RHBA-2020:4397 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Networking packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13.0 (Queens) for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (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 component:

This enhancement adds a new configuration option to the Networking (neutron) service, "http_retries", which you can use to configure the number of times API calls to the Compute (nova) service or OpenStack Bare Metal Provisioning (ironic) service should be retried if the first attempt fails. By default, the API calls are retried 3 times in case of failure.

With this enhancement, the Networking service can retry API requests to prevent errors in booting instances, for example, to ensure that the Compute service receives notification that a port is ready for use. (BZ#1845802)

Solution

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