Agenda

OpenStack Release Selection

• Current RA1 OpenStack release Baseline

• OpenStack releases available for selection

• RM evolution requiring new OpenStack features

• Which OpenStack release baseline for Lakelse?

Minutes

Current OpenStack baseline is Train (since Baraque)

The aim is to move to a newer release - Wallaby

• New features and functionality

• Important new requirements to deliver on

  • HW acceleration

    • Cyborg added a lot of new functionality since Train including a new v2 API that's not complete in Train

  • Edge requirements

  • Security

  • LCM

• Extended maintenance phase for Train

• Functest is ready to support the latest releases which can help cover testing in Anuket

• OS support

  • Red Hat OSP 19 LTS will be on Wallaby

  • Canonical - Ubuntu 22.04 will be Xena

• Airship

  • installer with manifest files that can be recreated based on the docs in Airship to cover newer OpenStack releases than Train

    • needs to be done by Anuket contributors

    • alignment with Airship team in Anuket is needed

• Concerns

  • Jumping multiple releases? Migration?

    • OpenStack has a support for fast-forward upgrades to move ahead with multiple releases

    • A lot of effort going into backward compatibility

  • Need to define an MVP?

    • For OpenStack, RA1 only specifies a minimal set of services – a subset of OpenStack services

  • Is it doable for RI for the Lakelse release?

    • RA1 is developed as a spec that RI will follow in the a release after Lakelse

• No objections from the people on the call!

Outcome - Suggestion is to move to OpenStack Wallaby
