* puck pours himself a glass of wine while waiting to see who else shows up06:57
tobberydbergMorning! Good choice :-) 07:00
* fkr sips on a coffee still being on vacation :)07:00
fkrsips a coffee?07:00
puck"sips a coffee"07:00
puck"sucks on an iceblock"07:00
tobberydbergThat also sound nice :-) 07:01
fkrgood morning / good evening nevertheless!07:01
tobberydbergBack from vacation monday and trying to get up to speed again :-) 07:01
fkrwohoo07:01
fkrwe had to come home 10 days early from vacation (camping) because our son got really sick (again)07:02
fkrthird ear-infection in three months. now removal of the polyps is scheduled.07:02
puckOh no!07:02
puckMy now 13yo had them removed when he was much younger.07:02
tobberydbergSorry to hear that. Hope he gets ok soon07:03
fkrthanks. I also had them removed at his age, seems fairly common source of these problems.07:03
fkrslowly switching towards IT subjects, the hashicorp BSL thingy seems to go through the roof07:04
tobberydbergYea, one of my daughters did that at early age as well 07:05
tobberydbergNot up to speed regading that BSL thing to be honest...07:05
puckOh, yeah, HashiCorp is ... wow.07:05
fkrand once again shows how important projects such as OpenStack and alike are (that are not single-vendor governed by a VC-funded company)07:05
puckWhich reminds, I need to see what if anything is happening with Barbican using Vault as a storage backend.07:05
puckTotally agreed.07:05
fkrtobberydberg: Hashicorp relicenses their projects from MPL to Business Source Licsense (BSL)07:06
fkrhttps://opentf.org/ being one of the results07:06
tobberydbergterrific...07:07
fkrthey should've just switched to AGPLv3 with the option of dual-licensing, that would've had a similar effect for them without the side-effects for the rest of the community07:07
puckOh, I think VC funding is what caused this switch.07:08
puck"How we do increase our value? Make almost all businesses using our software need to pay us"07:08
tobberydbergI guess SCS have started to evaluate what effect that will have for them07:11
fkrindeed07:11
puckI really don't want to have to deal with HSM hardware again.07:12
fkrbeing on vacation I did not participate in any thoughts there yet, but I did read our matrix-rooms and also BSL is not acceptable, since it is not OSI-approved license AND it clearly shows how dependent one is from HCP regarding their mood ;)07:12
fkrpuck: --verbose07:12
fkrhey joek-office! o/07:13
joek-officehey fkr07:13
puckI've used PCI based HSMs before, a colleague accidentally bricked one - an expensive mistake. :) The IBM (yes a while go) firmware update software thought it was an IBM device and shoved a firmware on it.07:14
tobberydbergWe have plenty of customers that does not accept BSL as well ... will probably be a lot of discussions here moving forward...07:14
tobberydbergwelcome joek-office :-) 07:15
puckI had a look just before, we have no agenda. Do we want to quickly hash one together, or just have a general chit-chat? I suspect y'all are still in vacation mode (especially fkr)07:17
joek-officehello together07:17
fkrpuck: I do have one item that came up shortly before my vacation07:18
tobberydbergThe latter works for me.... Not fully back on track here :-) 07:19
tobberydbergShoot fkr :-) 07:19
fkrOVS vs. OVN. I do presume you all are on OVS?07:19
puckWe're on OVS07:19
joek-officewe plan direct to deploy ovn07:19
puckPlanning to transition from VLAN to VXLAN.07:20
joek-office@puck with ovs?07:20
fkra few weeks ago there was a call for help for VPNaaS and OVN (which I think, is an interesting piece of functionality for CSPs)07:20
puckWith OVS, yeah.07:20
tobberydbergOVS here as well07:21
puckWasn't there a bit of chatter about VPNaaS+OVN on openstack-discuss recently? Or was that the call for help?07:21
fkrpuck: exactly07:21
tobberydbergyes, that is one of the features that are missing to perform a transformation07:21
fkr"Subject: [neutron][vpnaas][ovn] Pushing VPNaaS support through OVN"07:21
puckYup, found it07:22
fkrand even though OVN is the default for SCS environments, there are quite a few earlier OSISM based deployments running with OVS so that migration from OVS to OVN is a subject in our community07:22
puckOnly been being worked on since late 2020. :)07:22
fkrand I assume quite a few of the "old school" OpenStack CSPs have OVS -> OVN on their road still ahead of them07:23
tobberydbergRegarding features .... what does SCS sees as missing pieces in OVN except the VPN part?07:23
puckYup. We'll consider it eventually, but not ready to think about the transition yet.07:23
fkrtobberydberg: not really much, I think there are a few pieces in regard to OVN and octavia07:24
puckIt looks like this patchset has been getting some decent recent action.07:24
tobberydbergYea, remember that was a topic during the PTG earlier this year 07:25
joek-office@tobbberydberg: is there a board with such open items 07:28
tobberydbergI'm trying to find that, because I believe I've seen that before....07:29
joek-office:-D07:29
fkri'll be joining the family downstairs for breakfast. enjoy the wednesday, puck: enjoy the wine ;)07:30
tobberydberghttps://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/ovn/gaps.html07:31
tobberydbergNot sure how up to date this one is though...I've seen some other mapping thing earlier I know that I can't find now07:31
