Hey Tom,

I can moderate the Mitaka: Beyond the Release Notes session if it is really
needed and no one else has signed up to moderate.

Please take a moment to reach out to the Neutron team and visit the following. 
Could this resource be of use to address their concern?

Re: [Openstack-operators] VPNaaS and FWaaS

2016-04-29 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Thanks for the feedback Lubosz. Is OSIC as well to be a resource for in demand 
(enterprise) features that the community does not have available resources 
(developers) to work on? Are there existing alternatives to these two (Octavia) 
which will pick up where these are being left and therefore there is not a high 
demand?

Re: [Openstack-operators] Ops Meetups Team - Next Meeting Coordinates and News

2016-06-02 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Apologies,

* On a side note, can we decide on a [email-subject-tag] to help filter these 
in [Openstack-operators]
* Suggestion: [ops-meetups-team]

For the delay that is since rain and Houston, TX fight a lot and rain is 
winning these days unfortunately. I was tasked with submitting to the ML a 
request to discuss how do we handle the waiting list for those who are not able 
to attend the Ops Midcycle due to the cap. Looking at EventBrite [ 
https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/How_To/how-to-set-up-an-event-waitlist?lg=en_US
 ] if we are going to do a waitlist, this looks like a great option where 
basically we get details about the attendees we need and the waitlist is 
automatically created once the cap is hit.

Playing devil’s advocate, my only apprehension to this process is should the 
waitlist be large, and there is a significant reason for someone who attended a 
previous Ops Midcycle to need to attend the next, how would that be handled? I 
am sure there are other potential issues that can be identified.

Kind regards,

Re: [Openstack-operators] Uptime and SLA's

2016-06-02 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey Matt,

I am looking into Monasca and would like to know your recommendation for 
resources regarding a) understanding and b) installing the project; especially 
since there is no install guide on the project wiki. Additionally, can you shed 
some light on whether this setup would run behind a loadbalancer in an HA 
configuration; I am looking at using three servers which will house a 
“stack”/“toolchain” for such activities.

Kind regards,

Subject:  Re: [Openstack-operators] Uptime and SLA's

We do this a few different ways, some of which may meet your needs.

For API calls we measure a simple, quick, and impactless call for each service 
(like heat stack-list) and we monitor East from West and vice versa. The goal 
here is nothing added to the DBs, so nothing like neutron net-create. The 
downside here is that some of these calls work even when the service isn't 100% 
healthy so keep that in mind.

Then we also have a set of "what would a user do" calls like "spin up a VM and 
attach a FIP and ssh in" or "create and delete a volume". These run less often. 

Finally we have a reference cloud application that uses our LBaaS, GSLB, HA 
routers, and multiple front-end/back-end nodes. This has the highest 
expectation of uptime and is used as an example for our customers of how you 
can run an app with "more nines" than the underlying infra.

On any of these, especially the first two I mentioned, time series data is 
super useful. It's good to know that your create volume times (for example) are 
40% slower after your deploy. We use Monasca and Grafana for that.

We¹re currently in the process of writing up an internal SLA for our

My initial thoughts are success / fail spawning instances, creating and
attaching volumes, API availability and so on.

Can anyone on the list share their insights?

Re: [Openstack-operators] [kolla] question of default users for operators

2016-07-29 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Personally, if OpenStack default is to have a member or _member_ as an operator 
I would prefer there be a user according to the default.

Subject:  [Openstack-operators] [kolla] question of default users for operators

Hey folks,

In Kolla we have a significant bug in that Horizon can't be used because it 
requires a member user.  We have a few approaches to fixing this problem in 
mind, but want to understand what Operators want.  Devstack itself has switched 
between member and _member_ although Devstack isn't our reference: Operators 
are.

Which of those do operators prefer (if either).

Another question was whether we should create a default user named "user" and 
use this in place of member.

Thoughts welcome.

Regards

Re: [Openstack-operators] Installing mitaka's image service error

2016-07-31 Thread Melvin Hillsman
As suggested in the referenced email, have you checked your logs?
Additionally check to be sure that your MySQL connection information is
correct and that MySQL is bound to the IP address that resolves to
"controller" as you have in your connection string. Hopefully some of this
helps you get to a resolution.

Kind regards,

Melvin Hillsman

Re: [Openstack-operators] [kolla] question of default users for operators

2016-07-31 Thread Melvin Hillsman
I think even more so would be what is the purpose/benefit to an operator? 
99.99% of the time an operator will have an idea of resources they want to 
create already or plans to do so. Personally, unless pushing to demo OpenStack, 
I would prefer totally untouched install.

Re: [Openstack-operators] thanks for the great time in NYC ! great Ops Meetup !

2016-08-29 Thread Melvin Hillsman
It was a pleasure to meet everyone and I hope I can continue to be a resource 
to the community. I have spoken to individuals I work with and they are just as 
excited as I am to assist with helping OpenStack operations community. I would 
like to also thank Chris and Bloomberg for hosting a great even and Tom Fifield 
for entrusting the community with the task of organizing the mid-cycle. I hope 
to continue to build great and lasting relationships with many of you in the 
near future. See you in Barcelona!

Kind regards,

Thanks for the kind words. I am so glad it worked out. I want to repeat that 
Tom still did a lot of the work despite us attempting to pull the organizing of 
these events more into the general community. 

 

I hope to make it to Barcelona and see you there!

Hello !

I would like to thank Chris for all the work done to host our Ops
Meetup. I had a great time in NYC, and I came back to Switzerland with
a lot of input for work to do.

Also thanks to all of you that participated. It was great to share
experiences on Openstack operations with so many people.

I really encourage anyone on this list to participate to these
Openstack events, because the value is really extraordinary.

I hope to see most of you guys in Barcelona for the summit.

Cheers,

Re: [Openstack-operators] openstack-ansible - recovery of failed infrastructure host

2016-10-24 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey Ben,

Unfortunately I do not have way to confirm with you right now but also suggest 
you create a backup of your database as a matter of caution and general best 
practice. If you can backup anything else that would be a good thing to 
consider as well.

