| 16:04:43 | Uggla | #info Please look at the gate failures and file a bug report with the gate-failure tag. | |
| 16:04:49 | Uggla | #info Please try to provide a meaningful comment when you recheck | |
| 16:05:27 | Uggla | Look quickly at the reports, I have not seen something wrong. Please tell me if I'm wrong? | |
| 16:06:45 | tkajinam | I'm not aware of any problem so far | |
| 16:07:16 | Uggla | #topic Release Planning | |
| 16:07:21 | Uggla | #link https://releases.openstack.org/gazpacho/schedule.html | |
| 16:07:32 | Uggla | #info Nova deadlines are set in the above schedule | |
| 16:07:39 | Uggla | #info PTG etherpad for 2026.1 is available: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-ptg | |
| 16:07:53 | Uggla | I will probably open 2026.2 this week | |
| 16:08:01 | Uggla | #info This week is RC1 target week. | |
| 16:08:42 | Uggla | We will probably hold the RC1 until Thursday. | |
| 16:09:21 | dansmith | "hold" it? | |
| 16:09:23 | dansmith | like delay it? | |
| 16:09:37 | Uggla | yep delay. :) | |
| 16:10:02 | Uggla | reasons in the next points. | |
| 16:10:08 | dansmith | okay | |
| 16:10:12 | Uggla | #topic Review priorities | |
| 16:10:20 | Uggla | #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-status | |
| 16:10:39 | Uggla | Starting here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-status#L70 there are interesting bugs to improve live migration. So I would like cores to review them. | |
| 16:10:57 | Uggla | I know some of them have already been merged. | |
| 16:11:14 | Uggla | And others seem in a good shape. | |
| 16:11:30 | dansmith | the first I clicked on has a -1 from you still | |
| 16:11:41 | dansmith | but yeah will take a look | |
| 16:11:42 | opendevreview | Thibaut Démaret proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Spec for default SSD rotation rate on instance disks https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/979694 | |
| 16:12:08 | Uggla | dansmith the are others with +2 from sean-k-mooney | |
| 16:12:12 | dansmith | ack | |
| 16:12:45 | dansmith | they seem to conflict with each other and aren't stacked though, which is unfortunate | |
| 16:12:48 | Uggla | so first reason of delaying is to try to introduce these patches. | |
| 16:12:49 | dansmith | or at least, two do | |
| 16:13:49 | Uggla | Second reason, if about the confidential computing refactoring. gibi is following it. | |
| 16:15:37 | Uggla | Last reason is what we will discuss later in open topics. | |
| 16:15:38 | sean-k-mooney | Uggla: not sure which patch our refeing to | |
| 16:15:48 | sean-k-mooney | but i can catch up later | |
| 16:16:08 | bauzas | I can try to look at some | |
| 16:16:08 | dansmith | Uggla: what about the refactor? I don't see that on the status page | |
| 16:16:28 | bauzas | the SEV refactor series is a blueprint so it can't be merged now | |
| 16:16:41 | dansmith | the status page has quite a list to cram in before thursday.. and I guess I'm wary of the neutron SDK stuff | |
| 16:17:12 | dansmith | those sorts of things tend to have corner cases and since they're not fixing anything or anything that should be user-visible they seem high risk, low reward to me | |
| 16:17:39 | Uggla | sean-k-mooney I was refering to 965927: Add regression test for bug #2088066 | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/965927 | |
| 16:17:40 | dansmith | bauzas: yeah, anything refactor seems like undue risk given where we are | |
| 16:17:44 | opendevreview | Thibaut Démaret proposed openstack/nova master: Add default SSD rotation rate for instance disks https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/979693 | |
| 16:17:55 | sean-k-mooney | Uggla:ack thanks | |
| 16:18:17 | Uggla | dansmith, I don't want to force anything. Just trying to land what is possible. | |
| 16:19:12 | Uggla | So if you think it is not ready, or risky, it will be for next cycle. | |
| 16:19:18 | opendevreview | Thibaut Démaret proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Spec for default SSD rotation rate on instance disks https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/979694 | |
| 16:19:21 | sean-k-mooney | at this point if its not a regressioin intoduced this cycle i would wait until we have cut RC1 | |
| 16:19:30 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: ++ | |
