OpenStack status
by Mark McLoughlin 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hey, It's been a while since I've done one of these, so I'll start with the bigger items since the last report: - OpenStack was approved as a Fedora 16 Feature and F-16 itself was released http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack - Diablo was released upstream and this was what was included in F-16 http://wiki.openstack.org/ReleaseNotes/Diablo - A number of us attended the Essex Design Summit in Boston. A really worthwhile event with lots of very productive discussions. - At the design summit, it was agreed to start maintaining a stable branch with important fixes backported from the development branch. This is now up and running: http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch - We held a Test Day with a nice set of test cases that can still be used by anyone who wishes to test OpenStack in Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-10-20_OpenStack_Test_Day Many thanks to everyone who turned up! - Thanks to the awesome work of Miroslav Grepl and Bob Kukura, we got SELinux policy for Nova in time for the Test Day: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/734346 - The "getting started" wiki page has been further extended and includes instructions on using MySQL, adding a separate compute node and fully cleaning up an OpenStack install: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_Nova - Worth noting is that folks have been successfully testing OpenStack in a VM by adding "--libvirt_type=qemu" to nova.conf - Pádraig Brady, David Busby and others have been making good progress on getting OpenStack into (and working on) EPEL6 - Swift hasn't yet been updated in F-16 to the Diablo version, but David Nalley has posted some test packages here: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-November/000937.html - Keystone was packaged, reviewed and added to F-16 and EPEL6: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/735179 It should work fine with Diablo's Nova, Swift and Glance. However, no-one was done any serious testing of it in Fedora yet or provided test cases and/or howto instructions. - An issue with python-greenlet on i686 which was causing Nova to segfault has been fixed: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-15311 - Support for Fedora's iSCSI tgtadm (as opposed to ietadm) was added upstream and backported in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/737046 Thanks to Dave Malcolm and Pádraig Brady for sorting this one! - A nasty IPv6/dnsmasq issue was fixed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/737015 - A RabbitMQ update broke things for a while, but a new version was pushed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/738067 - Nova switched to github/gerrit upstream, so no more bzr! - Upstream are now developing against SQLAlchemy 0.7.2 (the version in Fedora) which should mean we see less of the types of compatibility issues we've seen in the past: https://review.openstack.org/708 - Upstream's install_venv.py tool for developers now works correctly on Fedora, which should make it easier to work on OpenStack upstream using Fedora - Discussions have started around how an OpenStack Foundation should be governed. I did my best to argue that it should be governed by representatives of the contributor base rather than appointed representatives of the sponsoring companies: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2011-October/000032.html http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/foundation/2011-October/000036.html - Vish, the Nova maintainer, announced a big bunch of "subteams" upstream. If you want to subscribe to 10 more mailing lists, here's your chance :-) https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg04839.html - On the Orchestration sub-team, Fedora's Andrew Beekhof has proposed the use of Pacemaker Policy Engine by Nova's scheduler: http://www.mail-archive.com/nova-orchestration@lists.launchpad.net/msg00005… - Richard Jones suggested we use a "supermin" appliance in order to provide Fedora images for use with OpenStack: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/cloud/2011-October/000874.html - Michal Fojtik added OpenStack support to Deltacloud: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-deltacloud-dev/201110.mb… Cheers, Mark.

new EC2 region launched
by Max Spevack 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Dennis, Something that might interest you for when you've recovered from the rest of the F16 release (congrats again, BTW). AWS launched the us-west-2 region today. http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2011/11/08/Announcing-new-us-west… Do we have a Cloud SIG ticket tracker where we put in a request for the F16 AMIs to be registered in that region, or is that what this list is for? Thanks, Max

Fedora Core 14 and high memory instances
by Dima Brodsky 15 Nov '11

Hey, Quick question, is there any easy way to make FC14 recognize the high memory instances; i.e. more than 32 GB ttyl Dima -- ddbrodsky(a)gmail.com "The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity.

New openstack-nova update
by Mark McLoughlin 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hey, I've just pushed a new update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openstack-nova-2011.3-7.fc16 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openstack-nova-2011.3-8.el6 It's basically an update to the latest upstream stable branch. I hope we'll do a 2011.3.1 release from the branch soon, so this is a preview of that. I've done some basic testing myself and it seems in good shape. Please test and give it karma. Thanks, Mark.

What say you to openstack(a)lists.fp.org or even > openstack-maint(a)lists.fp.org? Maybe #fedora-openstack on Freenode too? Ok, consensus seems to be to stick with the cloud SIG mailing list. Perhaps everyone can make a concious effort to keep the list more up to date with what they're working on? > On a related note, I've been quick to approve requests for commit > permissions on these packages in order to encourage folks to get > involved.

I think David's point about established packagers makes sense. So, we'll say that it's fine to liberally grant commit to established packagers, but we (I) should be a bit more cautious and only grant it to new packagers when they have a contribution they want to push. Cheers, Mark.

OpenStack maint team
by Mark McLoughlin 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hey, Everyone on the To: list has commit permissions on some of the OpenStack packages. It's quite a big list! :-) As more people get involved with packaging OpenStack in Fedora/EPEL, I think we need to figure out how to co-ordinate ourselves better. I had hoped we could use the cloud SIG mailing list for this but, in practice, I think folks are reluctant to spam everyone on the list with the nitty gritty details of what they're working on. I'm always reluctant to start another mailing list, but I think it might be warranted here. What say you to openstack(a)lists.fp.org or even openstack-maint(a)lists.fp.org? Maybe #fedora-openstack on Freenode too? On a related note, I've been quick to approve requests for commit permissions on these packages in order to encourage folks to get involved. However, quite a few folks have ever used these permissions so I'm starting to think we should get require folks to have an actual contribution ready to commit before approving these requests. Thoughts on either of those? Thanks, Mark.
