| 16:15:55 | bauzas | so, now our master branch is Epoxy, spec up, folks ! | |
| 16:16:50 | bauzas | #topic Review priorities | |
| 16:17:00 | bauzas | #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2025.1-status | |
| 16:17:09 | bauzas | please add your review requests in that doc | |
| 16:17:22 | bauzas | I still have the AI to update our docs to mention it | |
| 16:17:31 | bauzas | (and I don't forget it) | |
| 16:17:38 | auniyal | I added 2 bugs-patches here in doc | |
| 16:17:43 | bauzas | cool | |
| 16:17:58 | bauzas | I'll do a bit of grooming and check the states | |
| 16:18:08 | bauzas | and add some notes for the other cores | |
| 16:18:16 | bauzas | #topic PTG planning | |
| 16:18:22 | bauzas | #info as a reminder, we'll meet (virtually) at the PTG on Oct 21-25 2024 | |
| 16:18:29 | bauzas | #info Please register yourself to the virtual PTG | |
| 16:18:38 | bauzas | #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2025.1-ptg | |
| 16:18:51 | bauzas | as you may have seen, I've already booked the rooms | |
| 16:19:13 | gibi | who will provide the virtual beers? ;) | |
| 16:19:34 | bauzas | this will be as usual 4 days of 4 hours, 1300-1700UTC | |
| 16:20:11 | bauzas | gibi: I can refill my very physical ones, but that's it unless folks travel to Grenoble | |
| 16:20:58 | bauzas | we may have one extra session on an asian-friendly timeslot | |
| 16:21:16 | bauzas | based on my trip to Suwon, KR, this may not be useless | |
| 16:21:34 | bauzas | and we may have an item at least : translating our docs | |
| 16:21:51 | auniyal | ++ from Asia | |
| 16:21:57 | bauzas | but I need to discuss that with ianwchoi and sungsoo | |
| 16:22:15 | gibi | I can take an early EU slot if that helps meeting the folks | |
| 16:22:26 | bauzas | I'll first ensure we have audience :-) | |
| 16:22:31 | gibi | :) | |
| 16:22:38 | tkajinam | yeah it may be important to reach out to some folks who may be interested to get their attendance | |
| 16:23:04 | tkajinam | I myself don't care about much about late meetings as I can settle the other things during my day but it may not be a common thing :-P | |
| 16:23:06 | bauzas | that's why I think the agenda is more important than the slots | |
| 16:23:11 | tkajinam | yup | |
| 16:23:52 | bauzas | I'll probably first reach out to ian and sungsoo and see whether they're available | |
| 16:24:28 | bauzas | tkajinam: I honestly share your pain about late meetings :-) | |
| 16:24:58 | bauzas | that's why it's important to ensure that those meetings are productive | |
| 16:25:21 | bauzas | (corrolar with very early meetings, per say) | |
| 16:25:37 | bauzas | anyway, moving on | |
| 16:25:53 | bauzas | #topic Stable Branches | |
| 16:25:58 | bauzas | elodilles: I hear ya | |
| 16:26:08 | elodilles | o/ | |
| 16:26:11 | elodilles | to be quick: | |
| 16:26:15 | elodilles | #info stable/202*.* gates seem to be OK | |
| 16:26:25 | elodilles | #info stable/2024.2 branches are present on all nova repos | |
| 16:26:30 | bauzas | I pretty much like the apparences | |
| 16:26:32 | elodilles | and that's all from me | |
| 16:26:44 | bauzas | elodilles: bug me with review requests | |
| 16:26:57 | elodilles | bauzas: ACK, will do | |
| 16:27:02 | bauzas | tbh, I'm currently diverted from upstream, so I need someone to harass me | |
| 16:27:40 | bauzas | particularly with release requests (although I see them in my mailbox) | |
| 16:28:29 | bauzas | #topic vmwareapi 3rd-party CI efforts Highlights | |
| 16:28:35 | bauzas | fwiesel: anything to mention ? | |
| 16:28:56 | fwiesel | Not much: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/910627?tab=comments is green, waiting for a reply from dansmith | |
