#openstack-nova - 2026-04-17
11:29:38 sean-k-mooney its not the content of hte patch that was the issue it was the lack fo time to provide feedback
11:49:35 bauzas sean-k-mooney: I think, the easiest if you want is for me to revert https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/agentic-workflows/+/985027 which was at the top
11:50:07 bauzas and then I'll revert the revert so we can discuss about the AGENTS.md in the new gerrit patch if that's simplied
11:50:26 sean-k-mooney lets not jump right to that
11:50:39 bauzas now the README.md is pretty small
11:50:46 sean-k-mooney as steph said its merged but there are large part of it that i want to review in detail and refine
11:50:49 bauzas so I guess we definitely need to discuss about te structure
11:51:09 sean-k-mooney yes i have a very diffent vission from you of how this repo should be stucureed
11:51:28 sean-k-mooney adn how the code-review skill shoudl work
11:51:55 sean-k-mooney for exampels i do not think we shoudl have any personas in the repo
11:52:28 bauzas sean-k-mooney: so if you don't me to revert, please provide a new change for changing what you want
11:52:47 sean-k-mooney i will but im still reviewing all the open chnages
11:52:57 sean-k-mooney to do what stephen suggested
11:53:05 sean-k-mooney which is building a set of topic to dicusss
12:21:09 bauzas sean-k-mooney: stephenfin: want me to create another IRC channel for the project ? I don't want to hit the nova channel to be a lot of discussions for the project and ralonsoh could be join as well
12:21:31 stephenfin probably premature before next week
12:21:32 sean-k-mooney am we can
12:21:46 sean-k-mooney but ya lets wait
12:25:10 sean-k-mooney i mean we can create it if you want but i porably have already spent more tiem on this then i should have since i have things to prepare before the ptg
12:27:09 bauzas I just joined #openstack-agentic-workflows so you can join too, but agreed, I wouldn't add it in openstack/project-config until next week
12:27:45 bauzas I'd rather prefer us to discuss there
12:38:08 ralonsoh bauzas, I'm ok with this. We can also, if needed, create a weekly meeting
12:38:16 ralonsoh but that could be discussed in the PTG, in any case
12:38:23 ralonsoh but yes, the channel would be perfect
12:39:27 gibi is this agentic-workflows something that should be a TC driven cross project goal? I think so. But then we need to agree on what is in scope of that goal and propose that in the governance repo
12:39:53 bauzas gibi: see https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/984958
12:40:10 bauzas that wouldn't be a TC goal, rather a TaCT SIG new project
12:40:30 gibi ack
12:40:45 bauzas ralonsoh: you can join the channel as I did, we can discuss there until we officially add it in project-config
12:41:03 gibi but that patch does not seems to define the scope
12:41:18 bauzas gibi: there is no real scope per say
12:41:39 bauzas scope is about adding skills and subagents related to OpenStack
12:41:41 gibi and is that good that we are going in without some scope definition?
12:42:00 gibi how do we check if we are going to the right direction, or when we are done?
12:42:02 ralonsoh #join project-config
12:42:03 bauzas but the project doesn't have scope about how to use it by upstream
12:42:08 ralonsoh arggggg
12:42:21 bauzas ralonsoh: nah, join #openstack-agentic-workflows
12:42:29 ralonsoh yeah hehehe
12:42:34 gibi scope also helps judging contributions about is it in scope? is it out of scope?
12:45:16 bauzas gibi: there aren't yet conventions about judging contributions for it atm, but there are already some guidelines from agentskills about evaluating skills that I'd like us to do https://agentskills.io/skill-creation/evaluating-skills
12:47:22 gibi OK so one of the implicit scope / goal item is to apply https://agentskills.io/skill-creation/evaluating-skills going forward.
12:47:33 gibi can we collect these implicit things and make them explicit
12:47:56 opendevreview Kamil Sambor proposed openstack/nova master: Test nova CLI commands with native threading https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/984036
12:48:03 bauzas gibi: the problem with skill evaluations is that you need to be able to use LLMs for evaluating them
12:48:16 bauzas so we can't run CI upstream jobs atm
12:48:32 bauzas I added this item for the TC topic we'll discuss next week
12:49:44 gibi you can define goal and scope regardless of if an item in the goal is CI verifiable or not. j
13:13:30 bauzas gibi: true

13:54:51 Zhan[m] Hi friends, I have two quick live migration related improvements for review, wondering if I can get some quick feedback on the ideas? Thanks! https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/978255, https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/976311
13:57:41 stephenfin sean-k-mooney: just a reminder about https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/984918, in case you got distacted by the agent stuff :)
13:58:16 stephenfin (if it's already on your list, sorry for the noise)
14:12:43 opendevreview Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: Fix functional tests and mypy on macOS https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/937727
14:55:57 winiciusallan[m] folks, I saw a lot of discussion on the mail list about a spot instance service in Nova, some people have even start implementing, but this wasn't go further
14:56:04 winiciusallan[m] CERN has a external service for this https://gitlab.cern.ch/cloud-infrastructure/aardvark
14:56:29 winiciusallan[m] do you know by chance if having this kind of service integrated into Nova is interest for the community?
