Agenda/Minutes are posted at: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stx-releases Release Team Meeting - Dec 16 2020 stx.5.0 - Status for Milestone-2 - Dec 18 - All current proposed specs are merged. - Current Feature Status - Feature List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JbOQELqXG_GDoP1jo6YoRDytpTkJEs89TVim... - Overall the status is acceptable with some highlighted risks: - Ceph Rook - risk due to slow review cycle - Fault Containerization - risk due to needing support for ceph-client and nfv - Release Test Status - No concerns raised from the test team regarding the release test plans - Currently working on feature test plans - Feature Testing: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jro4ItdSobB0-fseK_4cOZJHhUyuh_eCBBsD... - Test Automation Deliverables: focusing on test automation in January before regression starts - Regression to start in early Feb - From Bill: New features/specs potentially being proposed for this release - working to assign primes so we can start working on the specs - Intel Ice-Lake CPU Support - Intel Mt. Bryce eASIC / Pomona Lake Support - Intel Columbiaville NIC Support - Shared Single NIC Support - PTP Notification Enhancements - Nvidia T4 GPU Support - Note: Specs (if required) will be targeted for mid-Jan; don't expect all to require specs as some are mostly test activities. Code merge target close to the current MS-3 date w/ minor exceptions. - Reviewed with release team - no current concerns; features can proceed; release team will monitor status over the next few weeks to determine any potential risk to the overall stx.5.0 release - OS Direction given CentOS8 announcement - StarlingX has about a year to implement an alternative as CentOS8 will be EOL on Dec 31/2021. CentOS7 will be EOL on Dec 31/2024. - Next step is to focus on discussing/evaluating the technical options - Note: Multi-OS work to date has shown that swapping out the OS is a challenging task
