| 16:22:11 | bauzas | obviously, we could have other topics after next week, but I'd prefer to have a lot of them by next week | |
| 16:22:21 | gibi | ack | |
| 16:22:23 | bauzas | so, please do this if you want to discuss | |
| 16:22:57 | bauzas | also, I said last week I was starting to draft the operators etherpad | |
| 16:23:02 | bauzas | so | |
| 16:23:03 | gibi | also would be nice to have a countdown til the PTG, we have 4 weeks til the PTG if I count well | |
| 16:23:18 | bauzas | #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/oct2022-ptg-operator-hour-nova | |
| 16:23:27 | bauzas | gibi: hah, good point | |
| 16:23:39 | bauzas | #info 4 weeks before the PTG | |
| 16:23:50 | elodilles | (i count only 3 weeks) | |
| 16:23:56 | bauzas | #undo | |
| 16:23:56 | opendevmeet | Removing item from minutes: #info 4 weeks before the PTG | |
| 16:24:00 | bauzas | #info 3 weeks before the PTG | |
| 16:24:16 | bauzas | that depends on how you count but yeah | |
| 16:24:34 | gibi | yeah | |
| 16:24:40 | gibi | then I lost a week :/ | |
| 16:24:52 | bauzas | #link https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/schedule.html#a-ptg | |
| 16:25:10 | bauzas | me too, I'd like to look at the open specs | |
| 16:25:18 | bauzas | anyway | |
| 16:25:39 | bauzas | about the operators etherpad, I just created a few topics as you see | |
| 16:25:46 | bauzas | the same ones we had from Berlin | |
| 16:26:01 | bauzas | if you want to add more topics for asking operators, add them | |
| 16:26:45 | bauzas | (keeping in mind we have two operator hours on Tues and 1 hour on Wed) | |
| 16:27:21 | bauzas | anything to mention about the PTG ? | |
| 16:29:01 | bauzas | looks not | |
| 16:29:10 | bauzas | #topic Review priorities | |
| 16:29:18 | bauzas | #link https://review.opendev.org/q/status:open+(project:openstack/nova+OR+project:openstack/placement+OR+project:openstack/os-traits+OR+project:openstack/os-resource-classes+OR+project:openstack/os-vif+OR+project:openstack/python-novaclient+OR+project:openstack/osc-placement)+(label:Review-Priority%252B1+OR+label:Review-Priority%252B2) | |
| 16:29:43 | bauzas | nothing to tell about those | |
| 16:30:53 | bauzas | moving on | |
| 16:31:04 | bauzas | #topic Stable Branches | |
| 16:31:08 | bauzas | elodilles: time is yours | |
| 16:31:14 | elodilles | #info stable/yoga is unblocked openstacksdk fix has merged | |
| 16:31:22 | elodilles | #info stable/stein (and older) are blocked: grenade and other devstack based jobs fail with the same timeout issue as stable/train was previously | |
| 16:31:30 | elodilles | #info stable branch status / gate failures tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-branch-ci | |
| 16:31:42 | elodilles | and that is all from me | |
| 16:32:16 | bauzas | ok | |
| 16:32:39 | bauzas | thanks all for unblocking the yoga branch | |
| 16:33:37 | elodilles | yepp, thanks to openstacksdk team | |
| 16:34:04 | bauzas | ok, anything to add ? | |
| 16:34:41 | bauzas | ok, eventually the last topic then | |
| 16:34:51 | bauzas | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:35:02 | bauzas | #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/859290 Add support of Napatech SmartNICs | |
| 16:35:08 | bauzas | justas_napa: tell us more | |
| 16:35:18 | justas_napa | So maybe I'll start with a quick intro | |
| 16:35:35 | justas_napa | I'm Justas Poderys, product architect working on Napatech LinkVirtualization products | |
| 16:36:05 | justas_napa | We have been running OpenStack on our SmartNICs for over a year now, and internally support (via patches) everything from Victoria to Zed | |
| 16:36:41 | justas_napa | Going forward we'd like to enable OpenStack to work with Napa's smartnics out of the box | |
| 16:36:56 | justas_napa | for that we would like to add a VIF type corresponding to Napatech SmartNIC | |
| 16:37:08 | justas_napa | ein a simmilar fashion like Netronomes Agillio | |
