Current Series Release Notes

20.0.0-71

New Features

  • Adds support for configuring Dell Enterprise SONiC switches using sonic-cli, via the dellemc.enterprise_sonic Ansible collection. This is integrated into the kayobe physical network configure command.

  • Adds support for QoS egress/ingress settings in systemd-networkd for Debian-family distributions. Use ingress_qos_map and egress_qos_map variables to configure QoS maps for incoming and outgoing packets respectively.

  • Adds the --install-only and --no-install command line options to kayobe control host bootstrap. In install-only mode, only the dependencies are installed, but the rest of the host configuration is skipped. In no-install mode, install is skipped, but the rest of the tasks are executed.

  • Adds support for Cisco NX-OS switches in the Neutron genericswitch ML2 mechanism driver configuration generated from kolla_neutron_ml2_generic_switch_hosts. Set switch_type to cisco-nxos to use the netmiko_cisco_nxos device type.

  • The nmstate network engine now supports Ansible check and diff modes. Running for example kayobe overcloud host configure --check --diff reports whether network changes are required and shows the computed differences without modifying the host.

  • Adds support for configuring hostnames via Kayobe. This is disabled by default; it can be enabled by setting kayobe_customize_hostnames to true. By default, Kayobe will use the Ansible inventory hostname. This can be overriden by setting kayobe_custom_hostname.

  • Adds support for updating cache during host package update on all supported systems.

Upgrade Notes

  • Updates the maximum supported version of Ansible from 13 (ansible-core 2.20) to 14 (ansible-core 2.21). The minimum supported version is updated from 12.x to 13.x. This is true for both Kayobe and Kolla Ansible.

  • Removed the deprecated options --kolla-tags and kolla-limit from all commands.

  • Enables systemd-resolved on Ubuntu hosts.

  • Removes the deprecated configuration variable external_net_name. Users should use external_net_names instead.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes an error in the manage-containers role that occurred when running kayobe overcloud service reconfigure. LP#2160941

  • Fixes an issue where seed service deployment could fail with a DiscoveryFailure error when an HTTP proxy is configured. The seed’s provisioning IP address is now included in the default no_proxy list, preventing the proxy from intercepting requests to seed services such as Ironic. LP#2154438

  • Fixes displaying the error when a failure to retrieve an inspection rule occurs. LP#2162058

  • Resolves an issue that prevented Arista switch interface configuration from being applied. LP#2162130

  • Fixes Bifrost deployment by ensuring that extra kernel parameters are successfully parsed by Ironic. LP#2162755

  • Bumps the stackhpc.openstack collection to version 0.10.2. This fixes a broken conditional causing IPA and overcloud image build failures when ALLOW_BROKEN_CONDITIONALS is disabled. LP#2157021

  • Fixes an issue where kayobe configuration dump would fail with ansible-core 2.19 or later. Variables that reference hostvars or undefined variables are now resolved correctly, and variables that cannot be resolved are included in the dump in their raw form. LP#2166964

  • Fixes paths to EPEL repositories on Rocky Linux. Previously, they were only using the major version $releasever which could point to an incompatible repository. They now use both major and minor versions, e.g. 10.2 instead of 10. There is no change on CentOS Stream which uses only the major version. LP#2156407

  • Fixes the nmstate network engine when cloud-init creates a NetworkManager connection whose profile ID differs from the interface name (LP#2165006). Firewalld zone synchronisation now resolves the active profile from the interface before reading or updating its connection zone.

  • Fix all hostnames in a group being merged into a single line in the kolla overcloud hosts inventory file. LP#2158773

  • Fixes a bug where the httpd image does not get built with kayobe overcloud container image build. LP#2161615

    This image was introduced in Kolla from change 954707.

    The httpd image will be built by default when any of following variables are set to true:

    • kolla_enable_ironic

    • kolla_enable_keystone

    • kolla_enable_letsencrypt

  • The nmstate network engine reported changed on every run for hosts whose runtime state contains volatile data (for example Linux bridges, whose bridge ageing timers such as gc-timer change over time), because it compared full libnmstate.show() snapshots taken before and after applying the state. Change detection now uses libnmstate.generate_differences(), which only compares the desired state against the runtime state. LP#2164642

  • Optimize network connectivity check by mapping of network name to hosts on that network only once per play, instead of once per host.

  • Fixes a bug found when trying to assign a multi-word description to a Dell OS switch with kayobe physical network configure. LP#2161899