Re: [Openstack-operators] Updating oschecks

2016-11-03 Thread Melvin Hillsman

Hey Lars,

I think the needs you have are relevant to anyone who would use this 
tooling and think you should definitely move forward with implementing 
what you have prototyped. I personally believe any improvements to the 
tools in osops repos are welcome. Bringing modularity to this as well is 
great from my perspective.



On 11/03/2016 01:03 PM, Lars Kellogg-Stedman wrote:

I've recently started working with the oscheck scripts in the
osops-tools-monitoring project [1], and I found that in their current
form they didn't quite meet my needs.  In particular:

- They don't share a common set of authentication options
- They can't read credentials from files
- Many of them require a priori configuration of the openstack
   environment, which means they can't be used to health check a new
   deployment

I've spent a little time recently prototyping a new set of health
check scripts, available here:

   https://github.com/larsks/oschecks

I'd like to emphasize that these *are not* currently meant as a usable
replacement for the existing checks; they were to prototype (a) the
way I'd like the user interface to work and (b) the way I'd like
things like credentials to work.

This project offers the following features:

- They use os_client_config for managing credentials, so they can be
   configured from a clouds.yaml file, or the environment, or the
   command line, and it all Just Works.

- Authentication is handled in just one place in the code for all the
   checks.

- The checks are extensible (using the cliff framework), which means
   that checks with different sets of requirements can be
   packaged/installed separately.  See, for example:

 https://github.com/larsks/oschecks_systemd

- For every supported service there is a simple "can I make an
   authenticated request to the API successfully" check that does not
   require any pre-existing resources to be created.

- They are (hopefully) structured such that it is relatively easy to
   write new checks the follow the same syntax and behavior of the
   other checks.

If people think this is a useful way of implementing these health
checks, I would be happy to do the work necessary to make them a mostly
drop-in replacement for the existing checks (adding checks that are
currently missing, and adding appropriate console-script entrypoints to
match the existing names, etc).

I would appreciate any feedback.  Sorry for the long message, and thanks
for taking the time to read this far!

Re: [Openstack-operators] VM monitoring suggestions

2016-12-11 Thread Melvin Hillsman
We have been using influxdata's influxdb, telegraf, and kapacitor with
grafana for visualization [1]. You do not have to install telegraf in the
VM to gather data on them however will need telegraf on the compute node
and more than likely have to use some coding of telegraf to get what you
want out.

There is also a tool called netdata [2] which may suffice for what you are
wanting to collect. Robert and Joe seem to have a sense of what you want
and may offer the best option.

Great idea. Here is my 0.02

Ops Meetups Team came together early in the year with the hope of the Operator 
community driving mid-cycles and summit planning. In just over six months the 
Ops Meetups Team has successfully planned, organized, and executed a mid-cycle 
and the Barcelona Ops Summit. The Ops Meetups Team operates openly having IRC 
meetings Tuesdays at 15:00 UTC in #openstack-operators. Currently in the 
organization and execution phase of the Ops Spring Mid-cycle the team looks 
forward to growing and working together in 2017.

Re: [Openstack-operators] Ops Meetups - paragraphs for the annual report

2017-01-02 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Sorry for the delay. Here are more words :) with need for revision/changes
and plugging in the number of attendees and companies representing during
this past Fall mid-cycle in NYC; unfortunately I do not have but believe
Foundation may.

I am no scholar but hope this is a good starting point.



One signficant accomplishment in 2016 was the creation of the Ops Meetups
Team. The Ops Meetups Team came together early in the year with the hope of
the operator community driving mid-cycle and Ops Summit planning. In just
over six months the Ops Meetups Team has successfully planned, organized,
and executed a mid-cycle and the Barcelona Ops Summit.

During the Fall 2016 Ops Mid-cycle held in New York City and hosted by
Bloomberg, we had approximately [# of attendees] attendees representing at
least [# of companies] companies. Sessions ignited discussions ranging from
the physical hardware layer to NFV and containerizing the OpenStack control
plane to orchestrating with Kubernetes. While not only focusing on the
underlying technology driving all the *aaS, folks talked about the
supporting cast of logging, monitoring, and alerting tools, and much more.

Attending these events afford Operators the opportunity to come away being
energized with new creative ways to address their day-to-day requirements
and exciting ideas about how they can offer more to themselves and their
stakeholders using the robust OpenStack platform. OpenStack at large
benefits as the community of operators, engineers, application developers,
and end users spend quality time with each other sustaining the wave of
momentum for OpenStack's future.

The Ops Meetups Team operates openly having IRC meetings Tuesdays at 15:00
UTC in #openstack-operators. Currently in the organization and execution
phase of the Ops Spring Mid-cycle, March 15-16 2017 in Milan, Italy, the
team looks forward to growing and working together.

[Openstack-operators] What would you like in Pike?

2017-01-12 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

 

I am hoping to get a dialogue started to gain some insight around things 
Operators, Application Developers, and End Users would like to see happen in 
Pike. If you had a dedicated environment, dedicated team, and freedom to choose 
how you deployed, new features, older features, enhancements, etc, and were not 
required to deal with customer/client tickets, calls, and maintenances, could 
keep a good feedback loop between your team and the upstream community of any 
project, what would like to make happen or work on hoping the next release of 
OpenStack had/included/changed/enhanced/removed…?

 

Kind regards,

I just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread. I often wonder 
what people would like to see the Nova team prioritize because we don't 
get input from the product work group or Foundation really on big ticket 
items so we're generally left to prioritizing work on our own each release.

[Openstack-operators] OsOps Reboot

2017-01-19 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Good day everyone,

As operators we would like to reboot the efforts started around OsOps.
Initial things that may make sense to work towards are starting back
meetings, standardizing the repos (like having a lib or common folder,
READMEs include release(s) tool works with, etc), increasing feedback loop
from operators in general, actionable work items, identifying teams/people
with resources for continuous testing/feedback, etc.