| 16:37:33 | justas_napa | But at the same time we do not need a new VNIC type | |
| 16:37:33 | bauzas | do you work with Neutron ? | |
| 16:37:38 | justas_napa | Yes | |
| 16:37:46 | bauzas | so I guess you also have a neutron spec | |
| 16:38:15 | justas_napa | We have extremely small update to Neutron, but yes, we will do a Neutron spec as well | |
| 16:38:55 | bauzas | this doesn't look a lot of change for nova, right? | |
| 16:39:11 | bauzas | we already support *some* smartnic experiments | |
| 16:39:13 | justas_napa | no, I think it's less than 50 lines | |
| 16:40:13 | bauzas | justas_napa: I guess you already know about what Nova supports by the Wallaby release ? | |
| 16:40:16 | justas_napa | We will publish all changes to Nova and Os-Vif on OpenDev in the next few days | |
| 16:40:33 | justas_napa | bauzas What do you mean? | |
| 16:41:08 | bauzas | sorry, wrong release | |
| 16:41:13 | bauzas | justas_napa: I was talking of https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/xena/implemented/sriov-smartnic-support.html | |
| 16:41:39 | bauzas | oh wait no, my bad | |
| 16:41:45 | bauzas | again, wrong spec | |
| 16:42:15 | bauzas | https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/yoga/implemented/integration-with-off-path-network-backends.html | |
| 16:42:57 | bauzas | anyway, I just pointed out the existing specs | |
| 16:43:10 | bauzas | afaics, this is just a review ask | |
| 16:43:28 | bauzas | so, we'll review it | |
| 16:43:43 | bauzas | justas_napa: would you want to discuss your topic during the PTG ? | |
| 16:43:51 | bauzas | in case we have concerns | |
| 16:43:52 | justas_napa | Sure, I can do that | |
| 16:44:15 | bauzas | thanks | |
| 16:44:19 | bauzas | if you can't do, no worriezs | |
| 16:44:27 | justas_napa | Re: off-path networking backed - we are in the progress of integrating Intel Big Spring Canyon platform to du just that | |
| 16:44:32 | bauzas | justas_napa: and you don't need to be on the whole PTG times | |
| 16:44:57 | bauzas | justas_napa: we could just ping you when we are at the topic | |
| 16:45:01 | justas_napa | sure | |
| 16:45:15 | bauzas | thanks | |
| 16:45:30 | justas_napa | So what's the path from here: 1. We puiblish code changes and ask for review in channel? | |
| 16:45:35 | justas_napa | and then PTG? | |
| 16:45:38 | bauzas | anyone having questions or thoughts for this ? | |
| 16:45:49 | bauzas | justas_napa: indeed | |
| 16:45:56 | justas_napa | cool. | |
| 16:46:17 | bauzas | we will review your spec first, but if you have implementation changes, that would be nice | |
| 16:46:29 | bauzas | as if we have concerns, we could just look at your changes | |
| 16:46:36 | justas_napa | Yes, we have implemetation changes as well, since we are running it internally anyway | |
| 16:46:38 | gibi | I agree with bauzas | |
| 16:46:40 | bauzas | to understand what you need | |
| 16:47:21 | justas_napa | btw - is it OK to bring one more topick to PTG. Specifically, how to support Packed Ring Libvirt option (packed=on) and which project should implement that. | |
| 16:47:27 | bauzas | justas_napa: I guess you know how to depend on neutron changes ? | |
| 16:47:38 | bauzas | justas_napa: yeah, no worries | |
| 16:47:46 | bauzas | the PTG is here for discussing | |
| 16:48:08 | justas_napa | Yes, I'm aware that we need changes in Nova *and* Neutron to make this work | |
| 16:48:18 | bauzas | justas_napa: my only concern is about how to test your nova changes if you need an os-vif release | |
| 16:48:33 | bauzas | as you can't Depends-On | |
| 16:48:52 | bauzas | gibi: correct for os-vif, right? | |
| 16:49:17 | bauzas | I meant, can we depend-on os-vif patches ? | |
| 16:49:29 | gibi | I'm not sure either | |
| 16:49:49 | justas_napa | I'll put this also as TBD item for our dev team | |
| 16:49:59 | bauzas | justas_napa: do you understand about my question ? | |
