Here's placement update 19-36. There won't be one next week, I will be away. Because of my forthcoming "less time available for OpenStack" I will also be stopping these updates at some point in the next month or so so I can focus the limited time I will have on reviewing and coding. There will be at least one more.
Most Important
The big news this week is that after returning from a trip (that meant he was away during the nomination period) Tetsuro has stepped up to be the PTL for placement in Ussuri. Thanks very much to him for taking this up, I'm sure he will be excellent.
We need to work on useful documentation for the features developed this cycle.
I've also made a now worklist in StoryBoard to draw attention to placement project stories that are relevant to the next few weeks, making it easier to ignore those that are not relevant now, but may be later.
Stories/Bugs
(Numbers in () are the change since the last pupdate.)
There are 23 (-1) stories in the placement group. 0 (0) are untagged. 5 (0) are bugs. 4 (0) are cleanups. 10 (-1) are rfes. 5 (1) are docs.
If you're interested in helping out with placement, those stories are good places to look.

osc-placement
- https://review.opendev.org/666542 Add support for multiple member_of. There's been some useful discussion about how to achieve this, and a consensus has emerged on how to get the best results.
Main Themes
Consumer Types
Adding a type to consumers will allow them to be grouped for various purposes, including quota accounting.
- https://review.opendev.org/#/q/topic:bp/support-consumer-types This has some good comments on it from melwitt. I'm going to be away next week, so if someone else would like to address them that would be great. If it is deemed fit to merge, we should, despite feature freeze passing, since we haven't had much churn lately. If it doesn't make it in Train, that's fine too. The goal is to have it ready for Nova in Ussuri as early as possible.
Cleanup
Cleanup is an overarching theme related to improving documentation, performance and the maintainability of the code. The changes we are making this cycle are fairly complex to use and are fairly complex to write, so it is good that we're going to have plenty of time to clean and clarify all these things.
Performance related explorations continue:
- https://review.opendev.org/#/c/679385/ Refactor initialization of research context. This puts the code that might cause an exit earlier in the process so we can avoid useless work.
One outcome of the performance work needs to be something like a Deployment Considerations document to help people choose how to tweak their placement deployment to match their needs. The simple answer is use more web servers and more database servers, but that's often very wasteful.
- https://review.opendev.org/#/q/owner:"Chris+Dent+%253Ccdent%2540anticdent.org%253E"+topic:build-pdf-docs These are the patches for meeting the build pdf docs goal for the various placement projects.
Other Placement
Miscellaneous changes can be found in the usual place.
There are three os-traits changes being discussed. And two os-resource-classes changes. The latter are docs-related.
Other Service Users
New reviews are added to the end of the list. Reviews that haven't had attention in a long time (boo!) or have merged or approved (yay!) are removed.
