- Build
      - Nothing to report. Builds are setup to run on-demand, so need to request a build from Scott/Davlet if there are any new merges in the r/stx.7.0 branch.
      - One build was issued on Aug 18 to address an issue w/ helm chart generation. There were no functional changes.
          - http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/rc/7.0/centos/flock/20220818T132617Z/

      - Sanity on r/stx.7.0
          - r/stx.7.0 sanity was successful on Aug 9: https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2022-August/013246.html
                 - Note email title is incorrect; it mentions "Master" instead of "stx.7.0"
          - There has been no functional changes since then, but one build was issued to correct helm charts.
      - Sanity on r/stx.7.0 w/ stx-openstack
          - Team still working thru internal env issues. Forecast: Aug 31
          - A fix will be needed for https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1970645
      - Another sanity execution will be needed once the above LP is addressed.
      - Note: Sanity for r/stx.7.0 is focused on CentOS builds. There are no plans to do Debian sanity for r/stx.7.0. A Debian rc build is available though for experimental purposes.

          - Issue was reproduced when running experimental sanity. Fixes are in progress. Forecast: Aug 26
          - Note: cherry-pick and rebuild of r/stx.7.0 will be required.
          - Action: Thales to send a request for the build and sanity once the fix is available in the r/stx.7.0 branch.

          - Fixes need to go in the stx main branch first and then cherrypicked to the r/stx.7.0 branch
