| 14:52:16 | gibi | interop as two clouds with the same API microversion behaving differently because they are on different nova-api software level? | |
| 14:53:11 | gibi | if so, that is super limiting. I.e. if a bugfix changes a nova 500 to a nova 200 and an active server, that is an interop issue in that definition as such bug fix changes the observed behavior of nova on the same microversion | |
| 14:53:39 | gibi | but we are tend to fix bug to change the observed behavior of nova | |
| 14:54:05 | gibi | anyhow this is a wider discussion | |
| 14:55:53 | gmaan | yeah, we had one such cases 2.42 microversion for network device tag which we added in 2.33 microversion, introduced bug which removed it from schema 2.37?, then added back in 2.42 microversion | |
| 14:56:39 | gmaan | it is mainly issue for users/apps moving from cloud allowing whitespace SG name to cloud rejecting them | |

| 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 | |

| 16:08:22 | 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 | gibi | but I will I promise... eventually... | |
| 16:15:47 | bauzas | that's nice we no longer have unit test exclude list | |
| 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 | |
