Pike Series Release Notes

16.0.29

New Features

  • Horizon has, since OSA’s inception, been deployed with HTTPS access enabled, and has had no way to turn it off. Some use-cases may want to access via HTTP instead, so this patch enables the following.

    • Listen via HTTPS on a load balancer, but via HTTP on the horizon host and have the load balancer forward the correct headers. It will do this by default in the integrated build due to the presence of the load balancer, so the current behaviour is retained.

    • Enable HTTPS on the horizon host without a load balancer. This is the role’s default behaviour which matches what it always has been.

    • Disable HTTPS entirely by setting haproxy_ssl: no (which will also disable https on haproxy. This setting is inherited by the new horizon_enable_ssl variable by default. This is a new option.

Bug Fixes

  • Download and install the neutron-fwaas-dashboard if being enabled within the os_horizon role by the horizon_enable_neutron_fwaas var.

16.0.0

New Features

  • Capping the default value for the variables horizon_wsgi_processes and horizon_wsgi_threads to 16 when the user doesn’t configure these variables. Default value is half the number of vCPUs available on the machine with a capping value of 16.

  • It’s now possible to disable heat stack password field in horizon. horizon_enable_heatstack_user_pass variable has been added and default to True.

  • The horizon_images_allow_location variable is added to support the IMAGES_ALLOW_LOCATION setting in the horizon_local_settings.py file to allow to specify and external location during the image creation.

  • You can force update the translations direct from Zanata by setting horizon_translations_update to True. This will call the pull_catalog option built into horizon-manage.py. You should only use this when testing translations, otherwise this should remain set to the default of False.
