CPE Weekly Update – Week 29 2022
by Lenka Segura 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

Hi everyone, This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering) Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat (https://libera.chat/) Week: 18th - 22nd of July 2022 If you wish to read this in form of a blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update--week-29-2022/ # Highlights of the week ## Infrastructure & Release Engineering Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work. It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.). The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on. Link to planning board: https://zlopez.fedorapeople.org/I&R-2022-07-20.pdf Link to docs: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/ Update ------ ### Fedora Infra * New version of FMN released - removal of python-fedora requirement and all FAS2 calls * (almost) all builders reinstalled with f36 and bvmhosts moved to RHEL9 or Fedora36. There’s a few arm buildhw’s to be done after the mass rebuild. * FMN (py2) caught up finally, still needs fas2. Looking to switch to FMN (py3) soon. * Some recent rabbitmq / fedora-messaging cluster problems. Gave it more memory and hopefully it’s happy again. * Finally got *.fedoraproject.org ssl cert working with “FUTURE” encryption. * 5 new aarch64 machines and ½ new shelf of netapp storage arriving soon. ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * Mirror requests * Duffy migration tasks * Business as usual ### Release Engineering * Mass rebuild starts later this morning (Wed 20th) unless any last minute delays. ## CentOS Stream Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream. Updates ------- * A Stream 8 compose has been pushed to correct some repoclosure issues with the kernel * Lots of PTO ## Package Automation (Packit Service) Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Automate RPM packaging of infra apps/packages. Updates ------- * Datagrepper is with packit * Mirrormanager2 in progress ## Flask-oidc: oauth2client replacement Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Flask-oidc is a library used across the Fedora infrastructure and is the client for ipsilon for its authentication. flask-oidc uses oauth2client. This library is now deprecated and no longer maintained. This will need to be replaced with authlib. Updates: -------- * Pull request is in https://github.com/fedora-infra/flask-oidc/pull/8 * Worked through the comments/suggestions from Aurelien * NEED EXPERIENCED TESTERS (to help write tests, need to update existing tests, scenario is complex, mocking out Ipsilon responses etc feel free to join) ## EPEL Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL). EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more. Updates ------- * EPEL9 is up to 6608 (+266) packages from 3083 (+127) source packages * Sponsoring of new packagers with interest in EPEL * Add python-tenacity to resolve ansible-lint fail to install bug * Notable package additions: * keepassxc * asciinema ## FMN replacement Goal of this initiative ----------------------- FMN (Fedora-Messaging-Notification) is a web application allowing users to create filters on messages sent to (currently) fedmsg and forward these as notifications on to email or IRC. The goal of the initiative is mainly to add fedora-messaging schemas, create a new UI for a better user experience and create a new service to triage incoming messages to reduce the current message delivery lag problem. Community will profit from speedier notifications based on own preferences (IRC, Matrix, Email), unified fedora project to one message service and human-readable results in Datagrepper. Also, CPE tech debt will be significantly reduced by dropping the maintenance of fedmsg altogether. Updates ------- * Early days - pre-planning talks done today * Scoping/research/fact finding from the arc investigation https://fedora-arc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fmn/april2022/index.html * Possibility of using Vue instead of React on frontend, typescript vs javascript also a possibility, FastAPI for the backend API Kindest regards, CPE Team

Board Nominations Requested
by Shaun McCance 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

** Please read this entire email before responding with nominations. ** We have a process, and the process is important. As per our governance docs: https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/ Every six months, half of our directors are asked if they wish to continue in their seats or step down. This time, we will have one seat to fill. Tru Huynh has indicated to the board his intent to step down. Tru has been a part of this community for a long time, and we all deeply appreciate the work he's done both on the board and across the entire project. We are asking you, the CentOS community, for nominations for who should fill Tru's seat. Note that the vote on who will fill his seat is held by the board itself, but nominations are open to the entire community. If you would like to nominate someone (or self-nominate), please use this Google form: https://forms.gle/WsknUVnPL5zbWcSK6 Please DO NOT send nominations to this list. As this is not a public vote, we don't to give the impression of a popularity contest with public nominations. We also want to avoid any shaming if someone is nominated and is not seated, or chooses not to accept. I will ensure that each nominee is willing and able to serve, and the board will consider them and select the next director from the list. If you wish to nominate someone, you should consider the list of director requirements and recommendations listed at: https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/ Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and participation in this process. -- Shaun, for the CentOS Board of Directors

