Icehouse-rc1.
We are in stability phase of the cycle.
- Only bug fixes and FFEs will be merged.
- Other contributions will be given temporary -2 until tree opens for Juno.

Bugs

Stable branch is still having stability problems in the test runs.
Critical Open Bugs
- get_firewall_required should use VIF parameter from neutron - nati_ueno
- grenade-dsvm-neutron Failure in upgrade-swift - jlibosva
- Unsequenced alembic migration files block the gate - markmcclain
- Error reading SSH protocol banner - markmcclain
- VMs can't progress through state changes because Neutron is deadlocking - markmcclain
- Attempts to verify guests are running via SSH fails. SSH connection to guest does not work - salv-orlando

This bugs are in nova that are related to neutron that would be great if we could get neutron reviews on:

- [1] Remove unneeded call to fetch network info on shutdown - arosen
- [2] remove unneeded call to network_api on detach_interface - arosen
- [3] remove unneeded call to network_api on rebuild_instance - arosen
- [4] Optimize validate_networks to query neutron only when needed - arosen
- [5] deallocate_for_instance should delete all neutron ports on error - arosen
- [6] Fix port_security_enabled neutron extension - arosen
- [7] Fix pre-created ports in neutron from being deleted by nova - arosen

Nova Parity (beagles)

(updated March 24, 2014)

Resurrected issues mentioned reported last week:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269060 Calls to get_fixed_ip are not implemented when using neutron.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269061 Calls to get_vifs_by_instance are not implemented when using neutron.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1269062 Call to get_vif_by_mac_address is not implemented when using neutron.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1293539 NeutronV2 API is missing associate method.

An issue that just showed up on my radar is also parity related:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1274034 Neutron firewall anti-spoofing does not prevent ARP poisoning

Nachi Ueno's work while parity related is also pretty key for Icehouse:
