qiujuntinghi ruifaling07:04
qiujuntinghi tosky07:04
ruifalinghello07:05
toskyhi07:05
qiujuntingWhat are your issues?07:06
qiujuntingwe can discuss07:07
toskyoh, is the PTG discussion now? Please use UTC times when sending official emails07:08
qiujuntingyes07:09
qiujuntingI seem to have missed the official PTG time appointment07:10
toskyagain, please use UTC time, this is 07.00 UTC, while http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-October/025407.html talks about 3.00 PM07:10
toskyand yes, this meeting is not officially part of the PTG, as the schedule for the PTG was closed long ago07:11
toskywe can still use this is a normal meeting07:11
toskybut then I'd suggest the usage of the meeting bot to record this07:12
qiujuntingyes, we continue to discuss here。07:12
qiujuntingOK07:12
qiujunting At present,faling and I are not familiar with the process of community PTG meeting, you can help organize it, thank you.07:14
qiujuntingShall we discuss the plan for the Sahara yoga version?07:16
toskyit's too late for an "official" PTG meeting, but next time please keep an eye on the openstack-discuss@ mailing list, all the deadlines are announced there07:17
toskyI'm going to start the bot to record this as usual sahara meeting, if you want to have more information about the meeting bot please check https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ChairaMeeting07:18

toskywelcome to the meeting! qiujunting, can you please ask again your last question ?07:20
qiujuntingCan you introduce the organization process of the regular project meeting?07:24
qiujuntingConsider the regular meeting of the Sahara project07:25
qiujuntingtosky:07:27
toskynormal IRC meetings are more or less the same, and described here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/ChairaMeeting07:28
toskyyou go through the points on your agenda one by one07:28
qiujuntingok, thanks07:29
qiujuntingI have a point that saharaahara support the creating the instance by specifying system volumes.07:30
qiujunting I have a point that sahara support the creating the instance by specifying system volumes.07:30
qiujuntingThe VM instance boot by a volume.07:31
ruifalingAn existing volume ?07:31
qiujuntingyes07:32
ruifalingso you mean  there are some volumes has been created,then we lanch a cluster by those volumes ?07:33
qiujuntingFirst create the boot volume of the VM instance, and specify the volume boot VM instance.07:33
qiujuntingyes07:33
toskybut sahara supports boot from volume, as far as I remember07:34
qiujuntingThis can reduce the time it takes for Sahara to deploy the cluster.07:35
ruifalingyes,07:35
toskyit was added here: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/200182007:35
toskyoh, do you mean having sahara deploy on VMs which are already running?07:35
qiujuntingNo, I mean it is faster for nova to start the virtual machine with volume, and Sahara can assign this volume to nova.07:39
toskybut sahara doesn't start the volume, sahara asks nova to start virtual machines07:39
toskyand sahara supports boot from volume, which was described by https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/sahara-specs/specs/backlog/boot-from-volume.html07:40
toskythat document is in the "backlog" section but it was implemented by https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/200182007:40
toskyhow does your proposal differ from that?07:40
qiujuntingI mean like this:https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/sahara-specs/specs/backlog/boot-from-volume.html07:44
qiujuntingsahara has been suuported this ?07:45
toskyyes, please see the commits referenced by https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/200182007:46
ruifalingso the other topic to discussion in qiu's email is :Sahara deploys a dedicated cluster through cloud host VM tools (qemu-guest-agent)07:55
ruifalingmaybe it means using QGA to deploy clusters07:57
opendevreviewIan Wienand proposed openstack/openstack-ansible-os_sahara stable/stein: Remove debian-stable jobs  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstack-ansible-os_sahara/+/81434907:57
toskycan you please explain this point a bit more?08:00
ruifalingIn the current version, the script is executed by Sahara through SSH to the VM08:02
ruifalingIt rely on the external networks08:03
toskyor even internal network, but yes, that's correct, the controller should be able to reach the VMs through some network08:05
ruifalingUse qga to execute the script  could weakening the dependence on  network08:06
toskybut this means a tight dependency between sahara and the instances08:06
ruifalingyes08:07
toskysahara doesn't know about the way instances are managed, it would go against being an abstraction layer08:07
toskyalso, nova can support multiple ways of deployments08:07
toskyand that wouldn't work with baremetal instances of course08:08
ruifalingoh yes,BM,may be distinguish between virtual machines and bare metal machines08:11
toskybut again, you would also need to access the hypervisor, and that solution would be targeted to a specific hypervisor08:12
toskymoreover, the virtual machines requires to have a network anyway, because the hadoop services on the cluster need to talk to each other08:15
qiujuntingyes, before we need the falt network, by08:16
qiujuntingby qga, we need not network must be flat network.08:17
ruifalingthe controller reach to the vms not very necessary08:18
toskybut it's the only way to not break the abstraction 08:20
toskyyou don't need the network to be a flat one, because you can configure the access though a specific node using the proxy settings08:21
toskyhttps://docs.openstack.org/sahara/latest/admin/advanced-configuration-guide.html#custom-network-topologies08:21
toskyyou can set up a "jumphost" which can be reached by the controllers, and that can reach the instances08:24
ruifalingok,I understand ,thank you,tosky08:38
toskyqiujunting: is there any other topic before closing?08:54
qiujuntingno, thank you tosky08:55
toskyfor example, do you have a plan about which backends should be kept and updated and which ones should be dropped?08:55
toskysorry, plugins - I suspect some of them may not work anymore, especially ambari and cdh, given the recent changes in Cloudera08:55
toskyand the vanilla one is very outdated08:55
toskydo you plan any work on updating them?08:55
qiujuntingIf possible, consider updating them in the yoga version.08:57
qiujuntingYou can introduce the plan in detail.08:58
qiujuntingWe can communicate by email08:59
toskyI don't have a plan because my time on sahara is limited, I can help with revisions09:05
toskybut right now the supported plugins are not really useful for the users09:05
toskyso if you want to use it, you may be interested in updating them as well09:05
toskyanything else? Can I close the meeting?09:06
tosky(please note that I set you both as chair for this specific meeting with the command #chair , so anyone of us can close the meeting with #endmeeting )09:06
toskyqiujunting, ruifaling ^09:08
ruifalingok,thank you very much09:09
ruifalingbye09:09
toskythank you all09:09
