Hi All, Here are the results for StarlingX + STX-openstack using the 2026-09-06 build: https://mirror.starlingx.windriver.com/mirror/starlingx/master/debian/trixi… and STX-Openstack: https://mirror.starlingx.windriver.com/mirror/starlingx/master/debian/trixi… SW_VERSION="26.10" BUILD_ID="20260906T220101Z" BUILD_DATE=" 2026-09-06 22:01:01 +0000" app_name: stx-openstack app_version: 26.10-0-debian-trixie-amd64-stable-versioned build_date: 2026-09-06 12:28:37 +0000 OpenStack Deployed: stx-openstack master (trixie) Node Config: Simplex - 1 controllers + 1 workers - ipv4 with VSWITCH_TYPE=ovs Overall Sanity Results: [GREEN] Automated Test Results Summary: No software issues found. All failures are either automation/infrastructure-related or known lab-environment limitations documented below. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tempest API Tests (Upstream Tempest Smoke Suite) Runs the OpenStack community's Tempest suite as-is to certify standard API and RBAC behavior on WRO. Covers smoke Tempest version 46 was executed with the upstream smoke tag against the deployed stx-openstack APIs. Runs only the Tempest smoke suite to sanity-certify core OpenStack API behavior on WRO - a broad but shallow pass across compute, identity, network, volume, and image. Passed: 108 Failed: 2 Total Executed: 110 Failure analysis 2 failures are scenario tests that require floating IP allocation and external network connectivity network configured for floating IPs, so these tests cannot establish outbound connectivity from guest VMs. This is a lab environment limitation, not a software defect. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rally Performance Results(upstream) Runs OpenStack's Rally scenarios to certify that the standard APIs work under repeated/load conditions against SLAs. Covers Nova (boot/migrate/resize/snapshot), Cinder (volume/backup/QoS), Neutron (network/router/port CRUD), Keystone (identity/roles/tokens), Heat (stack lifecycle), and Glance (image lifecycle).Rally scenarios exercise OpenStack API performance under load using the deployed stx-openstack services. Passed: 183 Failed: 0 Total Executed: 183 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In-House Sanity Tests (Custom) Custom regression tests validating StarlingX platform and OpenStack Integration operations with active OpenStack workloads. WRO-specific tests we authored to validate value-add beyond upstream: Ceilometer and OpenStack Prometheus exporters (pod health/counts, valid exposition format, contract meters, per-VM label correctness with tenant isolation and node locality, cumulative/memory metrics, notification-agent AMQP health, and helm-override env-variable behavior), Heat orchestration end-to-end (volume create/delete, server with volume attachment, network topology), Horizon UI login over HTTPS, and Nova/Neutron server boot allocating an ACTIVE port with a fixed IP. Passed: 16 Failed: 0 Total Executed: 16 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status Color Legend: GREEN: Stable - No issues found. YELLOW: Attention - Minor/Major issues detected, no critical impact. RED: Critical - Critical issues found

[tsc][pl] Updating projects.yaml for the upcoming StarlingX TSC/PL/TL elections - ACTION NEEDED
by Ildiko Vancsa 03 Sep '26

03 Sep '26

Hi StarlingX TSC and PLs, I’m reaching out to you on behalf of the election officials[1] regarding the upcoming StarlingX TSC/PL/TL elections[2]. Among other requirements[3], the StarlingX election process requires people to be contributors to the project in order to participate. We have a script to build the list of active contributors from the past 12 months. The script has two sources to collect information: * Git repositories * ‘extra-atcs’ lists in the ‘projects.yaml’ file[4] in the governance repository As not every sub-project has git repos and not every contributor contributes code or documentation to the existing repos, __we use the 'extra-atcs’ list to capture those people who we could not identify from querying the project’s git repositories__. Project teams need to ensure that the information regarding to their project is up to date. Please review the file and make any updates as needed: - The people on that list who had left the project and not participated over the past one year should be removed. - For those who don’t have merged commits in the project’s git repository, but contributed to the project in the past 12 months: + They should be added to the file OR + The date for their entry should be updated to ’November 2027’. In addition, __please make sure that the list of git repos that are listed per sub-project in the projects.yaml file is up to date.__ Please let us know if you have any questions or need any help. I’m also happy to help anyone updating the file, if you can share the details of what changes are needed for your project team. Thanks and Best Regards, [1] https://docs.starlingx.io/election/#election-officials [2] https://docs.starlingx.io/election/#starlingx-pl-tl-and-tsc-elections-timel… [3] https://docs.starlingx.io/election/#electorate [4] https://opendev.org/starlingx/governance/src/branch/master/reference/tsc/pr…
