| 16:02:06 | bauzas | #info Please look at the gate failures and file a bug report with the gate-failure tag. | |
| 16:02:11 | bauzas | #info Please try to provide a meaningful comment when you recheck | |
| 16:02:20 | bauzas | anything to mention about the gate ? | |
| 16:02:35 | bauzas | I think we no longer have a gate failure now :) | |
| 16:03:39 | tkajinam | yeah | |
| 16:03:54 | bauzas | cool | |
| 16:03:57 | bauzas | moving on | |

| 16:07:25 | bauzas | approved the workaround | |

| 16:08:22 | bauzas | #topic vmwareapi 3rd-party CI efforts Highlights | |
| 16:08:28 | bauzas | fwiesel: around ? | |
| 16:08:33 | fwiesel | Hi | |
| 16:08:52 | bauzas | o/ | |
| 16:09:00 | fwiesel | Yes, I looked into the pipeline failures, and instance creations were slowed down to that extend that no instances were being created. | |
| 16:09:32 | fwiesel | #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.vmware/+/997269 | |
| 16:10:01 | fwiesel | This should reduce the overhead of doing api calls against VSphere, but I am suspecting it is not the full picture. | |
| 16:10:09 | fwiesel | Still digging into it. | |
| 16:10:13 | fwiesel | That's from my side. | |
| 16:11:24 | bauzas | cool thanks | |
| 16:11:31 | bauzas | #topic Kamil's news about eventlet removal | |
| 16:11:41 | bauzas | sambork ? | |
| 16:11:52 | sambork | o/ | |
| 16:12:20 | sambork | last week was dominated by test stabilization: the unit test exclude list is gone, and there's a push to make the threading functional CI job voting. | |
| 16:12:53 | gibi | e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2161293 ^^ | |
| 16:13:07 | sambork | he code cleanup is moving forward by replacing Nova-internal threading utilities with futurist primitives (both nova and futurist patch are pushed and ready for review) | |
| 16:13:31 | sambork | eom | |
| 16:13:51 | sambork | anything to add gibi? (thanks for bug above) | |
| 16:14:14 | gibi | fwiesel's finding is sort of eventlet related and I made mental note about performanc of the oslo retry decorator that could effect nova as well not just oslo.vmware | |
| 16:14:38 | gibi | we might want to take a hard look of the usage of that and consider tenacity's cheaper retry all over the place | |
| 16:15:32 | gibi | aaand I still haven't filed the bug to switch the default of our unit test execution to threading and just keep one tox job for unit test + eventlet | |
| 16:15:47 | bauzas | that's nice we no longer have unit test exclude list | |
| 16:15:47 | gibi | but I will I promise... eventually... | |
| 16:16:20 | gibi | btw the functional threading job has only 2 test case excluded | |
| 16:16:26 | bauzas | nice | |
| 16:16:42 | gibi | and at least I understand the problem in one of them :): | |
| 16:16:45 | bauzas | nice | |
| 16:17:30 | sambork | do we need additional ticket for checking retries? and do we wan to priorities this? | |
| 16:17:52 | gibi | sambork: please file a bug just to not forget it | |
| 16:17:59 | gibi | right now I don't feel it has a high prio | |
| 16:18:09 | sambork | ack | |
| 16:18:17 | gibi | but it might become one based on performance results from downstream testing | |

| 16:19:34 | gibi | that is basically the report for the SNP status ^^^ :) | |
| 16:19:49 | antia | perfect timing :) | |
| 16:19:52 | gibi | yeah | |
| 16:19:59 | gibi | we can move on | |

| 16:20:45 | bauzas | #topic Nova using openstack sdk for neutron | |
| 16:20:49 | bauzas | who is leading that ? | |
| 16:21:20 | elodilles | this is Lajos' topic if i'm not mistaken and he is still on PTO | |
| 16:21:32 | bauzas | cool moving on then | |
| 16:21:54 | bauzas | #topic Ironic review priorities | |
| 16:21:59 | bauzas | anything to say ? | |
| 16:23:43 | bauzas | looks not | |
| 16:23:48 | bauzas | #topic Confidential computing, status of SNP and TDX features | |
| 16:23:53 | bauzas | I've seen good news | |
| 16:24:27 | tkajinam | the remaining sev-snp patches lust landed so sev-snp support was completed | |
| 16:24:33 | tkajinam | \o/ | |
| 16:24:40 | gibi | \o/ | |
| 16:24:44 | tkajinam | I just noticed that https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/amd-sev-snp-libvirt-support is not yet approved. can someone do so ? | |
| 16:24:54 | tkajinam | then I'd update its implementation status | |
| 16:25:24 | gibi | done | |
| 16:25:27 | antia | I suppose the same for https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/intel-tdx-libvirt-support | |
| 16:26:31 | antia | anyway I ended up with PTO last week so not much on TDX side | |
| 16:26:31 | tkajinam | because these changes were merged tdx needs another rebase but I think we are now fully ready to start it. | |
| 16:26:38 | gibi | antia: fixed the bp for that too | |
| 16:26:48 | antia | gibi: thanks! | |
| 16:27:08 | gibi | I will grab a TDX hardware this week (hopefully) | |
| 16:27:22 | antia | started with some catch up with SNP and rebased with master, noticed some changes to the test structure which results in errors for me | |
| 16:27:29 | antia | I suspect it’s because the exists mock that was dropped in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/994343/18/nova/tests/fixtures/libvirt.py | |
| 16:27:36 | antia | Since this is the error "Exception: This test invokes builtins.open on /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/tdx. It is bad, you should mock it." | |
| 16:28:00 | antia | gibi: Cool! Will get you something to test :) | |
