by Akashdeep Dhar 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hello, 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/) If you wish to read in a well-formatted blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update-week-of-october-2… # 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. Updates ------- ### Fedora Infra * Freeze breaks: added regions to aws fedimg uploads and fixed a caching issue with upgrade json * Rebooted: proxy34 and bvmhost-x86-07 * Tried to fix move of wiki talk pages, ended up creating PR to disable all talk pages. * At 66 tickets, but many should be closable after freeze ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * Kicked some migration for tenants on legacy cluster (nfs-ganesha) * Rebased cico-workspace container to 8-stream (staging) (Ref https://quay.io/repository/centosci/cico-workspace/build/b197513b-0105-4774… ) * Pushed some new ciphers in prod through ansible role to get A+ cert on Qualys (Ref https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=git.centos.org&hideResults=on ) * Mirrormanager tuning with Adrian for 9-stream inside CI infra (Ref https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/host/2751) * Added/announced aarch64 as covered architecture for CI infra tenants ### Release Engineering * F35 RC-1.2 is out and can be found at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/35_RC-1.2/ * Business as usual ## 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 ------- * Basic Stream/RHEL Buildroot reporting is in place, thanks James! * Open discussion on pruning older packages from what we publish to the mirrors * Open discussion on the impact of consolidating the Stream 8 and Stream 9 workflows for maintainers * Business as usual ## CentOS Duffy CI Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to provision and access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for the purposes of CI testing. We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We have OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing playbooks which can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but due to the current state of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with new dev work to add the VM checkout functionality. Updates ------- * Set up a boilerplate with a skeleton application * Set up the CI in the repository with tests and coverage * Created a CLI for configuring parameters * Discussed workflows and methods for implementing models ## FCOS OpenShift migration Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Move current Fedora CoreOS pipeline from the centos-ci OCP4 cluster to the newly deployed fedora infra OCP4 cluster. Updates ------- * Obtaining access on the cluster * Creating playbook to create OpenShift resources * Got the cluster updated and ready Thanks and regards, Akashdeep Dhar t0xic0der(a)fedoraproject.org akashdeep(a)redhat.com

Xena RDO Release Announcement
by Amy Marrich 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

If you're having trouble with the formatting, this release announcement is available online at https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2021/10/rdo-xena-released/ ---- *RDO Xena Released* The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Xena for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Xena is the 24th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world. The release is already available on the CentOS mirror network at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-xena/. The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds. All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first. PLEASE NOTE: RDO Xena provides packages for CentOS Stream 8 only. Please use the Victoria release for CentOS Linux 8 which will reach End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021 (https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/) *Interesting things in the Xena release include:* - The python-oslo-limit package has been added to RDO. This is the limit enforcement library which assists with quota calculation. Its aim is to provide support for quota enforcement across all OpenStack services. - The glance-tempest-plugin package has been added to RDO. This package provides a set of functional tests to validate Glance using the Tempest framework. - TripleO has been moved to an independend release model (see section TripleO in the RDO Xena release) The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read via https://releases.openstack.org/xena/highlights.html *TripleO in the RDO Xena release:* - In the Xena development cycle, TripleO has moved to an Independent release model( https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/tripleo-specs/specs/xena/tripleo-inde… ) and will only maintain branches for selected OpenStack releases. In the case of Xena, TripleO will not support the Xena release. For TripleO users in RDO, this means that: - RDO Xena will include packages for TripleO tested at OpenStack Xena GA time. - Those packages will not be updated during the entire Xena maintenance cycle. - RDO will not be able to included patches required to fix bugs in TripleO on RDO Xena. - The lifecycle for the non-TripleO packages will follow the code merged and tested in upstream stable/xena branches. - There will not be any tripleoxena container images built/pushed, so interested users will have to do their own container builds when deploying xena. You can find details about this [in RDO webpage](https://www.rdoproject.org/documentation/tripleo-in-xena/) *Contributors* During the Xena cycle, we saw the following new RDO contributors: - Chris Sibbitt - Gregory Thiemonge - Julia Kreger - Leif Madsen Welcome to all of you and Thank You So Much for participating! But we wouldn’t want to overlook anyone. A super massive Thank You to all 41 contributors who participated in producing this release. This list includes commits to rdo-packages, rdo-infra, and redhat-website repositories: - Alan Bishop - Alan Pevec - Alex Schultz - Alfredo Moralejo - Amy Marrich (spotz) - Bogdan Dobrelya - Chandan Kumar - Chris Sibbitt - Damien Ciabrini - Dmitry Tantsur - Eric Harney - Gaël Chamoulaud - Giulio Fidente - Goutham Pacha Ravi - Gregory Thiemonge - Grzegorz Grasza - Harald Jensas - James Slagle - Javier Peña - Jiri Podivin - Joel Capitao - Jon Schlueter - Julia Kreger - Lee Yarwood - Leif Madsen - Luigi Toscano - Marios Andreou - Mark McClain - Martin Kopec - Mathieu Bultel - Matthias Runge - Michele Baldessari - Pranali Deore - Rabi Mishra - Riccardo Pittau - Sagi Shnaidman - Sławek Kapłoński - Steve Baker - Takashi Kajinami - Wes Hayutin - Yatin Karel *The Next Release Cycle* At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Yoga. *Get Started* To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works. Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program. This is a collaborative effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public cloud providers around the world. *Get Help* The RDO Project has our users(a)lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and operators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org. The #rdo channel on OFTC IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help. We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS devel mailing list and the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel in Libera.Chat network, and #tripleo on OFTC), however we have a more focused audience within the RDO venues. *Get Involved* To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, check out the RDO contribute pages, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation. Join us in #rdo and #tripleo on the OFTC IRC network and follow us on Twitter @RDOCommunity. You can also find us on Facebook and YouTube. *Amy Marrich* She/Her/Hers Principal Technical Marketing Manager - Cloud Platforms Red Hat, Inc <https://www.redhat.com/> amy(a)redhat.com Mobile: 954-818-0514 Slack: amarrich IRC: spotz <https://www.redhat.com/>

