TheJuliaSince it seems like we have quorum, I guess we'll dive into the meeting then!15:03
TheJulia#topic Announcements / Reminders15:03
clifo/15:03
TheJuliaOur first reminder is to review ironic-week-prio hashtag items.15:03
TheJulia#link https://tinyurl.com/ironic-weekly-prio-dash15:04
TheJuliaOur second reminder is that this week is week R-6, final non-client library release. Next week is final release for client libraries.15:05
TheJulia#link https://releases.openstack.org/hibiscus/schedule.html15:05
TheJuliaDoes anyone have anything to announce or remind us of this week?15:05
TheJuliaOnward!15:07
TheJulia#topic Working Group Updates15:07
TheJuliaFirst up, the Async IO group!15:07
TheJuliaAny updates?15:07
* TheJulia guesses no since I think Iury is out this week15:07
dtantsurHe is, yes15:08
TheJuliaOkay, Onward then15:08
TheJuliaAnything for the Core Security team?15:09
TheJuliaJayF: ?15:09
JayFTwo OSSNs filed last week:15:09
JayFOSSN-0106 explicitly documenting network security requirements for IPA ramdisk endpoints15:09
JayFOSSN-0107 around issues with the Container HardwareManager security implementation15:10
JayFif you aren't aware of this; find your local neighborhood openstack-discuss, openstack-announce, or oss-security mailing list and read up.15:10
TheJulia++15:10
JayFWe also have an OSSA errata pending for a bugfix in the IPMI console interface; I expect that to be announced today15:10
TheJuliacool, thanks!15:11
JayFs/today/this week/15:11
TheJulia:)15:11
TheJuliaAnything else?15:11
JayFI think you have security-related fixes under review15:11
JayFaround basic auth15:11
JayFthat might be worth a #link in this section for reviews15:11
TheJuliaI'm not consciously aware of that, if you have a link or if its hast-tagged, that would be ideal.15:12
TheJuliaSince we have no discussion topics, we can proceed to Bug Deputy updates15:12
TheJuliaAre we good to proceed?15:12
JayFdid it merge?15:13
JayFI guess so; I am confused right now15:13
TheJuliaI have no idea what your referring to at the moment15:13
* TheJulia gives JayF more coffee :)15:13
cidThe weekly priority queue does not seem to have security patches15:14
TheJuliaOkay, JayF has refreshed my memory15:14
cidApart from the errata from me last week15:14
cidUnless this is considered a security fix15:14
cid#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/100099615:14
JayFThat's a feature for sure15:15
TheJuliaJayF is referring to https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/99974415:15
JayFI'll review tat post-meeting15:15
TheJuliak, thanks!15:15
TheJulia#topic Bug Deputy Updates15:15
TheJuliacid: the floor is yours!15:15
cidIt was a quiet week until few hours ago :)15:16
cidA new bug was filled against Sushy a couple of hours ago (just saw it). Not triaged yet!15:16
cidReset AllowableValues behind seperate ResetActionInfo endpoint15:16
cid#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/sushy/+bug/216365315:16
cidSo that makes it a total of 1 new bug filled this week.15:16
JayFooh that sounds like hardware fun15:16
cid0 RFEs.15:16
TheJuliaJoy, I guess we need to be mindful to try and get sushy released this week as well15:16
cid++15:17
TheJuliaUmm, we likely need to check the standard since it sounds like the reporter's harware is doing very unexpected15:18
TheJuliaAnyhow, who shall be our next bug deputy?15:18
clifI guess I'll volunteer since I haven't done it in a while15:19
cid\o, tks clif.15:19
TheJuliaclif: Much appreciated!15:19
TheJuliasince we have no RFEs to review today, we'll go directly to Open Discussion15:19
TheJulia#topic Open Discussion15:19
TheJuliaDoes anyone have anything to discuss? Plottings to take over the world? Wild and crazy features?15:19
dtantsurIt was too hot to take over the world, planning this in the autumn15:20
cardoeWe should likely look at what's in the sushy queue before cutting the release.15:21
TheJuliaI thought we were planning for every night15:21
dtantsurOut of curiousity, has anyone seen or heard of https://github.com/NVIDIA/infra-controller?15:21
TheJuliacardoe: gree15:21
JayFdtantsur: yes15:21
JayFdtantsur: no specifics that are interesting to talk about 15:21
dtantsurJust another vendor thing?15:22
JayFcardoe: I think with sushy it's tricky. We have a smaller reviewer base there.15:22
TheJuliadtantsur: I believe I have stumbled upon it as well15:22
TheJuliadtantsur: basically yes15:22
JayFcardoe: I've stopped reviewing sushy changes that impact hardware due to my lack of direct experience with redfish15:22
JayFdtantsur: yeah, with a focus on DPUs as the enforcer aiui15:23
TheJuliahttps://review.opendev.org/q/project:openstack/sushy+status:open is not that bad actually, at least in terms of up to date ready to review items15:23
JayFI would suggest perhaps that giant model update is a bad choice for merge before release15:24
rpittauI agree15:24
rpittauI was going to ask about the sushy changes we have left15:24
TheJuliahttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/sushy/+/999743 might make sense15:25
rpittauI think it does, yeah15:25
cardoeI'm actually partial to that bug redfish change. Cause that's another 6 months we'll be unsupporting hardware.15:25
