gibigate is in a shape as expected around FF16:05
dansmithpretty decent, considering actually16:05

*** openstack changes topic to "Feature status (Meeting topic: nova)"16:06
gibilet meg copy a list from the agenda16:06
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-support-webvnc-with-password-anthentication : in merge conflict with negative review so I assume it is deferred from Wallaby16:07
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/compact-db-migrations-wallaby : patches has been approved, implementation going through the gate16:07
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/modernize-os-hypervisors-api : merged, the policy part is deferred out from Wallaby16:07
* bauzas is around16:07
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-default-machine-type : merged, except the integration testing. That can still land after FF.16:07
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/pci-socket-affinity : expected to be approved today16:07
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/port-scoped-sriov-numa-affinity : expected to be approved today16:07
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-vdpa-support : still open16:07
gibi#link https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/allow-secure-boot-for-qemu-kvm-guests : still open16:07
stephenfinfor nova-support-webvnc-with-password-anthentication, we're deferring16:08
bauzasthe secure boot series got +Wd16:08
gibithe rest is either merged or in a shape that means it is deferred16:08
gibibauzas: thanks that is good news16:08
gibistephenfin: ack16:08
stephenfinMelwitt and I took a close look at it and there were some serious issues with usability that meant we weren't happy merging it16:08
bauzaswe still have a few patches up, but those are FUPs that can merge after FF16:08
gibibauzas: sure16:08
gibiis there any other bp that I'm not listed up there but the author still thinks it has a chance to land?16:09
stephenfinregarding https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-vdpa-support I've been going through that with Sean and helping them reorder things so they're fit to merge. I've gone through it with a fine comb now and am happy with all but a few things16:09
stephenfinproblem is you need some PCI knowhow to really review, hence why it's got so few eyes I suspect16:09
gibiI can take  a look at one series before I time out for today16:10
gibiso if nothing else pops up then I will look at the vdpa16:10
stephenfinthat would be great16:11
gibione more thing I not listed above is the smartnic support. I finished with the review today but I had a lot of findings so I assume that is also deferred16:11
gibianything else about features?16:12
stephenfinthe other thing I had on my list was the change to enable 'openstack server --hostname'16:12
stephenfinit's small, but it's had no attention so I think we should defer16:12
stephenfinand merge early in Xena16:13
gibiyeah, I had no time to dig into that16:13
gibisorry16:13
dansmithis that just an osc thing,16:13
stephenfinAll good. I left it late16:13
dansmithor requires an api?16:13
stephenfinNah, microversion change16:13
dansmithokay16:13
stephenfinjust a new field in the request, but any microversion change brings a lot of boilerplate changes with it16:13
stephenfin*server create request16:13
dansmithsure sure,16:13
dansmithjust wasn't sure if we had it already and just needed to pass it or not16:14
stephenfinnot yet, no16:14
stephenfinchange is here for context https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/77855016:14
stephenfin(ignore the fail - it's irrelevant)16:14
stephenfinbut like I said, I'm happy to defer. This was really a nice-to-have16:15
dansmithyup. I was just curious16:15

gibiany questions about the PTG?16:23
lyarwoodgibi: did you have a deadline in mind for topics?16:24
gibiI will do etherpad reorg before the PTG week16:24
gibiso that is sort-of deadline. anything comes after might end up at the end of the pad16:25
lyarwoodyeah ack that's fine, just something to keep in mind as stuff comes in from downstream ;)16:25
gibibut if you have topics that needs more than the nova team (e.g. cinder, neutron, cyborg) then please prioritize those as we need to find a common time with the other teams then16:25
lyarwoodyup understood16:26
gibianything else about the PTG?16:26

