    out-of-tree kernel drivers are not included yet - need to check and see how many drivers need to be upgraded. 
    Saul comments: Dean mentioned yesterday, general Openstack enablement in CentOS 7.6 with RPMs. no validated CentOS with Openstack yet. May need to verify if CentOS 7.6 + Vanilla Openstack work or not, before we port any additional patch.

    3. Ceph upgrade status (Vivian/Dehao/Changcheng)
Dean merged all the build process patche (on staging stx-ceph and 
Changcheng finish rebasing all patches according to latest stx-ceph (stx/v13.2.2). totally 17 PRs

Submitted 2 PR to staging. Dean reviewed them and merged stx/v13.2.2 branch. Those PR has no impact to other stx module. Current base build is still using the master branch. Other 4 patches are in openStack gerrit review. 

Image has been build based on the current patch porting. Still cannot work as expected. still working w/ WR to debug the problem under StarlingX system. Ovidiu is working w/ Changcheng to debug the issue. @Changcheng, Please continue work with Ovidiu to debug the issues. 
Changcheng/Dehao: 1st priority will need to make dedicated storage working w/ new Ceph. 

Once Ceph is working w/ dedicated storage on controller-config, Frank would like to try the containers. all-in-one simplex already working, dedicated storage is working but not stable. @Mingyuan will help to try Simplex first and then dedicated storage w/ old Ceph.