tobberydbergEnjoy the rest of the vacation :-) 07:31
fkrthanks!07:31
puckfkr, hope you have have a great day and rest of your vacation07:32
puckHmmm, although VPNaaS is missing from that page.07:34
joek-officebye fkr, have a nice breakfast.07:35
joek-officethe page is last updated 2020. seems outdated. 07:35
puckHeh, so it is07:36
joek-officethe guys from the discuss list have done the proposed work. the patches was reviewed.07:36
tobberydbergYea... Can't find the page I'm looking for...07:37
tobberydbergMissing reviewers approval what I can see, but active discussions and patches during summer 07:40
joek-officewas to fast. only on patch 847007 there is review. on 765353 there was a bit of work done. Looks like bugfixing. 07:42
puckAlso, you folks might be interested that media in NZ is starting to question the use of the big US clouds for our govt's workloads: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/495883/growing-government-reliance-on-offshore-cloud-services-has-security-experts-worried07:43
joek-officeis the old question self or outsourcing. problem in my mind that i see: everyone see the money savings. no one sees the costs that are upscaling because you need knowledge inhouse about what your provider does.07:49
puckAh, but consultants. Then the consultants leave, and you need new consultants if you change anything. :)07:49
joek-officeyes, this is also a problem in the momentary big discussion in germany with digitalisation. 07:50
puckHeh07:50
puckI can believe that.07:50
joek-officeany one is saying an excel sheet is not good digitalisation (this is right). but a excel is easy to use for everyone. and changes in processes can be ultra fast achieved with excel sheet without specialists07:51
puckHeh, yes indeed. And then they start to use it as a database (or possibly worse, Access). :)07:52
joek-officeand the processes that are designed from consultants and implemented with specialized software are normaly work in progress. but the guys that can change them are only for a small time range (project) in the company07:53
puckyup07:53
joek-officethink this problem also present on most company that use openstack. is this so. is there any data there? In the next time is the openstack survey and there can be inserted questions.07:56
joek-office;-)07:56
puckHmmm...  Yes and no. :)07:58
tobberydbergSorry ... got pulled  away here... :-) 07:59
joek-officeWhat does this mean?08:03
joek-office@puck08:03
puckWell, I guess do you mean use openstack or deploy it? We deploy openstack, haven't used consultants much at all (only for our ISO 27001 certification really).08:04
puckThe stuff we've developed we open sourced and have made events to include in OpenStack - Adjutant and Distil mainly.08:04
pucks/events/efforts/   # I blame the wine08:05
tobberydberghttps://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Distil08:06
tobberydberg:-) 08:07
tobberydbergI haven't heard of that one earlier 08:07
puckhahahaha08:07
joek-officeI mean deploy and mainly operate it inhouse. think many company only use openstack. deployed from a third party08:07
puckOh, and right, and a bunch of them will have used the "turn key" deployment and then have no idea how to manage it.08:07
puckhttps://opendev.org/x/distil  <- although there should be more recent updates than 3 years ago. I shall poke peopole.08:08
tobberydbergVendor installed private clouds are probably the most common 08:08
tobberydbergHehehe08:09
joek-officeis distill still in use there? 08:10
puckCatalyst Cloud is still using distil08:10
joek-officebut no further development or is this usable with currently openstack as well?08:10
puckIt should be useable with OpenStack as it stands. We certainly still have internal development, and I'm a little upset that it isn't published.08:11
puckI'm fairly sure there have been other clouds using it.08:12
tobberydbergInteresting. We currently not use ceilometer though...08:13
puckAlthough it looks like we've only made a few minor changes since.08:13
puckKinda an alternative to CloudKitty, but from memory Distil is a bit more complete.08:13
puckWe have a CSV reference driver (billing data in CSV, we've used for private clouds) and Odoo integration (which we use for production use)08:14
joek-officei think this is a fairly interesting part for many csp's. earlier this year i have tested cloudkitty with ceilometer or prometheus and in this complex i think about a tool like distill08:14
puckIt provides a billing dashboard in Horizon, and an API to query billing data and retrieve invoices.08:14
joek-officei think i will talk with my colleague about this tool is we should evaluate it.08:16
puckI can see about having current internal changes pushed upstream. There aren't that many commits.08:17
joek-officehave to go for breakfast. my wife is calling. thanks for the discussion. 08:17
pucknp, I should have some dinner.08:17
puckCatch you all in a fortnight.08:17
tobberydbergTalk you soon!08:18
puckjoek-office, if you have questions about distil feel free to ping me - but I might be a bit slow responding.08:18
joek-officebut not to forget. are there any questions interesting for the openstack survey 08:18
puckFor the current one?08:19
puckI'd better make sure we've submitted to the current one.08:20
