#openstack-nova - 2022-09-14
07:38:47 obre Hi all! I wonder if it is possible for me to propse a small change to nova? In short I would like to add a config-option allowing us to specify the value nova-compute reports to placement for VCPU:max_unit. The use-case is to avoid having instances consuming all CPU's of a compute-node (ex: I do not want instances using 24 cores to end up on my hypervisor with 24 cores; Id
07:38:50 obre rather want them on larger hypervisors). Does it make sense?
07:40:13 obre I am able to write the changes needed in nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py and nova/conf/compute.py, I just wonder if this is something that makes sense for me to try push upstream; or if there are obvious blockers I dont see?
07:40:56 gibi obre: I'm wondering. it might be already possible with a provider.yaml file https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/managing-resource-providers.html
07:41:16 gibi but if not, then I would enhance that facility to configure max_unit
07:41:21 obre gibi: Only for resources named CUSTOM_*
07:41:28 obre gibi: AFAIK
07:41:50 gibi could be. so I would suggest to extend that for non CUSTOM_ resources too
07:42:21 gibi so if somebody wants to do the max_unit on memory tomorrow then we have a generic solution
07:43:21 obre I think the reason for only allowing CUSTOM is to avoid having conflicts within nova; as nova already reports values for VCPU, MEMORY_MB and DISK_GB in its virt drivers.
07:44:28 obre So I guess that if we extend the provider.yaml to also allow setting these we need to do major work to ensure that it does not create conflicts?
07:45:13 obre Thats why I am basicly thinking that something similar to reserved_host_memory_mb, reserved_host_cpus and reserved_host_disk_mb is tempting for min/max_unit for these values.

08:16:16 obre gibi: I am unable to find the real reason to only allow specifying CUSTOM inventories/traits through provider.yaml, but I guess there is a reason for this limitation? And that you not really want me to create a patch simply removing the check that traits/inventories specified in provider.yaml starts with "CUSTOM_"?
08:17:03 gibi obre: good point about the possible conflict.
08:17:24 gibi obre: I think max_unit will not be a conflict as nova never specify that other than 1
08:18:10 gibi obre: as of why we have the limitation today, I think we wanted to avoid thinking through all the possible conflict scenarios when we first introduced the provider.yaml to limit the scope of that first step.
08:19:07 gibi obre: I agree that defining VCPU.total via provider.yaml needs thinking and some agreement what does that mean, which input has higher priority the virt driver or the provider.yaml one
08:19:29 gibi but I don't think you need VCPU.total you only need RC.max_unit to be allowed for your use case
08:20:56 obre Yes; it is basiclu max_unit which is relevant; but the driver sets that to the same value as "total" quite explicitly:
08:22:20 obre https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L8797-L8804
08:23:56 obre And since we have the CONF.reserved_host_cpus, it seemed like a similar solution for max_unit (and even min_unit) would make sense, and be consistent with something that already exists.
08:50:08 opendevreview Amit Uniyal proposed openstack/nova master: Adds check if blk_dev_info has correct flavor.swap https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/857339
09:05:21 gibi obre: I'm not saying having a dedicated CONF is not a valid alternative. I think both direction worth thinking.
09:05:43 gibi obre: there are couple of ways to get a bit wider input for the ideas
09:07:09 gibi i) try to put it on the agenda of the next nova meeting https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Nova 2) try to file a blueprint and a spec describing the alternatives https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/#process 3) raise this as a Project Team Gathering topic in https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-antelope-ptg
09:12:20 auniyal_ O/
09:12:29 opendevreview Eigil Obrestad proposed openstack/nova master: Config parameters for min/max cpu/memory allocation. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/857595
09:12:30 auniyal_ please review this -https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/852737
09:13:14 auniyal_ https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/857339
09:14:54 obre gibi: I submitted a change to illustrate what I consider to be the simplest solution. Ill have a look at your three alternatives in a little while. First I need to eat and do a little bit of other work.
09:15:23 gibi obre: sure :)
09:25:54 opendevreview Ghanshyam proposed openstack/osc-placement master: Switch to 2023.1 Python3 unit tests and generic template name https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/osc-placement/+/856787
09:28:53 opendevreview Ghanshyam proposed openstack/os-vif master: Switch to 2023.1 Python3 unit tests and generic template name https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/856783

10:15:22 obre gibi: To "try to put it on the agenda of the next nova meeting"; is that simply updating the agenda on the wikipage?
10:15:57 gibi obre: there is an #topic Open discussion and under that you can add your topic
11:32:04 opendevreview Takashi Natsume proposed openstack/nova master: Update min supported service version for Zed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/856895
11:32:51 sean-k-mooney bauzas: gibi can we land this before RC1 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/831844
11:33:15 sean-k-mooney its addign the centos 9 fips job to the weekly periodic
11:33:24 sean-k-mooney pipelien and experimental
11:33:42 sean-k-mooney its finally passing again so it woudl be nice to include that so it can run on stable
11:34:10 sean-k-mooney without having to backport it explcitly to stable when the branch is cut
11:34:30 sean-k-mooney gmann:^ you have reviewd that before
11:36:48 gmann sean-k-mooney: +W
11:37:00 sean-k-mooney gmann++ many thanks
11:37:51 sean-k-mooney gmann: did you see my question here https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/856783/2#message-3aaeaa39501922e15ae5bfebb78fdf8e5c4c262c
11:38:38 sean-k-mooney are we goign to branch the openstack-python3-jobs via job vairiant
11:38:53 sean-k-mooney to make sure that the jobs in that template do not change on stable branches
11:41:19 gmann sean-k-mooney: yes, replied, like this we can do - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstack-zuul-jobs/+/856903/2/zuul.d/project-templates.yaml#1600
11:41:41 gmann we will pin the changed job for stable and master once new release and change in python version jobs
11:44:22 sean-k-mooney ack thats all i needed to know. i assuemd ye would use job variant and the branches key
11:46:33 sean-k-mooney gmann: so with this change if we do it on nova and all the other compute deliverable we never need to review/merge these defualt job template paches again right :)
11:46:57 sean-k-mooney its just the central review going forward for the job variant
11:55:35 gmann sean-k-mooney: right. we do not need to update template name in nova side
11:56:10 sean-k-mooney that will be nice
11:56:26 sean-k-mooney its not like this takes much time but less manual stuff every release it a good thing
13:09:31 bauzas cores, can we please review https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/857467 (prelude)
13:09:37 bauzas this becomes critical
13:09:46 bauzas sean-k-mooney: gibi: others
13:09:53 sean-k-mooney oh the prelude
13:09:57 sean-k-mooney sure ill do it now
13:10:08 bauzas gracias and danke
13:10:15 sean-k-mooney i tought we had already merge that but it was the release highlights i was thinking of
13:10:31 sean-k-mooney for marketing
13:10:59 bauzas correct
13:11:18 bauzas cycle highlights go to some other website
13:11:37 bauzas here, the prelude is just for ops not wanting to read the long list of things we have in the relnotes
13:11:41 sean-k-mooney -1 i think you ment zed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/857467/1/releasenotes/notes/zed-prelude-a3cddb8b2ac8e293.yaml
13:12:08 sean-k-mooney otherwise i think it looks ok to me
13:13:04 sean-k-mooney if you fix that im +1