*** jamesmcarthur has quit IRC16:28
gibi#topic Open discussion16:29
*** openstack changes topic to "Open discussion (Meeting topic: nova)"16:29
gibinothing on the agenda16:29
gibiis there anything we need to discuss?16:29
dansmithI have a thing16:29
gibigo16:29
dansmithso, I want to do that funny thing and ask a glance question in the nova meeting.. BUT I have a good reason :)16:30
dansmithis anyone here familiar with the glance metadef api, how it may be used, and by who?16:30
*** jamesmcarthur has joined #openstack-meeting-316:30
dansmiththe reason I ask is that it seems mostly there to collect nova-related metadata16:30
dansmithas was noted earlier on the list, there are multiple low-grade security problems with the API, and the glance team needs some info from people that actually use it in order to know how and when to fix it16:31
dansmithsince it's nova metadata (i.e. image metadata that affects instances) related, I thought maybe someone here might know16:31
stephenfindansmith: sean isn't here, weirdly, but they talk about it a lot16:32
gibibesides some common image metadata usage I did not see metadef usage in our downstream bug tracker16:32
dansmithgibi: ack, that's good to know, not in ours either :)16:32
dansmithstephenfin: ah yeah I thought sean might be a candidate, but didn't notice he wasn't in here16:32
stephenfinthey wanted to use it for the extra spec validation stuff we did in microversion 2.87 but we found it was mega out-of-date and the definitions were really hard to define/extend16:32
stephenfinxml-- iitv16:33
stephenfin*iirc16:33
dansmithso they thought maybe it would be useful, but decided not to try, is that right?16:33
dansmithnot.. are using it, or were using it, or..16:33
stephenfinyeah, correct. I added that microversion and just went with our own schema format16:34
dansmithit seems to be a "feature" that was "designed" and dropped on the community all in a short period, and then the originators are all long gone,16:34
stephenfinyeah, that's my impression too16:34
dansmithso it's hard to know if anyone actually uses it, whether it serves any purpose anymore, etc16:34
stephenfinI think Horizon might use it too16:34
dansmithyeah, horizon and heat are the two things we're wondering about16:34
stephenfinwhen you're creating the guest I see some "CIM" metadata and I think that's coming from the Glance API16:34
dansmithhorizon was one of the original goals, I think, but..16:34
dansmithokay there are some CIM things in there by default, so maybe that's right16:35
stephenfinif it were an option, deprecating it in Glance might make more sense. nova already validates image metadata and flavor extra specs for you16:35
dansmithby default, it's completely wide open, any user can create anything they want, and as much as they want (until the DB is full), and there isn't proper tenancy protection16:35
dansmithdeprecating is an option,16:36
dansmithwe're recommending disabling it in policy by default and unless you want or need it for something16:36
dansmithbut we want to know if we should fix or deprecate16:36
stephenfinand we (nova) could add an API if people wanted a way to retrieve information about the metadata we support (extra specs and image meta props) ahead of time, though I suspect that's a very small use case16:36
dansmithI think the goal is to make things like horizon able to offer up common metadata, not so much for the validation part16:36
dansmithyeah, basically a serialized ImageMetadataProperties representation I guess16:37
stephenfinyeah16:37
stephenfinnova at least will ignore everything else16:37
stephenfinthough nova isn't the only thing talking to glance of course16:37
dansmithaight, so gibi you just checked your downstream bug tracker in response to the OSSN I guess to see if your customers were using it?16:38
dansmithor at least, reporting issues with it I guess16:38
gibiyes16:38
stephenfin(I say of course but I'm not actually sure if anyone else talks to Glance)16:38
gibinothing really popped up16:38
dansmithand are you planning to just push out policy to disable?16:38
gibiI don't have the infor about that yet16:38
gibibut I can ask around16:38
dansmithokay16:39
gibiI would disable with policy yes16:39
dansmithokay, well, we're asking ops to come to ptg with use cases or data about it,16:39
dansmithnot sure if we'll get any, but if you have anything that comes from asking that you want me to point out there, let me know16:40
dansmithand I'll poke sean after this16:40
dansmiththat's all, thanks for the discussion16:40
gibisounds good16:40