We have got to a great place so let's increase the momentum and maximize
all the work that has been done for OsOps so far. Please visit the
following link [ https://goo.gl/forms/eSvmMYGUgRK901533 ] to vote on day of
the week and time (UTC) you would like to have OsOps meeting. And also
visit this etherpad [ https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osops-meeting ] to
help shape the initial and ongoing agenda items.

Really appreciate you taking time to read through this email and looking
forward to all the great things to come.

Also we started an etherpad for brainstorming around how OsOps could/would
function; very rough draft/outline/ideas right now again please provide
feedback: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osops-project-future

[Openstack-operators] Ops Midcycle - Seating Limited Reserve Your Spot!

2017-01-26 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Good day everyone,

 

We have been hard at work planning another great Ops Mid-cycle! Seating is 
limited so you will want to rush over to - 
https://opsmidcycle_march2017.eventbrite.com - to reserve your spot.

 

Also, we still want your feedback on the sessions and we need your +1s. We are 
in the process of writing the agenda and therefore it is very important you get 
your vote in now on a session or two or all. You can find the planning etherpad 
here - https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MIL-ops-meetup

 

REMEMBER! Even if you are not attending in person, you can still vote! We want 
to hear from you.

 

***Note***: This event assumes OpenStack ops knowledge and is _not_ appropriate 
for beginners, or a place to learn about OpenStack. The event contains 
relatively few 'presentations' and is mostly a discussion-style event. To find 
other OpenStack events in your area, please visit www.openstack.org/events.

 

Kind regards,

[Openstack-operators] Fwd: [openstack-dev] Supporting our global community

2017-01-29 Thread Melvin Hillsman
In case you missed it.

-- Forwarded message --
From: Jonathan Bryce 
Date: Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 12:34 PM
Subject: [openstack-dev] Supporting our global community
To: foundat...@lists.openstack.org, "OpenStack Development Mailing List
(not for usage questions)" ,
commun...@openstack.org


OpenStack is a global open source community. The OpenStack Foundation
serves members in 180 countries focused on advancing the capabilities and
accessibility of open infrastructure everywhere. We fundamentally believe
diversity and collaboration are a powerful force for innovation, and it has
been amazing to see the product of tens of thousands of people around the
world over the last 6+ years.

Lauren, Mark and I disagree with the executive order issued by President
Trump that targets individuals from 7 countries. The order restricts the
travel and movement of people in a discriminatory way that  results in a
restriction on access to talent and ideas. It is still unclear how the
policies will play out and be enforced, but we will be watching, advocating
for and supporting our community members to the best of our ability.

This executive order will not impact the governance of the Foundation or
the way the community operates globally. We will continue to support user
groups and community members that are active in the seven countries named
by the executive order, alongside our 120+ user groups around the world.
However, we have two scheduled events in the United States within the next
six months that will attract a global audience: the PTG (Project Teams
Gathering) in Atlanta, Feb 20-24, a smaller event that will bring together
hundreds of upstream contributors, and the OpenStack Summit in Boston, May
8-11, our larger event that happens every six months.

This executive order could impact some community members' ability to travel
to Atlanta and Boston, but unfortunately it is too late at this point to
change the location of these events. The following three OpenStack Summits,
however, are now scheduled to occur outside of the United States. The next
Summit will be in November 2017 in Sydney, Australia and we are working to
finalize the details so we can announce the following two Summit locations
soon.

We’ve already heard from one community member, Mohammed Naser, who is
concerned that his plans to travel from Canada to Atlanta to attend the PTG
may be restricted, simply because he a dual citizen of Canada and Iraq.
Mohammed has been contributing code to OpenStack since 2011 and is the CEO
and Founder of Vexxhost. Blocking his travel would serve no purpose and rob
the community of a valuable contributor during an important event. If you
are concerned about the impact or have any questions, please don't hesitate
to reach out to me at jonat...@openstack.org.

Political actions like this highlight the importance of our collective
values. The Four Opens, the founding principles of our community, exist to
ensure the free flow of talent and ideas, across geographic, national,
organizational or other lines that might divide us. We believe in humanity.
We believe in opportunity. We believe in the power of collaboration across
borders, and we will continue to carry forward our mission.

[Openstack-operators] Operator Mid-cycle Moderator

2017-01-30 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

Thank you all for signing up to be moderators at the upcoming Operator
Mid-cycle. I am sending this not only to you but to the ML at large in
hopes that we get additional volunteers.

Community:

Please sign up if you are interested using the following etherpad -
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MIL-ops-meetup

And there is still time to suggest additional sessions and +1 or -1
existing sessions. Also remember that you do not have to be in attendance
to have a voice here. We welcome you to participate in shaping the agenda
even though you may not physically attend.

Current Volunteer Moderators:

What I learned after moderating my first session is that you have to
continuously prod folks to discuss the current topic and after a moment or
two the conversation will take on a life of its own; so should be pretty
easy, especially if you just hand folks the mic (emagana). We have a
moderation guide as well to assist you - https://wiki.openstack.org/wik
i/Operations/Meetups#Moderators_Guide

What I hope to accomplish with this email is that you 1) respond back
confirming that you will or will not attend the mid-cycle, and 2) begin
looking at the sessions <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MIL-ops-meetup>
and brainstorm what the summaries for the sessions you are thinking about
moderating should look like.

You will want to think about primarily what the session will cover and the
expected outcomes or success criteria; which can be as simple as providing
at least 3 actionable items to those users/developers/projects/teams/groups/etc
impacted by the session.

Once we have a somewhat finalized agenda, I will send a follow up email so
we can work to round out the summaries and get them out to the community.

Thank you so much for your time.

[Openstack-operators] OpenStack User Survey!

2017-02-08 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

Re-sending this, hopefully we can get a lot more folks to fill out the
survey!

" If you run OpenStack, please take a few minutes to respond to the latest
User Survey or pass it along to your friends.

