RHBA-2020:3569 - Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1 bug fix and enhancement advisory

Synopsis

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1 bug fix and enhancement advisory

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Updated packages that resolve various issues are now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1 (Train) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.2.

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.

Changes to the openstack-neutron component:

  • In the first maintenance release of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1 there is support for routed provider networks using the ML2/OVS and SR-IOV mechanism drivers.

You can use a routed provider network to enable a single provider network to represent multiple layer 2 networks (broadcast domains) or segments so that the operator can present only one network to users. This is a common network type in edge DCN and spine-leaf routed data center deployments.

For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/16.1/html-single/networking_guide/index#deploy-routed-prov-networks. (BZ#1671811)

Changes to the openstack-octavia component:

  • In Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1, the Open Virtual Network (OVN) provider driver for the Load-balancing service (octavia) is in technology preview. (BZ#1676631)

  • In Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1, the Load-balancing service (Octavia) has a technology preview for UDP protocol. (BZ#1801721)
