Alfredo,
Last followup question, Once victora release comes out in future in that case does openstackvswitch2.13 will be default part of rdo-victoria packages right? OR do i need to install centos-release-nfv-openvswitch extra repo to get that package to install?
No, it will be installed and enabled by default when installing centos-release-openstack-victoria package or downloading [1] if you plan to use RDO Trunk repo.

BTW, victoria is ready to be used https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2020-November/056179.html

Just to follow up,
I have successfully deployed ovs+dpdk on centOS-8 on ussuri using the following repo. (openvswitch2.13)
dnf install -y centos-release-nfv-openvswitch
Just curious why RPM package name is openvswitch2.13 instead of openvswitch-2-13 (Let me guess because of centOS RDO provides that same naming style right?)
Actually not. Those packages are rebuilt from Red Hat Fast Datapath
repositories [1] which use those names. The actual reason is that those names allow to have openvswitch 2.11 and 2.13 in the same repositories and let user choose the version that each project wants to use from it.

That is great news, it's coming back in victoria. Thanks for the
update.
For fun this is what i did, I downloaded openvswitch-2.12.x.x.x.srpm and re-compile RPM with --with-dpdk support against dpdk-18.11 and i was successfully able to produce RPM.
I have installed RPM on my computer node and it looks good so far, i am successfully able to add my nic to OVS using DPDK interface. I
have
noticed CPU usage of ovs-vswitchd showing 100% but it looks like that is expected behavior.
[root@compute-2 ~]# ovs-vswitchd --version ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 2.12.0 DPDK 18.11.2
[root@compute-2 ~]# ovs-vsctl show Bridge br-provider Controller "tcp:127.0.0.1:6633" is_connected: true fail_mode: secure datapath_type: netdev Port phy-br-provider Interface phy-br-provider type: patch options: {peer=int-br-provider} Port br-provider Interface br-provider type: internal Port "dpdk-0" Interface "dpdk-0" type: dpdk options: {dpdk-devargs="0000:06:00.0"} ovs_version: "2.12.0"
I didn't see any issue so very curious when you said openvswitch-2.12 is broken. I would like to know more if i am doing wrong.
I am running a fairly large openstack cloud using LinuxBridge/SR-IOV and am very happy with simplicity. First time I am trying to deploy OpenvSwitch in the lab to see how everything looks, a little nervous because I heard lots of nightmare stories from various folks, but it looks like the future is OVS.
I will try NFV repo and see how it goes :)

yes, Victoria has openvsiwtch 2.13 with dpdk enabled.
if you can move to victoria, it would be the easiest way and my
recommendation.

AFAIK, Ussuri should work also with 2.13 but you need to do some
steps:
- Add NFV SIG repository:
dnf install -y centos-release-nfv-openvswitch
- Package name change in NFS SIG from openvswitch to
openvswitch2.13 so you need some wrapper packages for compatibility. You can download those wrappers from https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=31051 (you need all RPMs in noarch list), create a local repository with them and add it to all nodes in the cluster.
Update all nodes and you should get openvswitch updated to new
packages openvswitch2.13 (and ovn2.13 if you are using ovn). Note that you may need to re-enable and restart openvswitch services manually after the update.

openvswitch-2.12-1.el8 has dpdk support disabled as it doesn't work with the version of dpdk included in CentOS 8.2.

coming from NFV SIG builds. We may backport this to Ussuri although we need to validate if it breaks updates somehow, so it's still work in progress.

are you using TripleO?, depending on it, we may be able to provide some workaround to update OpenvSwitch to the latest openvswitch manually.