This is the ninth survey, but if you're new what you can expect are:
* a few basic questions—how and why do you work with OpenStack, what do you
like about it, and where can we improve? (5-10mins)
* a more detailed set of questions that helps us understand your cloud so
we can provide feedback to development teams (10mins)


The deadline to fill out the survey is February 20 at 23:59 UTC. Start the
survey now:

https://www.openstack.org/user-survey

If you answered the survey last time, you won't need to start from scratch.
Just log back in to update your deployment profile.


All of the information you provide is confidential to the Foundation and
User Committee and will be aggregated anonymously unless you specifically
allow us to make it public. We’ll share the survey findings first with
those who fill out the user survey, and with the community at next
OpenStack Summit, May 8-11 in Boston
https://www.openstack.org/summit/boston-2017/ "

Hey everyone!

I really appreciate the responses to the poll for the OsOps meeting and we
have consensus on the time being Monday 1400 UTC. The time is not set in
stone and as folks participate time will be adjusted to accommodate the
majority; the meeting will be on February 27th, 2017. You can find the time
within your local timezone using wordltimebuddy, for example
http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?pl=1&lid=100,1816670,5128581,2147714&h=100

We will be working from the following document -
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osops-meeting - for the agenda and welcome
everyone to add to/adjust/+1 it and invite a friend to the meeting; if you
do not think something should be on the agenda comment, -1, or
strikethrough.

Re: [Openstack-operators] Instances are not creating after adding 3 additional nova nodes

2017-02-19 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Since the error was with scheduling you will want to modify the config for
nova to show verbose output, try to create another instance, and check for
the uuid and/or requestid of the creation attempt in the log -
nova-scheduler.log

I would turn verbose logging off right after you get a failed attempt to
schedule as well since they logs can grow quickly.

[Openstack-operators] Fwd: Operators Mid-cycle Moderator

2017-02-25 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

Thank you all for signing up to be moderators at the upcoming Operator
Mid-cycle. I am sending this not only to you but to the ML at large in
hopes that we get additional volunteers.

*OpenStack Community:*

Please sign up if you are interested in moderating using the following
etherpad - https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MIL-ops-meetup

And * there is still time to suggest additional sessions and +1 or -1
existing sessions*. Also remember that *you do not have to be in attendance
to have a voice here*. We welcome you to participate in shaping the agenda
even though you may not physically attend.

*Current Volunteer Moderators:*

If you have not already, be sure to take a look at the moderator's guide -
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Operations/Meetups#Moderators_Guide

What I hope to accomplish with this email is that you 1) respond back
confirming that you will or will not attend the mid-cycle if you have not
already confirmed, and 2) the agenda is just about done and some names have
been added to sessions already. If you do not feel comfortable with a
session you have been assigned, go ahead and change. If you see an open
session and would like to moderate it, feel free to add your name.

I created an etherpad for each session on the agenda and dropped in a
template on each one - https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MIL-ops-moderator-
template - please be sure to start working out the details of the session.

*I encourage each moderator to use this thread to ask any questions and
reach out to the community at large and projects related to the session you
are moderating.*

I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the mid-cycle and thank you so
much for your time.

[Openstack-operators] [user-committee] [openstack-operators] [openstack-community] [osops] Team Bi-Weekly Meeting Summary

2017-03-04 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Apologies for the delay,

We had a great reboot meeting! The previous and upcoming agendas can be
found at the following:

http://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osops-meeting

*The next meeting is 3/13 1400UTC in #openstack-meeting-5*

We focused on quite a few things and are looking to start hashing out some
actionable work around the discussions in the coming days, below is just a
snapshot of some items:


   - Establish structure/pluggability around the "when approved" repo (tool
   creators should only have to worry about the logic of what the tool will do
   - common tasks imported via libs)
   - Work towards stable/release branches and tags approach (starting with
   stable/newton being ocata was just released not long ago)
   - Standardizing in general (an example is every tool requires a README
   so at a glance user is aware of pertinent information about the tool)
   - Documentation assistance (it is not about writing but reviewing what
   is currently in place and filing a bug at a minimum, creating a patch is
   always encouraged)
   - Reviewing and contributing user stories -
   https://github.com/openstack/openstack-user-stories (this is significant
   as users have to back the stories for work to be potentially allocated; the
   more +1s/reviews a story gets, more likely it is seen as valuable work)

*We hope to see you in the next meeting, invite a friend or two or 10 and
come with your opinions, grievances, ideas, and dreams!*

Here's the etherpad for the OSOps session at the Ops Midcycle:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MIL-ops-osops

I have added some points to consider during the session and would love for
you to add new topics and/or comments on the existing ones; even if you are
not attending.

Also a reminder to participate in the session brainstorming for the Forum!

2017-03-13 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Agree with you on this Edgar and it deserves further discussion. We discussed 
this a week ago or so now amongst Ops Meetup Team and again, I think we should 
discuss further; I am not saying what is right or wrong.

[Openstack-operators] Milan Ops Midcycle

2017-03-17 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

I want to send a big thank you to everyone who participated in the Midcycle!

To our sponsors we appreciate you making a venue, food, and all the other 
logistics that went into making the event a success.

Thank you to every moderator who dealt with me nagging them about their 
sessions and getting some actionable items out of their discussions; I have one 
more request coming :)

Additionally thank you to all the companies who sent their folks to the 
Midcycle:

Enter, Bloomberg, Nuage Networks, Intel, Cloudbase, Switch, and OpenStack

And to you folks who attended in person and remotely, we are very greatful that 
we sold every ticket, ate lots of Italian food, the courtyard side chats, 
networking, collaboration, and so much more. Be sure to communicate the value 
you got out of attending but most importantly let us work together outside of 
the Midcycle to accomplish what we can.

Remember OSOps meeting in #openstack-meeting-5 on 03/27/17 at 1400 UTC

[Openstack-operators] Fwd: [Openstack] nova-network -> neutron migration docs and stories?

