Current OpenStack baseline is Train (since Baraque)

The aim is to move to a newer release - Wallaby

• New features and functionality
• Important new requirements to deliver on
  • HW acceleration
    • Cyborg added a lot of new functionality since Train including a new v2 API that's not complete in Train
  • Edge requirements
  • Security
  • LCM
• Extended maintenance phase for Train
• Functest is ready to support the latest releases which can help cover testing in Anuket
• OS support
  • Red Hat OSP 19 LTS will be on Wallaby
  • Canonical - Ubuntu 22.04 will be Xena
• Airship
  • installer with manifest files that can be recreated based on the docs in Airship to cover newer OpenStack releases than Train
    • needs to be done by Anuket contributors
    • alignment with Airship team in Anuket is needed
• Concerns
  • Jumping multiple releases? Migration?
    • OpenStack has a support for fast-forward upgrades to move ahead with multiple releases
    • A lot of effort going into backward compatibility
  • Need to define an MVP?
    • For OpenStack, RA1 only specifies a minimal set of services – a subset of OpenStack services
  • Is it doable for RI for the Lakelse release?
    • RA1 is developed as a spec that RI will follow in the a release after Lakelse
• No objections from the people on the call!

Outcome - Suggestion is to move to OpenStack Wallaby

Action Items

• Lakelse RA1 scope: upgrade specifications to OpenStack Wallaby release
