Current Series Release Notes

19.0.0.0rc1-53

New Features

  • Add support for easily viewing the content of kolla/passwords.yml with the new command kayobe overcloud service passwords view.

  • Allows configuring inspector_keep_ports for Bifrost via kolla_bifrost_inspector_keep_ports (defaults to present to match Bifrost).

  • Adds support for bootstrapping Python on Ubuntu through a proxy.

  • Bumps stackhpc.linux Ansible collection to v1.5.1. This adds support for configuring MIG devices without creating vGPUs.

  • Adds support for managing the Ansible control host configuration. This is provided by the new kayobe control host configure command, and uses the existing host configuration features in Kayobe.

    Also provided is a kayobe control host command run command for running commands on the Ansible control host, and a kayobe control host package update command for updating its OS packages.

  • Configure inspection network DNS servers to enable Ironic inspection when kolla_internal_fqdn is set.

Known Issues

  • NTP configuration was missing from infrastructure VMs because infra-vms was not present under the [ntp] group. Operators should ensure the most recent upstream kayobe-config is merged into their local configuration to resolve this issue.

Upgrade Notes

  • Updates the maximum supported version of Ansible from 12 (ansible-core 2.19) to 13 (ansible-core 2.20). The minimum supported version is updated from 11.x to 12.x. This is true for both Kayobe and Kolla Ansible.

  • Python 3.10 and 3.11 are no longer supported on the control host. Use Python 3.12 as a minimum version for the Kayobe virtualenv.
