Service(s) affected: OpenStack API and dashboard on the x86, ARM and POWER clouds. Running instances are not affected.
This afternoon, Monday, October 5, we will be migrating our OpenStack clouds to new OpenStack packages. Running instances and their networking will keep running throughout. You may see brief interruptions when using the OpenStack API or the dashboard: launching, resizing, migrating or deleting instances, and attaching volumes, may briefly fail or be slow. If you have automation that calls the API, such as CI that launches instances, expect occasional failed requests during the window and retry them. Outage Window: Start: Mon, Oct 5, 1:00PM PDT (Mon Oct 5 2000 UTC) End: Mon, Oct 5, 5:00PM PDT (Tue Oct 6 0000 UTC) Reason for outage: We're moving every controller and hypervisor off the RDO packages we've used until now and onto OpenStack packages we build and maintain ourselves, and moving the API services to a new application server. This gives us more flexibility to move to newer OpenStack releases and to support all of our architectures, and lets us keep OpenStack patched without depending on an upstream package set. It also lets us move to a new AlmaLinux major version on our own schedule rather than RDO's; our goal is to reach AlmaLinux 10 as soon as possible. The packaging is public: https://git.osuosl.org/rpms/openstack-packaging Not affected: running instances (guest VMs), their networking and their attached volumes keep running throughout, and the API endpoints, your credentials and the dashboard address stay the same. We migrate one server at a time, so each interruption should last only a few minutes. We've run this migration in a multi-node test environment to make sure the process works, but production may still turn up issues we haven't seen. Projects affected: All projects using the OSL OpenStack clouds (x86, ARM and POWER) Status page: https://status.osuosl.org/pages/maintenance/526712bf10cd4e587b000014/6ac3e43ab1079c5702dd2249 If you notice any issues after the migration is complete, please email [email protected] to open a ticket so we can resolve them. Questions or concerns before then can go to the same address. -- Lance Albertson Director Oregon State University | Open Source Lab
