| 16:03:22 | Uggla | Let's start hopefully other folks will join shortly. | |
| 16:03:31 | Uggla | #topic Bugs (stuck/critical) | |
| 16:03:36 | Uggla | #info No Critical bug | |

| 16:03:55 | Uggla | hey sambork, hi ! | |
| 16:04:13 | Uggla | #topic Gate status | |

| 16:04:40 | Uggla | #info Please look at the gate failures and file a bug report with the gate-failure tag. | |
| 16:04:46 | Uggla | #info Please try to provide a meaningful comment when you recheck | |
| 16:05:09 | Uggla | I have not seen something special around the gate, please tell me if I'm wrong. | |
| 16:05:19 | gibi | o/ | |
| 16:05:26 | gibi | Uggla: I also checked this morning | |
| 16:05:48 | gibi | as on Friday we switched the nova-compute default to native threading | |
| 16:06:01 | Uggla | gibi, something frightening I missed ? | |
| 16:06:05 | gibi | but I haven't seen any suspicious failure in nova or in neighboring project | |
| 16:06:28 | gibi | Uggla: it is frightening but so far the monster remained in the woods | |
| 16:06:46 | gibi | I keep an eye on it | |
| 16:07:10 | Uggla | It also means that G release will not have this enabled right ? | |
| 16:07:19 | gibi | right, it is H | |
| 16:07:31 | gibi | where we switched the default for compute and conductor | |
| 16:07:42 | gibi | in G for these the default is eventlet still | |
| 16:07:53 | Uggla | Yep I saw that this morning looking at the latest patches. | |
| 16:08:40 | bauzas | o/ (late) | |
| 16:08:43 | Uggla | So that it is coherent with G as experimental | |
| 16:08:43 | Uggla | Yep, so I will tell that in the highlight. G = eventlet, H = native threads | |
| 16:08:53 | gibi | yepp | |
| 16:09:11 | gibi | for compute and conductor | |
| 16:09:22 | gibi | for api, metadata and scheduler F=eventlet G=native | |
| 16:10:10 | Uggla | ah yes it is a bit more complex, but perfectly cleat now. So I should not say something wrong in the highlights. | |
| 16:10:11 | gibi | https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/concurrency.html | |
| 16:10:19 | gibi | if you ever in doubt ^^ | |
| 16:10:26 | Uggla | 👍 | |
| 16:10:36 | Uggla | anything else about gate ? | |
| 16:10:41 | gibi | - | |
| 16:10:59 | Uggla | So moving on to the next topic | |
| 16:11:10 | Uggla | #topic Release Planning | |
| 16:11:23 | Uggla | #link https://releases.openstack.org/gazpacho/schedule.html | |
| 16:11:29 | Uggla | #info Nova deadlines are set in the above schedule | |
| 16:11:35 | Uggla | #info PTG etherpad for 2026.2 is available: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.2-ptg | |
| 16:11:42 | Uggla | #info This is a "work in progress document", but you can enter you topics at the bottom of the document | |
| 16:12:00 | Uggla | #info Gazpacho should release this week. | |
| 16:12:12 | Uggla | #info we will discuss Hibiscus release planning at the PTG. | |
| 16:12:26 | Uggla | #info Gazpacho Openstack Infra live this week, Thursday 2nd april 14:00 UTC | |
| 16:12:27 | gibi | there is a tentative plan at https://releases.openstack.org/hibiscus/schedule.html | |
| 16:13:16 | Uggla | yeah gibi is right, there is a "draft" plan that we will adjust at the PTG. | |
| 16:13:43 | Uggla | #topic Review priorities | |
| 16:13:51 | Uggla | #link New file for Hibiscus https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.2-status | |
| 16:14:01 | Uggla | #info I have updated Launchpad and the above doc. Please ping me if you spot something missing. | |
| 16:14:11 | Uggla | #info Starting: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.2-status#L16 interesting bugs to review. | |
| 16:14:49 | Uggla | I have reviewed topic:"bp/generalize-sev-code", gibi any chance you review it again ? | |
| 16:15:24 | gibi | Uggla: on my list among other things | |
| 16:15:51 | Uggla | gibi ok no pb | |
| 16:16:12 | Uggla | tkajinam, thanks for your answer on the ML for AMD-SNP. | |
| 16:16:43 | tkajinam | Uggla, np | |
| 16:17:30 | Uggla | Do you think you can have a draft spec to discuss at PTG ? And then give the hand for refinement and implementation to someone else ? | |
| 16:17:50 | tkajinam | yeah I can | |
| 16:17:59 | tkajinam | I also had a chat with some folks from LY regarding sev-snp and they told me that they already created their own implementation. | |
| 16:18:29 | tkajinam | I guess they are also preparing spec in their side. I'll check it with them in case they are ready to submit their version | |
| 16:18:41 | Uggla | super cool, thanks. And interesting to know that people for LY corp already have something. | |
| 16:18:56 | Uggla | Any chance to have a joined spec ? | |
| 16:18:59 | tkajinam | masahito, just fyi ^^^ | |
| 16:19:07 | tkajinam | yeah I think that's better | |
| 16:20:33 | gibi | just to my limited brain capacity, so this means tkajinam will help with the spec (joint or not) but we need somebody who takes over and implements it | |
| 16:20:41 | gibi | is it a correct understanding? | |
| 16:20:53 | Uggla | gibi, yes | |
| 16:20:56 | gibi | OK | |
| 16:21:25 | Uggla | Anton will work on the TDX implementation though. | |
| 16:22:25 | gibi | I feel that even with the refactoring we have a chance that the TDX and the SNP work will merge conflict, do we have some mitigation planned, or we just use the first come first server rule? | |
| 16:22:47 | Uggla | Noob question regarding HW, what is supporting AMD-SNP ? Special AMD CPUs ? | |
| 16:22:57 | sean-k-mooney | on the topic of the PTG we likely need to schdule a cyborg cross project session but i have not formulated a specific adgenda yet. | |
| 16:23:04 | tkajinam | Technically I can provide a draft code but I may not have enough time to set up test environment for it. (due to my focus shifting away from these confidential computing things atm) | |
| 16:23:15 | sean-k-mooney | Uggla: not specificly specil but ranter a specific genreation | |
| 16:23:16 | tkajinam | Uggla, yeah you need specific generation of EPYC processor which supports SEV-SNP | |
| 16:23:34 | sean-k-mooney | as in i think you need 3rd generation EPYC or later | |
| 16:23:41 | tkajinam | and relatively new kernel + qemu + libvirt, which actually supports host features to use SEV-SNP | |
| 16:23:42 | tkajinam | yeah | |
| 16:24:15 | sean-k-mooney | i woudl need to check but i think we have access interenaly to at least 1 AMD host that supprot SNP | |
| 16:24:16 | Uggla | ok gonna check what is required in term of HW, to know if we have host supporting it. | |
| 16:25:06 | tkajinam | gibi, I agree these two can cause conflict but I guess the conflict can be easily resolved because we don't expect object change. | |
| 16:25:13 | Uggla | gibi, regarding the merge conflic, I expect a lot from the refactoring to limit them. | |
| 16:25:23 | gibi | OK | |
| 16:25:41 | Uggla | but we will see. | |
| 16:26:33 | Uggla | I think we are done with that topic. | |
| 16:27:25 | Uggla | And yes sean-k-mooney, we can work together to have a cross session with cyborg. | |
| 16:28:11 | Uggla | FYI, I will be on PTO next week, but back 1 week before PTG to prepare it. | |
| 16:28:37 | Uggla | ok moving on to next topic | |