| 16:19:44 | sean-k-mooney | that happeinginn on thurday if i recall correctly | |
| 16:20:15 | Uggla | sean-k-mooney yes. | |
| 16:20:22 | dansmith | I'll have to look at the other fixes here like the volume stuff but I suspect they're all fairly latent state tracking things that aren't hugely recent/relevant | |
| 16:21:24 | Uggla | dansmith ok | |
| 16:22:03 | Uggla | I have nothing else. So we can move on unless someone wants to add something else. | |
| 16:22:41 | opendevreview | Thibaut Démaret proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Spec for default SSD rotation rate on instance disks https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/979696 | |
| 16:23:32 | Uggla | #topic Stable Branches | |
| 16:23:52 | elodilles | thanks o/ | |
| 16:23:58 | elodilles | #info stable/2026.1 branch were cut for libraries | |
| 16:24:05 | elodilles | #info stable/2026.1 branch will be cut for nova and placement this week, along with RC1 releases | |
| 16:24:16 | elodilles | #info nova stable gates should be OK, but placement and osc-placement have blocked stable gates (setuptools/pkg_resources issue), see details in tracking pad | |
| 16:24:30 | elodilles | i forgot about these in the past weeks ^^^^ :S | |
| 16:24:37 | elodilles | #info stable branch status / gate failures tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-branch-ci | |
| 16:24:49 | elodilles | Uggla: that's all from me about stable things | |
| 16:25:08 | Uggla | thx elodilles. | |

| 16:26:10 | Uggla | #topic vmwareapi 3rd-party CI efforts Highlights | |
| 16:26:25 | fwiesel | Hi, no updates from my side. | |
| 16:26:41 | Uggla | ok thx fwiesel | |
| 16:27:37 | Uggla | skipping next point as gibi is not available. And eventlet was merge already. | |
| 16:27:50 | Uggla | #topic Nova using openstack sdk for neutron | |
| 16:28:01 | lajoskatona | o/ | |
| 16:28:31 | lajoskatona | No progress since last week, as we agreed to push these patches early 26.2 | |
| 16:28:55 | dansmith | ++ early in a cycle is the time for stuff like this :) | |
| 16:29:06 | lajoskatona | +1 | |
| 16:29:50 | Uggla | yep it is what we mentionned last week. We will try to merge lajoskatona sdk client stuff earmy next cycle. | |
| 16:30:22 | dansmith | cool | |
| 16:30:57 | Uggla | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:31:07 | Uggla | We have a topic from melwitt | |
| 16:32:13 | melwitt | hi, yes, wanted to discuss about the possibility of an exception for vtpm live migration remaining patches | |
| 16:32:51 | melwitt | the 'host' security mode for live migration has merged but the 'deployment' mode is still outstanding | |
| 16:33:34 | melwitt | the 'deployment' mode is the one where the nova service user owns the barbican secrets. | |
| 16:33:37 | dansmith | I haven't reviewed above what we've merged... well, except for the fixup patch | |
| 16:33:57 | bauzas | it will be difficult to review it for 3 days left given the RC1 deadline | |
| 16:34:13 | dansmith | looks like the last review from anyone on that patch was almost two years ago (Aug 2024) | |
| 16:35:04 | dansmith | yeah, I'm not sure how we could even consider this an FFE candidate given it's not like "reviewed but just didn't make the deadline"... | |
| 16:35:40 | dansmith | and as sean-k-mooney just said above, candidates for things right now should really be "regression introduced this cycle" | |
| 16:35:59 | sean-k-mooney | im a littel sad the deployment mode was not done first | |
| 16:36:10 | sean-k-mooney | but ya i think it woudl be better to finish it early next cycle | |
| 16:36:40 | dansmith | really? i think host is the most useful mode | |
| 16:36:53 | sean-k-mooney | deployment requried the least code chage | |
| 16:37:01 | dansmith | I guess we don't know until ops start deciding but I guess I think host is what most of them will want | |
| 16:37:05 | sean-k-mooney | that why i asked for it to be first since it did nto need to object change | |
| 16:37:19 | sean-k-mooney | but i didnt object to the current order | |
| 16:37:28 | sean-k-mooney | just suggested the other one was less invaisve | |
| 16:37:42 | dansmith | *shrug* I was more focused on getting host in because I _suspect_ it's the thing people will want | |
| 16:37:51 | dansmith | but yeah I get your point | |