Hi Andrew,

NeCTAR published a suite of scripts for doing a nova-network to neutron
migration: https://github.com/NeCTAR-RC/novanet2neutron

IIRC, another organization reported success with these scripts a few months
ago on the openstack-operators list.

I'm currently doing some trial runs and all looks good. I had to make some
slight modifications to account for IPv6 and floating IPs, but the scripts
are very simple and readable, so it was easy to do. I'll probably post
those modifications to Github in the next week or two.

We'll be doing the actual migration in May.

Hope that helps,
Joe

[Openstack-operators] Boston Forum - Formal Submission Now Open!

2017-03-20 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone!

We have made it to the next stage of the topic selection process for the
Forum in Boston.

Starting today, our submission tool is open for you to submit abstracts for
the most popular sessions that came out of your brainstorming. *Please note
that the etherpads are not being pulled into the submission tool and
discussion around which sessions to submit are encouraged.*

We are asking all session leaders to submit their abstracts at:

http://forumtopics.openstack.org/

*before 11:59PM UTC on Sunday April 2nd!*

We are looking for a good mix of project-specific, cross-project or
strategic/whole-of-community discussions, and *sessions that emphasize
collaboration between users and developers are most welcome!*

We assume that anything submitted to the system has achieved a good amount
of discussion and consensus that it is a worthwhile topic. After
submissions close, a team of representatives from the User Committee, the
Technical Committee, and Foundation staff will take the sessions proposed
by the community and fill out the schedule.

You can expect the draft schedule to be released on April 10th.

Further details about the Forum can be found at: https://wiki.openstack.org/
wiki/Forum

Regards,

OpenStack User Committee

[Openstack-operators] Fwd: [openstack-dev] Project Navigator Updates - Feedback Request

2017-03-27 Thread Melvin Hillsman
For those interested.


-- Forwarded message --
From: Lauren Sell 
Date: Fri, Mar 24, 2017 at 11:57 AM
Subject: [openstack-dev] Project Navigator Updates - Feedback Request
To: "OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)" <
openstack-...@lists.openstack.org>


Hi everyone,

We’ve been talking for some time about updating the project navigator, and
we have a draft ready to share for community feedback before we launch and
publicize it. One of the big goals coming out of the joint TC/UC/Board
meeting a few weeks ago[1] was to help better communicate ‘what is
openstack?’ and this is one step in that direction.

A few goals in mind for the redesign:
- Represent all official, user-facing projects and deployment services in
the navigator
- Better categorize the projects by function in a way that makes sense to
prospective users (this may evolve over time as we work on mapping the
OpenStack landscape)
- Help users understand which projects are mature and stable vs emerging
- Highlight popular project sets and sample configurations based on
different use cases to help users get started

For a bit of context, we’re working to give each OpenStack official project
a stronger platform as we think of OpenStack as a framework of composable
infrastructure services that can be used individually or together as a
powerful system. This includes the project mascots (so we in effect have
logos to promote each component separately), updates to the project
navigator, and bringing back the “project updates” track at the Summit to
give each PTL/core team a chance to provide an update on their project
roadmap (to be recorded and promoted in the project navigator among other
places!).

We want your feedback on the project navigator v2 before it launches.
Please take a look at the current version on the staging site and provide
feedback on this thread.

http://devbranch.openstack.org/software/project-navigator/

Please review the overall concept and the data and description for your
project specifically. The data is primarily pulled from TC tags[2] and Ops
tags[3]. You’ll notice some projects have more information available than
others for various reasons. That’s one reason we decided to downplay the
maturity metric for now and the data on some pages is hidden. If you think
your project is missing data, please check out the repositories and submit
changes or again respond to this thread.

Also know this will continue to evolve and we are open to feedback. As I
mentioned, a team that formed at the joint strategy session a few weeks ago
is tackling how we map OpenStack projects, which may be reflected in the
categories. And I suspect we’ll continue to build out additional tags and
better data sources to be incorporated.

Thanks for your feedback and help.

Best,
Lauren

[Openstack-operators] [Forum] Unanswered Requirements

2017-04-25 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

I would like to take the opportunity to open the discussion up for feedback
from the community leading into the Boston Forum.

*Session Description*: Collaborate/communicate around user stories, gap
analysis, what fits in the current state of tech, prioritize what would
have the greatest impact in reducing pain for users. Ideally we would like
to discuss in this session successes and failures of the current state of
our feedback loop. We should be able to identify patterns that fit within a
larger system/process that we are able to iterate through as the way to get
user requirements implemented into code. [1]

Moving the conversation forward is the aim with the ultimate goal being the
first iteration of a plan that can be implemented, and one that gathers
data/insight consistently to make specific and relevant improvements.

[Openstack-operators] Ops Meetup Team

2017-04-25 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hey everyone,

We have been having some great momentum since the Foundation enlisted a
small group of operators to manage the Midcycle and to form the Ops Meetup
Team. We have a few asks related to the teaml:

   1. More people! We need more folks to participate in the team meetings
   and activities; the more the merrier. You do not have to be an "operator";
   everyone is welcome!
   2. Themed midcycle. In an effort to continue to ensure the midcycle is
   relevant, we would like feedback on if folks agree with the midcycle being
   themed. Basically wherever the midcycle is being held, contact some folks
   in the region and focus on content that is more relevant to the folks in
   the region.

More information on the team can be found on the wiki[1]. Meeting day and
time is Tuesdays @ 1500UTC in #openstack-operators. We will also have a
session[2] in Boston around the team, its purpose, and some items to make
decisions on; looking forward to seeing you all in Boston!

[Openstack-operators] Fwd: [openstack-dev] [nova] Boston Forum session recap - cinder ephemeral storage

2017-05-18 Thread Melvin Hillsman
-- Forwarded message --
From: Matt Riedemann 
Date: Thu, May 18, 2017 at 4:24 PM
Subject: [openstack-dev] [nova] Boston Forum session recap - cinder
ephemeral storage
To: openstack-...@lists.openstack.org


The etherpad for this session is here [1]. The goal for this session was
figuring out the use cases for using Cinder as instance ephemeral storage
and short/long-term solutions.

