| 17:06:05 | sean-k-mooney | elodilles: just an fyi i have created a watcher release note prelude and will be proposing the cycle hights for it soon. once that is done i think we are also mostly done with watcher release artifacts | |
| 17:06:23 | sean-k-mooney | elodilles: my hope is to have those both merged before rc1 is created on thursday | |
| 17:08:57 | gibi | Uggla: FYI I've just approved https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/959604 As I consider the content to be safe to land close to RC1. We have extensive discussion about the solution on IRC last week | |

| 09:33:34 | Uggla | zigo would you be able to rebase your patch 930444: Update Debian qemu/libvirt/libguestfs versions | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/930444 on top of the one from tkajinam (https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/960301) ? | |
| 09:46:09 | opendevreview | Takashi Kajinami proposed openstack/nova master: Update Debian qemu/libvirt/libguestfs versions https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/930444 | |
| 09:46:26 | tkajinam | Uggla zigo, I've rebased it. I also modified it a bit because Trixie is already GA (UUIC) | |
| 09:46:57 | Uggla | tkajinam 👍 | |
| 09:48:21 | zigo | tkajinam: Great, thanks a lot ! | |
| 09:49:06 | zigo | This lists versions of qemu, libvirt and so on, right? | |
| 09:52:00 | zigo | Got it: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/libvirt-distro-support-matrix.html :) | |
| 10:03:39 | opendevreview | Merged openstack/nova master: docs: Update libvirt version support matrix for Flamingo https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/960301 | |
| 11:29:23 | sean-k-mooney | tkajinam: it is but it wont offilaly be supproted until next cycle aka friday | |
| 11:30:24 | sean-k-mooney | tkajinam: once master is reopend im hoping ot finish the work that was started to supprot it in devstack and swap the nova-hybird-plug job form 12 to 13 | |
| 11:32:15 | tkajinam | sean-k-mooney, yeah that's true | |
| 11:32:20 | tkajinam | due to python version | |
| 11:33:12 | sean-k-mooney | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/devstack/+/954653 | |
| 11:33:21 | sean-k-mooney | tkajinam: no | |
| 11:33:36 | sean-k-mooney | becuase we select the supproted plathforms before the release starts | |
| 11:33:47 | sean-k-mooney | and it was not release at the start of 2025.2 | |
| 11:33:58 | sean-k-mooney | openstack seams to work fine on it | |
| 11:33:58 | tkajinam | yeah that's true | |
| 11:34:07 | sean-k-mooney | but it will be an offical testign runtime form friday | |
| 11:34:12 | tkajinam | though I thought Trixie uses python 3.13 | |
| 11:34:28 | tkajinam | I understand what you mean | |

| 11:56:06 | gibi | Uggla: sean-k-mooney: elodilles: I've sent the question about pyroute2 req rollback to ML and proposed the req patch. https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/FFYMQTJPJREQZ2P32HGS5HE2NLTXHVUC/ and https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/960366 | |
| 12:05:06 | zigo | Your thoughts ? | |
| 12:05:06 | zigo | So I wonder, would the team agree for a feature to disallow spawning an instance with boot from volume, if it is with a flavor that has a system disk? Of course, that would be only an option (or a policy ?) and we could keep the usual old (permissive) behavior of the Nova API. | |
| 12:05:06 | zigo | However, there's a problem when customers are doing a boot from volume, and select a flavor that includes a system disk. In this case, they get billed for something they will never be able to use. | |
| 12:05:06 | zigo | At my company, we bill instances depending on their resources. ie: if you want a 20GB system disk, you get billed (linearly) for it. Nothing special here. | |
| 12:05:06 | zigo | Hi there! | |
| 12:12:10 | elodilles | gibi: ACK, thanks o/ let's see if we get an answer for req folks | |
| 12:12:19 | elodilles | s/for/from | |
| 12:43:05 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: just reading back | |
| 12:44:13 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: what do you mean by 20GB system disk, do you mean a flavor with nova provisioned storage i.e. root_GB and/or ephmeral_GB >0 | |
| 12:45:34 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: i advocated for blockign BFV instnace form using flavor with root_gb >0 when we prevented non boot form volume instance using flavors with root_gb=0 | |
