RHBA-2019:0932 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Networking packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13.0 (Queens) for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building, deploying
and monitoring a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Networking service

OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a virtual network service for OpenStack.
Just as OpenStack Compute (nova) provides an API to dynamically request and
configure virtual servers, OpenStack Networking provides an API to
dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect
'interfaces' from other OpenStack services (e.g. virtual NICs from Compute
VMs). The OpenStack Networking API supports extensions to provide advanced
network capabilities (e.g. QoS, ACLs, network monitoring, etc.)

Changes to the openstack-neutron-lbaas component:

• Previously, configuration values with empty strings were not passed to Octavia in the `lbaasv2-proxy` plugin. As a result, when using the `lbaasv2-proxy` plugin, a loadbalancer update with an empty description produced an `ERROR` provisioning status.

With this update, configuration values with empty strings are passed to Octavia and the provisioning status of loadbalancers with empty descriptions becomes `ACTIVE`. (BZ#1685558)

Solution

Before applying this update, ensure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6.

• An explanation of the way in which the provided components interact to

form a working cloud computing environment.

• Technology Previews, Recommended Practices, and Known Issues.
• The channels required for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13, including which
