Hi Forrest,
Did you mean Network team has plan to commit this feature for Stx.3.0?
If so, are we going forward with this spec/patch:
https://review.opendev.org/655830, in which the last comment was made on May 5th?
Regards,
Yong

Hi Bruce and TSC reviewers,
Here are intents of “containerize OVS DPDK”,
1. As StarlingX moves to containerization, most OpenStack components have been containerized. That includes OVS containerization, but OVS-DPDK is still running on host. It’s better
to containerize OVS/DPDK as well, to leverage benefits brought by containerization.
2. Currently, StarlingX supports OVS and OVS-DPDK. OVS is managed by openstack-helm, and running in container. But OVS-DPDK is managed by puppet and run directly on the host. Maintaining
two implements and keeping them consistent cost more resources than maintaining just one implement. For example. If we want to make some changes(upgrade OVS version, enable some features), we need the changes at two places. It introduces much more upgrade/maintenance
costs. “Containerize OVS DPDK” can eliminate such duplication and inconsistency.
Thanks,
Forrest
Here is a list of StarlingX 3.0 features that our team plans to work on. I would like to ask the TSC to please review the “Not yet discussed” features before closing on the 3.0 feature list. Thank you!

Most work is validation, new features are integrated as we adopt newer kernels over time. Real time features for industrial use cases are going into 5.x kernels and may (or may not) be back-portable. |