TheJuliacardoe: which one are you referring to?15:26
cardoeBut alas I understand the hesitation. I've needed to take some time to audit it.15:26
cardoehttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/sushy/+/98998815:26
TheJuliaYeah, I think it is fairly straight forward and it *IS* outside of our hot path of interaction15:27
TheJuliaBut it is a bit of a brutal review that just requires sitting down15:27
JayFmy thoughts on that were 100% knee jerk, well thought out opinions can defeat mine and please should :D 15:27
TheJuliaFWIW, I did my review with the standard on an adjacent monitor and my notes reflect some of that15:27
TheJulia(Some of my comments are "here is where you find this"15:28
TheJuliaAnyhow, I would encourage folks to take the time to review outstanding sushy items ready for review15:29
TheJuliaAny additional open discussion?15:29
TheJuliaOne final callout: An initial PTG etherpad has been created: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ironic-ptg-2027.115:30
TheJulia#topic Who shall chair our meeting next week?15:30
TheJuliaWho would like to volunteer to chair our meeting next week?15:31
* TheJulia hears crickets saying "Julia"15:32
JayFI'll do it15:32
TheJuliaYou sure? I can do it next week15:32
JayFyou gotta let the silence hang for longer if you want other volunteers 15:32
JayFI don't care other than getting new folks in lol15:32
TheJulialol15:32
JayFchairing the meeting can be done with half my brain turned off15:32
TheJuliaJayF to disengage half his brain, and to chair next week's meeting ;)15:32
JayFor get at least 25% more of it online for this time next week /s15:33
TheJulialol15:33
TheJuliaOkay, anything else before we wrap this week's meeting?15:33
TheJuliaThanks everyone!15:34

opendevreviewEsther Domfeh proposed openstack/ironic master: Expose new node history fields in API v1.115  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/100118215:39
opendevreviewJulia Kreger proposed openstack/networking-generic-switch master: Add Cisco NDFC REST API driver for VXLAN L2VNI  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/networking-generic-switch/+/96848417:11
opendevreviewJulia Kreger proposed openstack/networking-generic-switch master: Add global fallback device for controller-style drivers  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/networking-generic-switch/+/100120017:11
winiciusallan[m]hello ironic o/17:41
winiciusallan[m]is the image tinyipa-stable-2026.1.vmlinuz supposed to exist in https://tarballs.openstack.org/ironic-python-agent/tinyipa/files/?17:41
winiciusallan[m]i've seen a devstack job failing because it can't download this file =/17:42
JayFtinyipa has been retired entirely from the project17:44
JayFhttps://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/contributor/devstack-guide.html should have updated instructions/configs17:44
winiciusallan[m]JayF: ok, this makes sense. we're defining the RAM disk type to tinyipa. so as of now, is dib the only supported type?17:50
JayFyes, generally speaking17:53
JayFIronic won't care how your ramdisk gets built, to be clear. If you want prebuilts, gotta go DIB.17:53
winiciusallan[m]JayF: gotcha. thanks! do you have handy any reference for tinyipa deprecation? i haven't found nothing on gerrit18:11
JayFwiniciusallan[m]: https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/ironic-python-agent-builder/2025.2.html#other-notes18:13
JayFtinyipa was NEVER supported outside of CI so it was not loudly deprecated18:13
cardoedtantsur: so the nvidia controller is probably closer to what my open source project deployment of ironic is than metal318:16
cardoeUsers don't interact with it using k8s objects but instead via API services that sit on top of a k8s cluster18:17
winiciusallan[m]JayF: yeah, I see. that helped a lot. thanks!18:17
cardoeit relies heavily on DPUs18:19
TheJuliaWRT https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/999744, if folks think we should be matching port and or protocol, please say so soon19:00
cardoeehhhh either way?19:46
TheJuliawell, we have to lock into a way I guess, otherwise we're going to have to work every possibility19:54
TheJuliahostname being simplest19:54
JayFall arguments for adding port are overridden with "if you don't control the hostname, don't put it into the config"19:57
TheJuliaI bet the thought is if you have an infrastruture in which it is being shared, but even then, your the admin of the deployment :\20:53
TheJuliathat is an explicit choice20:53
JayFI mean really, I was thinking20:54
JayFtrusting hostname (no port) vs hostname:80 specifically20:54
JayFis just a question of root vs user on `hostname`'s backing machine20:54
JayFso it's kinda valid to want to limit it to  root-limited ports, but that's such an edge case that it puts a decoder ring on the common (https-using, no port specified) case, so I'd leave it portless20:54
opendevreviewJulia Kreger proposed openstack/ironic master: Add image_server_auth_hosts to restrict credential scope  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/99974422:08
opendevreviewMerged openstack/ironic master: Pass explicit virtual media protocol to Sushy  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/99746423:07