| 12:45:57 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: in the past it was consier too large of a upgrade impact for exisign clouds to make that change | |
| 12:46:15 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: i dont think we can jsut block it. but what we coudl do is add a policy rule for it | |
| 12:46:39 | sean-k-mooney | we have a policy rule for allowing non BFV guest to use falvoar with 0 root_gb | |
| 12:47:17 | sean-k-mooney | we could add one for BFV with flavors that are not 0 | |
| 12:47:38 | sean-k-mooney | and then you could configure that to @ or a specific rule other then member | |
| 12:48:12 | sean-k-mooney | i dont recally if '@' is the sentenil for no one or everyoen but we have sental values for both | |
| 12:48:20 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: would somethign like that work for you | |
| 12:49:02 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: one thing that we should not break is bfv with non-zero ephmeral_gb | |
| 12:49:56 | sean-k-mooney | that is often sued to have the root disk run form say ceph while having an addtion ephmeral disk that uses fast local storage, i.e. for ectd or fast local scratch space | |
| 12:50:20 | zigo | "we could add one for BFV with flavors that are not 0" <--- That's what I would like, yes. | |
| 12:51:08 | zigo | Can it be done with an existing deployment already ? | |
| 12:51:09 | sean-k-mooney | gmaan is on pto but i think that woudl be consitent with our exisitng policies | |
| 12:51:47 | sean-k-mooney | yes so the policy rule change woudl jsut prevent you creatin new instnace in that state or resizing to that state | |
| 12:52:02 | sean-k-mooney | so existing workload woudl contiue to work | |
| 12:52:41 | sean-k-mooney | but if folks use heat/tereform ectra to automate deployment then it woudl break there automation | |
| 12:52:42 | zigo | Ok, I'll search how to do it then. | |
| 12:53:03 | sean-k-mooney | i.e. if they refence specifc flavors | |
| 12:53:05 | sean-k-mooney | oh | |
| 12:53:11 | sean-k-mooney | your asking if it cna be done today | |
| 12:53:17 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: sorry no | |
| 12:53:34 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: ill doubel check but i belive we dont have the policy rule today | |
| 12:54:30 | zigo | Ok. | |
| 12:54:39 | sean-k-mooney | https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/policies/servers.py#L288-L312 | |
| 12:55:04 | sean-k-mooney | that the existing one we have which does not do what you want but it prevent using an iamge with a 0 disk flavor | |
| 12:55:19 | sean-k-mooney | we need to add the inverse | |
| 12:55:44 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: the related config option is https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#DEFAULT.max_local_block_devices | |
| 12:56:29 | sean-k-mooney | what you could do modify the flavor that have local disk with a forbiden trait | |
| 12:57:03 | sean-k-mooney | then you could set DEFAULT.max_local_block_devices=0 on a subset of hosts adn use provider.yaml or the api to add a trait to those hosts | |
| 12:57:19 | sean-k-mooney | you could also do thie with the aggrate flavor extra specs filter | |
| 12:57:42 | sean-k-mooney | that woudl turn the combinaiton yuou want to block into a no valid host | |
| 12:57:56 | sean-k-mooney | honelsy however that is not a good solution for an existing cloud | |
| 12:58:15 | sean-k-mooney | that really intended fo diskless blade servers | |
| 12:58:29 | zigo | Thanks a lot, that's helpful. | |
| 12:58:40 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: there is one other non nova thing you coudl consider | |
| 12:58:54 | sean-k-mooney | currently i guess your doing flavor based billing | |
| 12:59:09 | sean-k-mooney | actully it might now work | |
| 12:59:25 | sean-k-mooney | i was going ot say you could look at the allocation in palcemetn, | |
| 12:59:27 | zigo | Yes we are doing flavor based billing. | |
| 12:59:41 | zigo | And today, a customer complained he was billed for a system disk he's not able to use. | |
| 13:00:02 | sean-k-mooney | i belive ofr BFV guest the allcoation for the instnace will not have disk as part of it for BFV guests | |
