Weekly Project Infrastructure team meeting

The OpenDev Team holds public weekly meetings in #opendev-meeting on OFTC, Tuesdays at 1900 UTC. Everyone interested in infrastructure and process surrounding automated testing and deployment is encouraged to attend.

Please feel free to add agenda items (and your IRC nick in parenthesis).

Agenda for next meeting

• Announcements
  • December 30 meeting will be cancelled. Other meetings may be cancelled depending on attendance

• Actions from last meeting

• Specs Review

• Topics
  • Gerrit 3.11 Upgrade Cleanup Tasks (clarkb 20250401)
    • Gerrit 3.11 supports Java 21 and Gerrit 3.12 requires Java 21
      • The next big Gerrit todo item is to update our container image to Trixie and Java 21. This will enable us to build and test Gerrit 3.12 as well
      • Other containers have updated to Trixie and seem to be working well.
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/970160 Switches Gerrit to Java 21 on Debian Trixie
    • https://review.opendev.org/q/hashtag:%22upgrade-gerrit-3.11%22+status:open
    • Additionally, testing of gerritlib and jeepyb is updated to improve coverage of those tools with newer Gerrit. Changes are in the list linked above.
    • Hit an unexpected exception that appears to mostly just be noise:
      • https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/issues/467103128
  • Rename project app-kubernetes-module-manager to app-kernel-module-management (clarkb 20251125)
    • Rename happened December 12 at approximately 2000 UTC
    • Discovered that gerrit2 doesn't own its own homedir impacting some Ansible tasks in the rename playbook
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/970919
    • Also decided we should have manage-projects record logs the same way as other infra-prod jobs
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/970920
  • Upgrading Old Servers (clarkb 20230627)
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-bionic-server-upgrades
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-focal-server-upgrades
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-server-replacement-sprint
      • wiki.openstack.org: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/opendev-mediawiki-upgrade
      • tonyb looking at cacti after wiki
    • Next on the list are graphite and backup servers
    • Can probably spin up new backup servers alongside the old ones then migrate the old volumes off the old servers to the new ones and finally delete the old servers. Just need to double check borg version support matrix details and also what adding new backup servers will do to our cron job setups for backups.
    • Remember to use launch-node's --config-drive flag when booting new Noble nodes in Rax Classic
  • Moving OpenDev Synchronous Communication to Matrix (clarkb 20250520)
    • https://docs.opendev.org/opendev/infra-specs/latest/specs/matrix_for_opendev.html
    • Created a new @status account for statusbot.
      • Gave it a valid email address using a plus address suffix and account creation succeeded but recorded an error setting the email address
    • Private vars should be updated and we can land the change to update statusbot configs whenever we like
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/969328
  • zuul-registry Image Pruning of OCI Images (clarkb 20251216)
    • We (re)discovered that speculative images in the intermediate registry seem to get pruned too soon
    • Images older than 180 are expected to be pruned but these were ~2 days old and removed
    • Investigation shows that the pruning routine handles docker image types properly but not oci image types.
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul-registry/+/970480/ This change fixes that and has a few parents/children addressing general CI concerns.
  • Adding Bad Crawler Honeypots to our Sites (clarkb 20251216)
    • As the web crawlers go crazy on the Internet more and more people notice the disruption they cause
    • We can continue to make our services faster and bigger to keep up, but pushing against some of the demand is also a good idea
    • One idea from fungi is that we set up a honeypot of invalid Disallowed data (via robots.txt) and anyone that fetches it gets blocked
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/970674 Implement a PoC honeypot against docs.opendev.org

• Open discussion

Upcoming Project Renames

(any additions should mention original->new full names and link to the corresponding project-config rename change in Gerrit) Changes should have their topic set to project-rename.

• Rename example/foo -> example/bar: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/123456
• Rename starlingx/app-kubernetes-module-manager -> starlingx/app-kernel-module-management: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/968047
