Newton Series Release Notes

14.1.0

Other Notes

• Ubuntu Cloud Archive (UCA) was installed by default on repo, nova, neutron nodes, but not on the other nodes. From now on, we are using UCA everywhere to avoid dependency issues (like having virtualenv build with incompatible versions of python-cryptography). The same reasoning applies to CentOS and RDO packages.

14.0.0

New Features

• The pip_install role can now configure pip to be locked down to the repository built by OpenStack-Ansible. To enable the lockdown configuration, deployers may set pip_lock_to_internal_repo to true in /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml.

• pip can be installed via the deployment host using the new variable pip_offline_install. This can be useful in environments where the containers lack internet connectivity. Please refer to the limited connectivity installation guide for more information.

• The pip_install role now supports the ability to configure whether apt/yum tasks install the latest available package, or just ensure that the package is present. The default action is to ensure that the latest package is present. The action taken may be changed to only ensure that the package is present by setting pip_install_package_state to present.

Upgrade Notes

• The pip_install role always checks whether the latest package is installed when executed. If a deployer wishes to change the check to only validate the presence of the package, the option pip_install_package_state should be set to present.

Bug Fixes

• The pip_packages_tmp variable has been renamed pip_tmp_packages to avoid unintended processing by the py_pkgs lookup plugin.
