Ocata Series Release Notes¶

15.1.21-12¶

The distribution package lookup and data output has been removed from the py_pkgs lookup so that the repo-build use of py_pkgs has reduced output and the lookup is purpose specific for python packages only.

The config_template template module now supports writing out valueless INI options without suffixing them with ‘=’ or ‘:’. This is done via the ‘ignore_none_type’ attribute. If ignore_none_type is set to true, these key/value entries will be ignored, if it’s set to false, then ConfigTemplateParser will write out only the option name without the ‘=’ or ‘:’ suffix. The default is true.

The default behaviour of ensure_endpoint in the keystone module has changed to update an existing endpoint, if one exists that matches the service name, type, region and interface. This ensures that no duplicate service entries can exist per region.

The deployer can now define an environment variable GROUP_VARS_PATH with the folders of its choice (separated by the colon sign) to define an user space group_vars folder. These vars will apply but be (currently) overriden by the OpenStack-Ansible default group vars, by the set facts, and by the user_* variables. If the deployer defines multiple paths, the variables found are merged, and precedence is increasing from left to right (the last defined in GROUP_VARS_PATH wins)

The deployer can now define an environment variable HOST_VARS_PATH with the folders of its choice (separated by the colon sign) to define an user space host_vars folder. These vars will apply but be (currently) overriden by the OpenStack-Ansible default host vars, by the set facts, and by the user_* variables. If the deployer defines multiple paths, the variables found are merged, and precedence is increasing from left to right (the last defined in HOST_VARS_PATH wins)

The update state for the ensure_endpoint method of the keystone module is now deprecated, and will be removed in the Queens cycle. Setting state to present will achieve the same result.

Add get_networks command to the neutron library. This will return network information for all networks, and fail if the specified net_name network is not present. If no net_name is specified network information will for all networks will be returned without performing a check on an existing net_name network.

The new provider network attribute sriov_host_interfaces is added to support SR-IOV network mappings inside Neutron. The provider_network adds new items network_sriov_mappings and network_sriov_mappings_list to the provider_networks dictionary. Multiple interfaces can be defined by comma separation.

The glance library has been removed from OpenStack-Ansible’s plugins. Upstream Ansible modules for managing OpenStack image resources should be used instead.