This really came down to a single use case, which is as an operator I want
to use Cinder for all of my storage needs, which means minimal local
compute disk is used for VMs.

We discussed several solutions to this problem which are detailed with
pros/cons in the etherpad. We arrived at two solutions, one is short-term
and one is long-term:

1. Short-term: provide a way to force automatic boot from volume in the API.

John Griffith had a POC for doing this with flavor extra specs which are
controlled by the admin and by default are not discoverable by the API
user. There are downsides to this, like the fact that the API user isn't
specifying BDMs but while their server is creating, they see a volume pop
up in Horizon which they didn't expect (which is for their root disk) and
since they don't want to be charged for it, they delete it - which makes
the server go into ERROR state eventually (and is not retried). This just
makes for a weird/bad user experience and it was unclear how to
microversion this in the API so it's discoverable, plus it couples two
complicated debt-ridden pieces of Nova code: flavor extra specs and block
device mappings. It is, however, fairly simple to implement.

2. Long-term: write an image backend driver which is a proxy to Cinder.
This would not require any changes to the API, it's all configurable
per-compute, it would remove the need for the in-tree RBD/ScaleIO/LVM image
backends, and open up support for all other Cinder volume drivers - plus
we'd allow passing through a volume type via flavor extra spec in this
case. This option, however, has no owner, and is dependent on working it
into an area of the code that is very complicated and high technical debt
right now (the libvirt imagebackend code). So while we all agreed we'd love
to have this, it's not even really on the horizon.

As a compromise on the short-term option, I suggested that we avoid using
flavor extra specs to embed auto-BFV and instead put a new attribute
directly on the flavor, e.g. is_volume_backed, or something like that. This
would be in a microversion which makes it discoverable. Operators control
the flavors so they can control which ones have this flag set, and could
tie those flavors to host aggregates for compute hosts where they want to
avoid local disk for ephemeral storage.

The next step from this session is going to be fleshing out this idea into
a spec which can be discussed for the Queens release, which would also
include details on the alternatives in the etherpad and the pros/cons for
each so we don't lose that information. Unless someone beats me to it, I
think I'm signed up for writing this spec.

[Openstack-operators] Fwd: [openstack-dev] [nova] Boston Forum session recap - searchlight integration

Subject: [openstack-dev] [nova] Boston Forum session recap - searchlight
integration
To: openstack-...@lists.openstack.org


Hi everyone,

After previous summits where we had vertical tracks for Nova sessions I
would provide a recap for each session.

The Forum in Boston was a bit different, so here I'm only attempting to
recap the Forum sessions that I ran. Dan Smith led a session on Cells v2,
John Garbutt led several sessions on the VM and Baremetal platform concept,
and Sean Dague led sessions on hierarchical quotas and API microversions,
and I'm going to leave recaps for those sessions to them.

I'll do these one at a time in separate emails.


Using Searchlight to list instances across cells in nova-api


The etherpad for this session is here [1]. The goal for this session was to
explain the problem and proposed plan from the spec [2] to the operators in
the room and get feedback.

Polling the room we found that not many people are deploying Searchlight
but most everyone was using ElasticSearch.

An immediate concern that came up was the complexity involved with
integrating Searchlight, especially around issues with latency for state
changes and questioning how this does not redo the top-level cells v1 sync
issue. It admittedly does to an extent, but we don't have all of the weird
side code paths with cells v1 and it should be self-healing. Kris Lindgren
noted that the instance.usage.exists periodic notification from the
computes hammers their notification bus; we suggested he report a bug so we
can fix that.

It was also noted that if data is corrupted in ElasticSearch or is out of
sync, you could re-sync that from nova to searchlight, however, searchlight
syncs up with nova via the compute REST API, which if the compute REST API
is using searchlight in the backend, you end up getting into an infinite
loop of broken. This could probably be fixed with bypass query options in
the compute API, but it's not a fun problem.

It was also suggested that we store a minimal set of data about instances
in the top-level nova API database's instance_mappings table, where all we
have today is the uuid. Anything that is set in the API would probably be
OK for this, but operators in the room noted that they frequently need to
filter instances by an IP, which is set in the compute. So this option
turns into a slippery slope, and is potentially not inter-operable across
clouds.

Matt Booth is also skeptical that we can't have a multi-cell query perform
well, and he's proposed a POC here [3]. If that works out, then it defeats
the main purpose for using Searchlight for listing instances in the compute
API.

Since sorting instances across cells is the main issue, it was also
suggested that we allow a config option to disable sorting in the API. It
was stated this would be without a microversion, and filtering/paging would
still be supported. I'm personally skeptical about how this could be
consider inter-operable or discoverable for API users, and would need more
thought and input from users like Monty Taylor and Clark Boylan.

Next steps are going to be fleshing out Matt Booth's POC for efficiently
listing instances across cells. I think we can still continue working on
the versioned notifications changes we're making for searchlight as those
are useful on their own. And we should still work on enabling searchlight
in the nova-next CI job so we can get an idea for how the versioned
notifications are working by a consumer. However, any major development for
actually integrating searchlight into Nova is probably on hold at the
moment until we know how Matt's POC works.

[Openstack-operators] Fwd: [openstack-dev] [nova] Boston Forum session recap - instance/volume affinity for HPC

2017-05-18 Thread Melvin Hillsman

From: Matt Riedemann 
Date: Thu, May 18, 2017 at 6:53 PM
Subject: [openstack-dev] [nova] Boston Forum session recap -
instance/volume affinity for HPC
To: openstack-...@lists.openstack.org


The etherpad for this session is here [1]. This was about discussing ways
to achieve co-location or affinity for VMs and volumes for
high-performance, and was spurred by an older dev list discussion (linked
in the etherpad).

This quickly grew into side discussions and it became apparent that at a
high level we were talking about complicated solutions looking for a
problem. That is also touched on a bit after the session in the dev ML [2].

