#openstack-nova - 2022-09-20
16:43:39 gibi sean-k-mooney: yepp, that was my suggestion to obre too, lift the provider.yamls restriction
16:43:43 bauzas placement was designed for such usecases
16:43:48 obre But then you would like to lift that restriction, and then have nova-compute check its inventories before setting the default-values if none exists?
16:44:34 sean-k-mooney yes nova compute
16:44:46 sean-k-mooney would instead of hardcoding its min/max/step values
16:44:51 gibi yepp
16:44:51 obre Basicly similar to how we do allocation_ratios; just without the config-file option.
16:44:52 sean-k-mooney get tehm form provider.yaml
16:45:26 obre Im not entirly sure I am able to figure all this out by myself; but Ill give it a try; and see if I can manage to write such a patch :)
16:45:59 gibi obre: feel free to ping me here with questions. I can try to look at the code and help
16:46:43 obre gibi: Thanks!
16:46:46 obre gibi: I probably will.
16:46:48 gibi I'm sure we have some unit / functional test coveragae on provider.yaml to play with
16:47:07 sean-k-mooney we will need to modify the schma
16:47:23 bauzas looks like we have an agreement and further steps to
16:47:37 sean-k-mooney and introduce a new adjective(exisitng) https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/ussuri/approved/provider-config-file.html#provider-config-file-schema
16:47:43 bauzas obre: the next step for you I guess is to write a blueprint
16:48:01 sean-k-mooney and then lift the resticion on the resouce_class startign with CUSTOM_
16:48:07 sean-k-mooney so this would likely need a spec
16:48:15 bauzas I was debating it
16:48:16 sean-k-mooney to spell it out clearly
16:48:39 sean-k-mooney it will need a new schema_version at a minium
16:49:00 gibi I agree to have a small spec if we need to figure out a new schema
16:49:02 sean-k-mooney i think there is enough of a change required that a spec would be helpful for documentation if nothing elses
16:49:09 bauzas #agreed sounds a valid usecase that requires a blueprint and a spec to be filled in order to address how to properly manage inventories override by placement.yaml file
16:49:33 bauzas obre: do you feel comfortable with this process ? do you need help ?
16:49:50 bauzas or is that whole think old greek to you ?
16:49:55 bauzas thing*
16:50:03 obre bauzas: Ill probably need a bit of help yes.
16:50:11 bauzas obre: you got my nick
16:50:20 obre bauzas: Im not really a developer; more a sysadmin :P
16:50:22 bauzas obre: ping me tomorrow and I'll point you some docs and examples
16:50:32 obre bauzas: Whats your timezone?
16:50:41 bauzas obre: well, specs are formal textfiles, so you shouldn't be afraid :)
16:50:50 bauzas obre: CEST
16:51:06 bauzas that matches then
16:51:09 obre So then the workdays probably sync up :P
16:51:20 bauzas I'm more than happy to help you
16:51:26 obre bauzas: Great!
16:51:41 bauzas our processes can look a bit scary but those are just design documents
16:52:11 obre Ill sorta understand why we need the formal process; Its just that I would have preffered an easier solution for _my_ problems :P
16:52:11 bauzas basically, the idea is just to identify all potential design concerns (upgrades or others) before they come up at review time
16:52:18 obre But its fine :P
16:52:32 gibi :)
16:52:34 bauzas obre: you're litterally at the very beginning of the cycle :)
16:52:45 bauzas so, you wouldn't hear 'sorry, too late'
16:53:08 bauzas the point is, you have gibi and me for helping you out
16:53:14 obre \o/
16:53:16 sean-k-mooney obre: one thing to think about is do you want this to be config driven. api driven or both
16:53:25 sean-k-mooney we will need to document tha tin the spec
16:53:29 bauzas sean-k-mooney: I tought we said config-driven
16:53:33 bauzas as provider.yaml
16:53:46 sean-k-mooney yes but provide.yaml can say -1
16:53:51 sean-k-mooney which means this is api contoled
16:53:57 sean-k-mooney or something like that if we care about that usecase
16:54:02 bauzas making it api-driven means we accept our inventories to be changed thru osc-placement
16:54:09 sean-k-mooney so im assuming config driven is enough
16:54:12 obre I think it makes sense to be as close to the way we do CUSTOM_* today as possible?
16:54:16 sean-k-mooney and if so the that simple
16:54:27 bauzas stick to the bare minimum requirements :)
16:54:45 bauzas people could come up with api-driven needs later if they want to :)
16:54:54 sean-k-mooney ok just that was going to be one of the question si would ask in the spec review
16:55:01 sean-k-mooney so i didnt want it to come out of the blue
16:55:16 bauzas sean-k-mooney good point, stating that api-driven is out of the spec seems reasonable
16:55:39 sean-k-mooney yep we can state is as not a usecase we want to enabel now in the alternitives
16:55:46 bauzas anyway, we're approaching end of time and we have a way forward
16:55:50 sean-k-mooney obre: anyway as bauzas said keep it simple for now
16:55:57 obre sean-k-mooney: Ack.
16:56:11 bauzas anything to else to bring before we call it out ?
16:57:02 bauzas looks not
16:57:11 bauzas so, I hereby officially declare the meeting as over.
16:57:14 bauzas thanks all

16:57:18 bauzas #endmeeting
16:57:23 elodilles thanks bauzas o/
16:57:24 gibi thank you folks
16:57:33 gibi I sign off for today now o/
16:57:46 bauzas me too
16:57:49 bauzas Java time !
16:57:53 sean-k-mooney bauzas: gibi im going to push the default change
16:57:58 sean-k-mooney shortly just an fyi
16:58:10 sean-k-mooney runnign test now but ye can get to it tommorw or whenever
16:58:14 bauzas sean-k-mooney: then, ping me once it's done
16:58:26 sean-k-mooney sure
16:58:34 bauzas sean-k-mooney: fwiw, I'll also try to reconnect with the tick-tock cadence
16:59:27 sean-k-mooney this is not really impacted by tick-tock cadance
16:59:55 bauzas sean-k-mooney: correct, that's what I was recollecting
17:00:04 bauzas that's only B relnotes
17:00:11 bauzas that need to be forward-ported to C
17:00:13 bauzas IIRC
17:00:38 sean-k-mooney am no it would be if it was a deprecation
17:00:52 sean-k-mooney to remove a config option we would have to deprecate in A and then could remove in B
17:01:02 sean-k-mooney but we cant depcreate in B and remove in C
17:01:03 bauzas anyway, I'll be late for listening about microservices and serverless knative :)
17:01:19 sean-k-mooney ack chat to you tomorrow
17:04:21 sean-k-mooney artom: you should read over https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1989357
17:04:34 sean-k-mooney as a potential usecase for the fqdn work
