schrdI am new to openstack. At the openstack summit I talked to some people who said that openstack-chef seems to be dead and I should think of using a different deployment tool for openstack.20:27
schrdHowever I triied the cookbooks, and got working multinode setup20:27
scasopenstack-chef is not dead, contrary to popular belief. it's been called that once or twice over the years20:28
schrdTO me the recipes look fine, I undestand what they are doing.20:28
schrdthat sounds good20:28
scasit just doesn't have the mindshare, or the contributors that it used to20:28
scasthings move at a slower pace as a result, but they do continue moving20:28
schrdcool20:28
schrdI deployed on centos, and had to work around the pip 18.1 issue. I saw that this is fixed in git but not yet released in the supermarket20:29
scasthere hasn't been a whole lot of effort put into active marketing, so it can look like it's dead at the pace it moves20:30
scaspip 18.1 and poise-python is another ball of interesting 'fun'20:30
schrdwhat I currently do not understand is how upgrade of openstack releases is handled20:30
scasthe ci system needs to be reworked entirely, but it's in a place where it either needs money or active contributors to make it possible to release safely20:30
scasupgrades still happen largely outside of chef20:31
schrdis it just changing the release attribute per node?20:31
schrdok20:31
scasone example of how that's been handled is published by osuosl https://github.com/osuosl-cookbooks/osl-openstack20:32
schrdso what could I do to help?20:33

scasanything that you think could use improvement is welcome. more specifically, if you wanted to take a specific thing and drive that, like upgrades or something else you have in mind, i'd be happy to help if you get stuck somewhere. our other cores, i think, are offline for the evening, but i'm around during PST daylight hours20:36
scasi've been rummaging around upstream in sous-chefs to help out with some of the library cookbooks. updating the cookbooks for rocky and newer is dependent on some of that work happening20:38
scaspoise-python's future is the big question mark at present, but i know some folks in the community have expressed interest in continuity20:38
schrdhow do you do setup of openstack resources such as flavors or external networks (the neutron resources, not the interface setup of the openstack nodes)?21:13
schrdI did not find any chef resources handling that. If they are missing and welcome I think I would be able to create such resources21:15
scasflavors and external networks are provided at implementation, so openstack-chef defaults are what tempest needs so that testing can happen in zuul21:33
scasif that's somewhere you'd like to improve the experience, that's a fine place to start21:34
