/user/User_Guide.pdf The user composes a node first and then enrolls it in Ironic using the ironicclient. The two steps are independent
14:51:31 Li_Liu lol. that sounds fun
14:51:34 Sundar Lin is working with me :) Sure.
14:52:29 dolpher Sundar: I know that :)
14:53:41 zhipeng dolpher wangzhh Coco-cao
