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 (clarkb 20250401)
    • Upgrade happened on December 7
    • We are running Gerrit 3.11 on top of Debian Bookworm with Java 17
    • 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
    • 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)
    • Fungi is looking at renaming this project on December 12 at 2100 UTC
  • 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
    • Current blocker is adding a new bot account for the status bot on matrix
    • EMS requires email for all newly created accounts. We can use a beta dashboard to do so without validating the email address
    • Another option would be to use plus addressing to give bots working email addresses
    • It isn't clear if we can use a single email address with multiple accounts
  • Zuul Launcher Updates (clarkb 20251125)
    • We found a corrupted image upload in raxflex sjc3 again on November 21. Previous occurrence was discovered on October 6
    • https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul/+/968090 Will validate the glance checksum against our checksum and reject mismatches
      • It isn't clear to clarkb if this is safe as glance may change the checksum value if it does a format conversion on the backend?
    • Floating IPs attached to held nodes were deleted in raxflex. Likely due to our leaked fip cleanup routine. Debugging has been added to the launcher to track this down.
    • Clarkb will send email to Rackspace today to follow up on this incase it got lost during the holiday week at the end of November.

• Open discussion