The base use case is a user wants their server instance and volume located
as close to each other as possible, ideally on the same compute host.

We talked about ways to model a sort of "distance" attribute between
resource providers in an aggregate relationship (in the placement sense of
'aggregate', not compute host aggregates in nova). This distance or
nearness idea led down a path for how you define distance in a cloud, i.e.
does 'near' mean the same host or rack or data center in a particular
cloud? How are these values defined - would they be custom per cloud and if
so, how is that discoverable/inter-operable for an end API user? It was
noted that flavors aren't inter-operable either really, at least not by
name. Jay Pipes has an older spec [3] about generic scheduling which could
replace server groups, so this could maybe fall into that.

When talking about this there are also private cloud biases, i.e. things
people are willing to tolerate or expose to their users because they are
running a private cloud. Those same things don't all work in a public
cloud, e.g. mapping availability zones one-to-one for cinder-volume and
nova-compute on the same host when you have hundreds of thousands of hosts.

Then there are other questions about if/how people have already solved this
using things like flavors with extra specs and host aggregates and the
AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter, or setting [cinder]cross_az_attach=False
in nova.conf on certain hosts. For example, setup host aggregates with
nova-compute and cinder-volume running on the same host, define flavors
with extra specs that match the host aggregate metadata, and then charge
more for those flavors as your HPC type. Or, can we say, use Ironic?

It's clear that we don't have a good end-user story for this requirement,
and so I think next steps for this are going to involve working with the
public cloud work group [4] and/or product work group [5] (hopefully those
two groups could work together here) on defining the actual use cases and
what the end user experience looks like.

Subject: [openstack-dev] [nova] Boston Forum session recap - claims in the
scheduler (or conductor)
To: openstack-...@lists.openstack.org


The etherpad for this session is here [1]. The goal for this session was to
inform operators and get feedback on the plan for what we're doing with
moving claims from the computes to the control layer (scheduler or
conductor).

We mostly talked about retries, which also came up in the cells v2 session
that Dan Smith led [2] and will recap later.

Without getting into too many details, in the cells v2 session we came to a
compromise on build retries and said that we could pass hosts down to the
cell so that the cell-level conductor could retry if needed (even though we
expect doing claims at the top will fix the majority of reasons you'd have
a reschedule in the first place).

During the claims in the scheduler session, a new wrinkle came up which is
the hosts that the scheduler returns to the top-level conductor may be in
different cells. So if we have two cells, A and B, with hosts x and y in
cell A and host z in cell B, we can't send z to A for retries, or x or y to
B for retries. So we need some kind of post-filter/weigher filtering such
that hosts are grouped by cell and then they can be sent to the cells for
retries as necessary.

There was also some side discussion asking if we somehow regressed
pack-first strategies by using Placement in Ocata. John Garbutt and Dan
Smith have the context on this (I think) so I'm hoping they can clarify if
we really need to fix something in Ocata at this point, or is this more of
a case of closing a loop-hole?

We also spent a good chunk of the session talking about overhead
calculations for memory_mb and disk_gb which happens in the compute and on
a per-hypervisor basis. In the absence of automating ways to adjust for
overhead, our solution for now is operators can adjust reserved host
resource values (vcpus, memory, disk) via config options and be
conservative or aggressive as they see fit. Chris Dent and I also noted
that you can adjust those reserved values via the placement REST API but
they will be overridden by the config in a periodic task - which may be a
bug, if not at least a surprise to an operator.

We didn't really get into this during the forum session, but there are
different opinions within the nova dev team on how to do claims in the
controller services (conductor vs scheduler). Sylvain Bauza has a series
which uses the conductor service, and Ed Leafe has a series using the
scheduler. More on that in the mailing list [3].

Next steps are going to be weighing both options between Sylvain and Ed,
picking a path and moving forward, as we don't have a lot of time to sit on
this fence if we're going to get it done in Pike.

As a side request, it would be great if companies that have teams doing
performance and scale testing could help out and compare before (Ocata) and
after (Pike with claims in the controller) results, because we eventually
want to deprecate the caching scheduler but that currently outperforms the
filter scheduler at scale because of the retries involved when using the
filter scheduler, and which we expect doing claims at the top will fix.

Hi everyone,


The OpenStack manuals project had a really productive week at the OpenStack
summit in Boston. You can find a list of all the etherpads and attendees
here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/docs-summit



As we all know, we are rapidly losing key contributors and core reviewers.
We are not alone, this is happening across the board. It is making things
harder, but not impossible. Since our inception in 2010, we’ve been
climbing higher and higher trying to achieve the best documentation we
could, and uphold our high standards. This is something to be incredibly
proud of. However, we now need to take a step back and realise that the
amount of work we are attempting to maintain is now out of reach for the
team size that we have. At the moment we have 13 cores, of which none are
full time contributors or reviewers. This includes myself.



That being said! I have spent the last week at the summit talking to some
of our leaders, including Doug Hellmann (cc’d), Jonathan Bryce and Mike
Perez regarding the future of the project. Between myself and other
community members, we have been drafting plans and coming up with a new
direction that will hopefully be sustainable in the long-term.



I am interested to hear your thoughts. I want to make sure that everyone
feels that we’re headed in the right direction first and foremost. All of
these action items are documented in this WIP etherpad:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/doc-planning



Some further highlights from the event…



· The documentation team was represented by myself, Olga, and Alex
Adamov for the Project Update: Documentation on the Monday. If you’d like
to catch up with what we talked about, the video is available online now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcfbKxbpRvc The translation team PTL, Ian
Choi, also had a session about getting more involved with the I18N team.
You can view that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybFI4nez_Z8



· Ian and I also hosted the joint I18N and documentation onboarding
session. We were visited by some friendly faces, and some new ones. Between
Ian and myself, we discussed the documentation and translation workflows,
and how to get involved (the mailing list, IRC channel, etc). Which was
lots of fun :) we’d love to see more people there in the future, hopefully
we’ll slowly get there!



