[Starlingx-discuss] Questions related to Startlingx & Openstack
Hello, First of all, I would like to say thank you very much for your effort in this amazing project, and congratulations for being a top-level project at Openstack Foundation. I have been testing StarlingX for 5 days now and wanted to ask / specify some questions of mine related to Starlingx in general and Openstack deployment on it in particular. StarlingX: 1. I know that the 4th release is upcoming in July. Also, from what I've heard in StarlingX irc channel, you can't upgrade from version 3 to version 4. Thus, I am wondering if I deploy the 4th version, would I be able to upgrade it in the future with up-to-date releases? 2. I really enjoy StarlingX management UI. However, I can see that it's not fully-functional yet. I am wondering, if Host Inventory will be upgraded so the host can be added via UI? Is Software Management can be used for patching anything within infrastructure and StarlingX related? 3. Since Kubernetes is using docker, and docker is highly dependent on Linux kernel; and as far as I know, it is the best practice to use newer versions of kernel with docker, do you have any plans of upgrading kernel version til 5.x version? Openstack: 1. I've been working a lot with Mirantis MOSK (Openstack on Kubernetes) https://docs.mirantis.com/mosk/beta/index.html & https://github.com/Mirantis/release-openstack-k8s ; which uses operator's mechanism for both openstack and ceph. Their package is very nice, still in beta though, but it is consuming a lot more resources compared to Starlingx package. However, mosk provides designate/octavia/cells2 services by default. Thus, I am wondering if the StarlingX Openstack package can offer additional services deployment if required, like octavia or magnum? 2. In documentation it is specified that having an additional disk for Openstack nova-local ephemeral images is a good practice. However, I could not figure out how to use a separate disk for that since it's not specified anywhere in the docs. Default procedure is to use a root disk (screenshot: https://prnt.sc/t1fqwr). Therefore, how can I use a separate disk for nova-local images and avoid having those errors in openstack when I am creating an instance without volume (screenshot: https://prnt.sc/t1fs41). 3. I had a similar issue at the start https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1867731 ; However, I am a bit confused why you would use services externally, using external FQDN, while you use horizon. When setup external dns for openstack services and open horizon UI, it works very slowly. If you create volume in horizon and create volume using internal CLI, its totally different speeds but it should not be like that. I am wondering, if Horizon can be used while all the services will be connected and used internally? That is what I can see using MOSK, and Horizon UI of theirs is working very fast. 4. I think you are aware of it, but you can't upload images (glance sends python errors) using horizon ui therefore, only internal CLI can be used for that. 5. I would really appreciate if you can help me with troubleshooting this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1883911 Thank you very much and regards