15:00:08 winiciusallan[m] i'm thinking of implementing this as part of my final thesis. this will make other research regarding billing and charge strategies easier to evaluate
15:14:06 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova master: tox: Remove override of install_command https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/984918
15:14:48 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova master: docs: Update development-environment guide https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/984956
15:42:51 sean-k-mooney winiciusallan[m]: we decieed that it should not be in nova
15:43:24 sean-k-mooney we reivwed the sepec and went back and forth but decieed it shoudl live as its own thing external to nova
15:43:44 sean-k-mooney winiciusallan[m]: i have tought that this could live in watcher in the future
15:43:52 sean-k-mooney there is also a host based version in blazar today
15:44:23 sean-k-mooney but i think watcher can facilatate a more granular approch similar to the orgianl concept
15:49:38 winiciusallan[m] sean-k-mooney: yeah, thinking about watcher it looks more natural considering the architecture of the service
15:50:32 winiciusallan[m] I dropped a message on scientific-sig asking if people have use cases or gaps that they would like to improve
15:51:14 winiciusallan[m] one from NASA talked about GPUs being expensive and it might be a use case for them
15:51:22 sean-k-mooney i dont know if i ever wrote up a spec for it there. but the idea was to annotate the isntance via the flavor or instance metadta wiht lifecycle:premtable=ture
15:51:45 winiciusallan[m] others from CERN and nectar-rc use aardvak
15:52:05 sean-k-mooney then have a new goal for permation and 1-n stragies for how to dop it
15:52:38 winiciusallan[m] sean-k-mooney: +1 with this approach. this is how the first spec was written on nova
15:53:26 sean-k-mooney so the firction with doing this is nova is https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/contributor/project-scope.html#no-more-orchestration and https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/contributor/project-scope.html#no-more-orchestration
15:53:26 winiciusallan[m] probably different strategies for how to find the best instance to preempt and also being possible to extend a custom strategy
15:53:31 winiciusallan[m] sounds good
15:54:01 sean-k-mooney we have basicly said we do not want to build complex orchstration logic in nova or optimise for batch processing
15:54:16 sean-k-mooney but we want to make sure that higher level service can express the policy on top
15:54:35 sean-k-mooney which is where aardvark or watcher can play a role
15:55:33 sean-k-mooney winiciusallan[m]: ya so there are a lot of intersting way to decie which instnace to preempt and what that means (either delete or shelve)
15:55:42 sean-k-mooney for example delete oldest first
15:55:50 sean-k-mooney delete bigest first
15:56:02 winiciusallan[m] best fit and so on...
15:56:17 sean-k-mooney delete instnace on expensive hosts or where there is pressure based on mettrics
15:56:31 sean-k-mooney so watcher with its plugable goals and stragies
15:56:38 sean-k-mooney woudl allow you to experiment with those
15:58:34 sean-k-mooney winiciusallan[m]: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RHOSRFE-142 is a downstream tracker i filed to do this "eventualy"
15:58:57 sean-k-mooney but its not someting i have had time to activly work on and i dont expect to actully do that any time soon
15:59:27 winiciusallan[m] i'll be happy to help you with this if it is possible
16:00:02 sean-k-mooney https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/r.bf5f1185e201e31ed8c3adeb45e3cf6d#L747
16:00:09 winiciusallan[m] I need to sync from my side what is the scope for my thesis, there is a slighly chance of testing different strategies...
16:00:36 sean-k-mooney well if you want to talk about this more in the context of watcher feel free to reach out in #openstack-watcher
16:00:54 sean-k-mooney we are also haveing the PTG next week so we could chat about it more there too if you were interested
16:02:11 sean-k-mooney winiciusallan[m]: no worries either way, that the most recent context i can provide on this topic so if you do or do not have scope to wrok on this either is fine
16:03:21 winiciusallan[m] at a first moment, i was thinking of discussing this on nova ptg, but since answered me in advance we can discuss this on watcher's ptg
16:03:31 winiciusallan[m] let's take the discussion to #openstack-watcher
16:03:34 winiciusallan[m] joining there
