## Weekly status 🌟 Apache CloudStack had a productive week with **8 commits** landing between 13 and 20 September. Engineering momentum is strong across release readiness, storage, backup reliability, and hypervisor support. ### Highlights - **Upgrade and release readiness:** Added the 4.23.0.0 upgrade path from 4.23.0.0-era schema work, including versioning and upgrade-test fixes. - **KVM/Ceph storage:** Delivered librbd-native LUKS2 encryption for RBD volumes, encryption-aware resize and root-template flows, capability gating, and unit coverage. RBD template creation also now honors `rbd_default_data_pool`, improving erasure-coded pool placement. - **Backup reliability:** Backport work added incremental NAS backups for KVM, while restore handling now detects mount/unmount failures, cleans up failed mounts, and respects configured timeouts. Backup providers no longer require powered-off VMs. - **Xen/XCP-ng:** Improved cross-pool volume-copy behavior, with active community attention on XCP-ng 8.3 system-VM/secondary-storage deployment compatibility. - **Release status:** CloudStack **4.23.0.0** remains the latest regular release (2 September); no new release was published this week. ### Project status The project is moving forward confidently toward broader 4.23 adoption. The largest value delivered this week is operational: encrypted Ceph volumes, smaller/faster incremental backups, and clearer failure handling reduce risk for production operators. The active issue queue still includes deployment compatibility and CKS offering usability concerns, so focused follow-through will help turn this momentum into a smoother operator experience. ### Recommended next steps 1. **Validate in live environments:** Exercise encrypted RBD boot, attach, resize, migration, snapshot/revert, and template-import paths across supported Ceph/libvirt combinations. 2. **Close the XCP-ng 8.3 gap:** Confirm the correct replacement for the removed `lvhdutil` dependency and verify system VM deployment plus LVM/iSCSI operations. 3. **Promote the backup improvements:** Run upgrade/backward-compatibility coverage for incremental NAS chains and document operational prerequisites and recovery behavior. 4. **Triage user-facing follow-ups:** Prioritize the open XCP-ng deployment report and CKS custom-offering workflow, and keep release/upgrade documentation aligned with 4.23 adoption. Thanks to everyone contributing reviews, backports, testing, and operational feedback—great progress this week! 🚀 > Generated by [Weekly Repo Status](https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/actions/runs/35510384779) · gpt56 185.2K · [◷](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aapache%2Fcloudstack+is%3Aissue+%22gh-aw-workflow-call-id%3A+apache%2Fcloudstack%2Fweekly-repo-status%22&type=issues) > <details> <summary>Add this agentic workflows to your repo</summary> To install this agentic workflow, run ``` gh aw add githubnext/agentics/workflows/repo-status.md@main ``` </details> <!-- gh-aw-agentic-workflow: Weekly Repo Status, engine: copilot, version: 1.0.52, model: gpt-5.6-luna, id: 35510384779, workflow_id: weekly-repo-status, run: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/actions/runs/35510384779 --> <!-- gh-aw-workflow-id: weekly-repo-status --> <!-- gh-aw-workflow-call-id: apache/cloudstack/weekly-repo-status --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