CPE Weekly Update – Week of October 18th – 22nd
by Michal Konecny 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

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/) If you wish to read in form of blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update-week-of-october-1… # 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. Update ------ ### Fedora Infra * Fixed fasjson in stg (was stuck on a image pull) * Added 200GB to ostree netapp volume * Retired iddev and simple-koji-ci cloud instances * Declared the sssd bug fixed (hadn’t happened in 2 weeks) ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * Stream 9 available in CI (x86_64 only though) * Newer python-cicolient * Duffy2 hotfix for paramiko issue with el9 * Exploring options for secureboot for SIGs * Deploying Duffy Dev Lab for initiative * Business as usual (new tags created for SIGs, ….) ### Release Engineering * Updated critpath packages for all releases * F35 final RC request landed * Compose is finished with incomplete state armhfp container aarch64 KDE and failed ## 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 ------- * Work continues on Content Resolver buildroot support * We're now running repoclosure before we sync to the mirrors ## Datanommer/Datagrepper V.2 Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- The datanommer and datagrepper stacks are currently relying on fedmsg which we want to deprecate. These two applications need to be ported off fedmsg to fedora-messaging. As these applications are 'old-timers' in the fedora infrastructure, we would also like to look at optimizing the database or potentially redesigning it to better suit the current infrastructure needs. For a phase two, we would like to focus on a DB overhaul. Updates ------- * Import crashed because of a database schema design decision that didn’t account for the size of our messages, it's fixed and the import started again because the schema update on existing data would take a lot of time too. ETA is back to 70 days. ## CentOS Duffy CI Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to provision and access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for the purposes of CI testing. We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We have OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing playbooks which can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but due to the current state of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with new dev work to add the VM checkout functionality. Updates ------- * Took stock and decided to rewrite * Cleaned up branches * Boilerplate work Kindest regards, CPE Team

CentOS Stream 9 is available in CI infra for tenants/projects
by Fabian Arrotin 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

For people not following inititial infra ticket about this (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/441) here is a quick status about CentOS Stream 9 availability in CI infra : Starting from today, each tenant in CI infra can request Stream 9 for the x86_64 architecture. Due to lack of compatible hardware for ppc64le, it's not available yet but we hope to be able to provide it before end of this year. aarch64 is on the list of architectures to be tested and added (more on that when it will be ready) We already updated the python-cicoclient to correct version on the previous Virtual Machines setup behind ci.centos.org but we still have (next on the list) to update the cico-workspace container/image to include newer python-cicoclient (see http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/infra/x86_64/infra-common/Packages/p/pyth…) that is used in the openshift/ocp 4 cluster Enjoy your tests on Stream 9 ! PS: at the infra side, we'll still have to also have an internal mirror returned by mirrormanager as it's actually using external mirrors, so dnf operations will be "slow" versus what you can see for 7/8/8-stream, but it's on the list -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

CentOS Stream 9 "launch" promotion
by Rich Bowen 13 Oct '21

13 Oct '21

We are now at the point in the CentOS Stream 9 process that we need to do some kind of a "launch" promotional effort, so that people are aware of the work that is being done here beyond the "Coming Soon" message on the download page. If you are willing to participate in this effort, we will be coordinating on the centos-promo mailing list - https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-promo - so if you're not subscribed, this is a good time to do so. We will be initially producing two things: * A blog post for blog.centos.org (and possibly one for a redhat.com property as well) * Web content that will go at centos.org/stream9 Initial notes about what we're creating are here: https://hackmd.io/RkOiWNmIQcWSubQ3emY0lg We would like to produce this content within the next month - end of November latest. Launching this content would be coordinated with launching the new visual/design work for our various websites. So ... y'all come help!

October CentOS Dojo - Event report
by Rich Bowen 11 Oct '21

11 Oct '21

Thanks to all who attended, and spoke at, last week's CentOS Dojo. We had 126 registrations, and 77% turnout. (Apparently average turnout is something like 51% for free virtual events) Our peak attendance at any one time was 51. Top countries by registered users United States 52 (41.26%) Poland 11 (8.73%) France 5 (3.96%) Belgium 4 (3.17%) Canada 4 (3.17%) Other 50 (39.71%) Top areas by attendees Hallway Track (Thursday) 47 Board of Directors AMA 47 What does Red Hat Want? 46 State of EPEL on CentOS 42 Modules - Love/Hate relationship 37 CentOS Stream and meeting the user requirements of Public Cl 30 All of the video from the event is now on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BULvfaOvc-M&list=PLuRtbOXpVDjCSvlyrEtctWVeX… The video, and some of the slides, are at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/October2021 I have more of the slides, and just need to get them listed there. We should have all of the slides this week. I expect the next CentOS Dojo to happen the week of FOSDEM. What's uncertain, at this point, of course, is whether FOSDEM will happen in person, and whether travel from the US to the EU will be a thing, so I'm going to give it a month or two before starting planning. Unless, of course, someone else steps up to plan the next one, which would be awesome. --Rich