· This week I was focusing heavily on making the community aware
that the documentation team was struggling to maintain contributors, but
continuing with the same amount of work. This was a heavy conversation to
be having, but it posed some really interesting questions to key leaders,
and hopefully raised appropriate concerns. Ildiko and I hosted “OpenStack
documentation: The future depends on all of us”. This was a really
interesting session. I was able to pose to the group of attendees that the
documentation team was struggling to maintain contributions. Major Hayden
was kind enough to take notes during the session, you can find those here:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/doc-future  The project teams that came
and represented their groups were interested in discussing the
project-specific documentation (is living in the project’s repo tree the
best place?) and voiced concerns I had otherwise not heard before. I
recommend reading the notes to get a better idea :)



· Kendall Nelson and Ildiko also hosted a session on the OpenStack
Upstream Institute highlights. I recommend watching the video which is now
live and available here: https://www.openstack.org/
videos/boston-2017/openstack-upstream-institute-highlights



· One of the key takeaways from the summit was the session that I
joint moderated with Melvin Hillsman regarding the Operations and
Administration Guides. You can find the etherpad with notes here:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/admin-ops-guides  The session was really
helpful – we were able to discuss with the operators present the current
situation of the documentation team, and how they could help us maintain
the two guides, aimed at the same audience. The operator’s present at the
session agreed that the Administration Guide was important, and could be
maintained upstream. However, they voted and agreed that the best course of
action for the Operations Guide was for it to be pulled down and put into a
wiki that the operators could manage themselves. We will be looking at
actioning this item as soon as possible.



These action items will free up the documentation team to become gate
keepers and reviewers of documentation. Our key focus as a team will be on
the tooling for the docs.openstack.o

[Openstack-operators] Turning TC/UC workgroups into OpenStack SIGs [all][uc]

2017-06-21 Thread Melvin Hillsman
Hi everyone,

One of the areas identified as a priority by the Board + TC + UC workshop
in March was the need to better close the feedback loop and make unanswered
requirements emerge. Part of the solution is to ensure that groups that
look at specific use cases, or specific problem spaces within OpenStack get
participation from a wide spectrum of roles, from pure operators of
OpenStack clouds, to upstream developers, product managers, researchers,
and every combination thereof. In the past year we reorganized the Design
Summit event, so that the design / planning / feedback gathering part of it
would be less dev- or ops-branded, to encourage participation of everyone
in a neutral ground, based on the topic being discussed. That was just a
first step.

In OpenStack we have a number of "working groups", groups of people
interested in discussing a given use case, or addressing a given problem
space across all of OpenStack. Examples include the API working group, the
Deployment working group, the Public clouds working group, the Telco/NFV
working group, or the Scientific working group. However, for governance
reasons, those are currently set up either as a User Committee working
group[1], or a working group depending on the Technical Committee[2]. This
branding of working groups artificially discourages participation from one
side to the others group, for no specific reason. This needs to be fixed.

We propose to take a page out of Kubernetes playbook and set up "SIGs"
(special interest groups), that would be primarily defined by their mission
(i.e. the use case / problem space the group wants to collectively
address). Those SIGs would not be Ops SIGs or Dev SIGs, they would just be
OpenStack SIGs. While possible some groups will lean more towards an
operator or dev focus (based on their mission), it is important to
encourage everyone to join in early and often. SIGs could be very easily
set up, just by adding your group to a wiki page, defining the mission of
the group, a contact point and details on meetings (if the group has any).
No need for prior vetting by any governance body. The TC and UC would
likely still clean up dead SIGs from the list, to keep it relevant and
tidy. Since they are neither dev or ops, SIGs would not use the -dev or the
-operators lists: they would use a specific ML (openstack-sigs ?) to hold
their discussions without cross-posting, with appropriate subject tagging.

Not everything would become a SIG. Upstream project teams would remain the
same (although some of them, like Security, might turn into a SIG). Teams
under the UC that are purely operator-facing (like the Ops Tags Team or the
AUC recognition team) would likewise stay as UC subteams.

Comments, thoughts ?

I believe we still have WGs that overlap for specific objectives - like
scalability - and having a Scalability SIG could be more efficient rather
than the objective existing in multiple WGs who still have to gather
resources to address the objective. Spin up/down can still happen though I
think of a SIG as something that while it would spin down at some point, it
may be quite some time before it does, depending on the special interest.

I think SIGs like Documentation, Public Cloud, Scalability, make sense
rather than being created to address a more specific objective. A WG could
spin off from a SIG but does not seem reasonable for it to be the other way
around since the idea behind a working group is to work on something
specific - AUC Recognition - and then those members fold back into 0 or 1
SIG. I could be off but I get the feeling that WGs can come together and
find commonality amongst each other within a SIG and get more
accomplished/quicker aggregating resources around what they already share
interest in.

Personally I think AUC could go to all members of the SIGs and ATC for
those meeting the criteria but this may be a conversation to have between
TC/UC where extra-ATC is provided as it does not seem fair, though fair may
be irrelevant or relative, for UC elections to be wholly subjected to all
SIG members and not TC elections.

A SIG possibly should continue to exist for something like scaling, as it
will more than likely not have been created for a defined work dealing with
scaling but rather scaling itself which a number of work items would come
out of.

Part of the resolution SIGs can assist with in getting folks to attend,
getting paid or not, are a number of outcomes from SIGs, well thought out
feature requests (PjMs), understanding of what should/should not/can/can
not be done (DEVs), why it makes sense to resolve one or more should/can
nots (OPs), resources to speed time to resolution (PrMs), single point of
discussion (ALL), etc, etc. Possibly when folks see that rather than
spending 100% of their resources on a work item that load can be shared and
there is a simple way to determine so by participating in a SIG that will
help as well.

Just a friendly reminder for those who are waking up on the other side of
the globe. Please take a moment to put some ideas for sessions in the
etherpad - https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/MEX-ops-meetup

Even if you are not able to make the midcycle, please take time to propose
sessions.