Changes on CentOS CI and next steps
by Camila Granella 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

*TL;DR: CentOS CI is going hardwareless and if you wish your project remains using it, we need your opt-in by August 2022. There is a Dojo Summer 2022 <https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Summer2022> session happening on Thursday, June 17th, that will explain further technical details. * Hello everyone, As many of you know, since the beginning of this year we have been reevaluating the future of CentOS CI, as currently the hardware being used for it is out of warranty. This is due to the fact that CentOS CI came from community donations of hardware which were maintained in a best effort manner by our team. With no warranties, when the physical machine dies we have no means to replace it. Right now though, our hardware, due to a lack of warranty, will not be moved with the upcoming data center changes due to data center requirements to have in warranty hardware for supportability. We decided to take this opportunity to modernize our current infrastructure, pushing it to a hybrid cloud environment. Duffy CI will become the main tool from now on, so that we can support the CI workflow and best practices on cloud and for this reason, the current hardware infra will no longer be available soon. However, as an effort to continuously provide resources and support CI best practices for projects, our team is adapting Duffy CI so that we can maintain most of the characteristics of our current, physical-based offering. At the technical level, what does that mean for you, CI tenants? - A new Duffy API service will replace the existing one: while it will be running in compatibility/legacy mode with the previous version, you will need to adapt your workflow to the new API, but more details below - We will transition to AWS EC2 instances for the aarch64 and x86_64 architectures by default, with a (limited) option to request “metal” instances for projects requiring virtualization for their tests (like KVM/vagrant/etc) - We will keep a (very small) Power9 infra “on-premise” (AWS does not support ppc64le) for the ppc64le tests (available through a dedicated VPN tunnel) - The existing OpenShift cluster will be also decommissioned and a new one (hosted in AWS, so without an option to run kubevirt operator nor VMs) will be then used (you will have to migrate from one to the other) With that being said, tenants can start preparing for the changes to happen with the maximum deadline of the end of December 2022 wherein at this point, Duffy API legacy mode will be removed. You are required to opt-in if you and/or your team want to use Duffy CI. Projects will only be migrated if they reply to this email confirming that they wish to proceed. Worth knowing that not opting in means that your API key will not be migrated and so all your requests to get temporary/ephemeral nodes will be rejected by the new Duffy API. The maximum decommission deadline of the current hardware infrastructure is December 12th, 2022 and the new Duffy CI will go live in August 2022, so please, complete your migration process by the end of CY22. Reminders of deadlines and of the opt-in requirements will be sent monthly, but your confirmation of opt-in is required by August 2022. When approaching December, reminders about deadlines frequency will increase so that we can ensure effective communication throughout the process. Here are the steps in which we will migrate CI Infra: Phase 1 - Deploy Duffy V3 (August 2022) - Deploy in legacy/compatibility mode, so existing tenants (that opted in !) can still request duffy nodes the same way (like with 'python-cicoclient') : no change at tenants side, and exactly same hardware for tests (transparent migration) - New Duffy API endpoint becomes available, and tenants can start adapting their workflows to point to new API (new ‘duffy-cli’ tool coming, with documentation) - Bare metal and VMs options will be available already through the new API (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le) Phase 2 - Hybrid Cloud (October 2022) - Legacy/compatibility API endpoint will handover EC2 instances instead of local seamicro nodes (VMs vs bare metal) - Bare metal options will be available through the new API only - Legacy seamicro and aarch64/ThunderX hardware are decommissioned - Only remaining "on-premise" option is ppc64le (local cloud) Phase 3 - Decommission (December 2022) - Legacy/compatibility API deprecated and requests (even for EC2 instances) will no longer be accepted - All tenants that opted in will be using only EC2 for aarch64/x86_64 and on-premise cloud for ppc64le OpenShift new deployment planning and timeline To be defined (deadline for planning and timeline: end of June 2022) Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. It is worth knowing that there will be a dedicated session about the Future of CentOS CI infra at the next CentOS Dojo happening on June 17h (check Dojo Summer 2022 <https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Summer2022>). That session will be recorded and then available on Youtube but if you have any questions. Feel free to join the CentOS Dojo and reach out to us!