| 16:29:23 | fwiesel | The CI is not 100% reliable, sometimes there are random failures. I'll have to find out why. | |
| 16:29:34 | bauzas | good luck with that | |
| 16:29:42 | fwiesel | That's from my side. | |
| 16:30:27 | bauzas | investigating a CI failure is sometimes harder than playing piano on a rope above one thousand feet | |
| 16:30:42 | bauzas | fwiesel: thanks | |
| 16:31:04 | bauzas | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:31:12 | bauzas | (gibi): Seeking approval for: Support hw_vif_model igb | |
| 16:31:18 | bauzas | gibi: your turn | |
| 16:31:19 | gibi | o/ | |
| 16:31:43 | gibi | so new enough libvirt and qemu supports to emulate a new nic type igb (old intel nic) | |
| 16:31:57 | gibi | the big benefit of it is for testing | |
| 16:32:08 | bauzas | yuuup | |
| 16:32:10 | gibi | as igb support SRIOV with 7 VFs per PF | |
| 16:32:35 | gibi | nova support hw_vif_model image property to ask for a nic type | |
| 16:32:44 | gibi | I'd like to extend the supported values there with ig | |
| 16:32:45 | gibi | ig | |
| 16:32:47 | gibi | igb | |
| 16:32:59 | gibi | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/igb-vif-model | |
| 16:33:10 | bauzas | two questions | |
| 16:33:11 | gibi | https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp/igb-vif-model%22 | |
| 16:33:19 | bauzas | 1/ does it require a new os-vif release ? | |
| 16:33:22 | gibi | no | |
| 16:33:44 | bauzas | 2/ I guess you have a plan for rolling-upgrades ? | |
| 16:34:28 | gibi | yes. there is a new trait for the new igb vif model, libvirt driver will expose it only if both libvirt and qemu is new enough to support it | |
| 16:34:46 | gibi | and the image properies pre-filter adds the trait to the placement query | |
| 16:34:54 | bauzas | and then we'll schedule the instance with pre-filtering with that trait | |
| 16:35:02 | gibi | yepp | |
| 16:35:06 | bauzas | okay, sounds the right pattern to me | |
| 16:35:15 | tkajinam | +1 | |
| 16:35:22 | gibi | the code is up with documentation included | |
| 16:35:35 | bauzas | I don't see any other design concern | |
| 16:35:37 | gibi | it impacts os-traits and nova, + glance doc | |
| 16:35:46 | bauzas | yup, saw the series | |
| 16:36:11 | gibi | it is unfortunately non backportable due to ovo change | |
| 16:36:17 | bauzas | I honestly like the approach of a specless blueprint if we can avoid a spec just for the trait thing | |
| 16:36:39 | bauzas | there is no upgrade impact, since all the support will be made additive | |
| 16:37:02 | gibi | yepp | |
| 16:37:05 | bauzas | and there are no API changes, despite an image property additon | |
| 16:37:14 | gibi | yepp | |
| 16:37:42 | gibi | frickler was super nice and proposed cirros update to have the igb kernel module in cirros available | |
| 16:37:56 | bauzas | pardon my ignorance but do we have flavor extraspecs with hw:vif_model ? | |
| 16:38:13 | gibi | there is no flavor extra spec for that | |
| 16:38:20 | bauzas | perfect | |
| 16:38:43 | gibi | so I will be able to add a tempest test that actully proves that VFs can be created in the guest | |
| 16:38:57 | bauzas | okay, I don't see any reason to not accept that blueprint as specless, but is anyone having concerns with the design ? | |
| 16:39:50 | tkajinam | no | |
| 16:39:57 | bauzas | let's be it. | |
| 16:40:05 | gibi | \o/ | |
| 16:40:13 | bauzas | #agreed https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/igb-vif-model approved as specless | |
| 16:40:22 | bauzas | I'll do the paperwork right after the meeting | |
