Current Series Release Notes

23.0.0-28

New Features

• The nova::compute::libvirt::services now installs the OVMF package to allow UEFI boot of instances. The package installation can be disabled by setting the manage_ovmf parameter.

• The new nova::compute::libvirt::num_volume_scan_tries parameter has been added.

• The new nova::compute::pci::report_in_placement parameter has been added.

• The new nova::compute::reserved_host_cpus parameter has been added.

• The nova::compute::libvirt::services class now installs the swtpm package by default. To disable the package installation, use the manage_swtpm parameter.

Upgrade Notes

• The [libvirt] cpu_mode option is set to host-model by default when qemu virt type is used, which is consistent with the default selected by nova. Set the nova::compute::libvirt::cpu_mode parameter to use a different mode such as the previous default (none).

• The nova::api::nova_metadata_wsgi_enabled parameter has no effect now. When nova API service is deployed using httpd and mod_wsgi, nova-api service is no longer started. Use httpd + mod_wsgi to run metadata api.

• The nova::upgrade_level_cert parameter has been removed.

Deprecation Notes

• The nova::compute::config_drive_format parameter has been deprecated, because the config_drive_format option in nova has been deprecated.
