Scope of OpenSDN for first release

[randybias]

Here's an initial list of the roadmap requirements for rel1:

• [x] Python 3 only; no Py2 left
• [x] Security updates and patches
  • PARTIAL
• [x] Ubuntu 20.xx, 22.xx, Rocky9
• [x] Vanilla kolla-ansible for deployments
• [x] New versions of OpenStack support
• [x] Build system updates
• [x] Doxygen docs
• [x] Larger scale and more comprehensive testing
• [x] Cassandra moved to CQL (Python 3 support)
• [x] VxLAN updates
• [x] IPv6 updates for NAT66, Metadata6, and more

Stretch Goals:

• [ ] DPDK testing and DPU support for latest OpenSDN, CloudStack (?) and OpenStack
• [x] Support for CloudStack, especially in the build system [this might need to move to rel2 --Randy]

Release Process:

• Create a branch from master for 24.1 (freeze)
• Cherry pick down from master any fixes for 24.1 during 30 days test period
• At release date (August 26th 2024) tag 24.1 from release branch as initial release
  • rc-24.1-1, rc-24.1-2 -> 24.1 <- final release
  • If there are security fixes in the branch, we can release 24.1.1, 24.1.2, etc...
• This process constitutes a breaking change to the past manner we handled release numbers
• The 24.1 final release is what gets pushed as build to dockerhub

@randybias , can you add the new VxLAN & new Metadata6 to the list? They are almost ready.

[randybias]

Yes.

@Andrey-mp how are we doing on this list from your perspective? Particularly Py3?

[Andrey-mp]

@randybias I've added "vanilla kolla-ansible" and "new versions of openstack" now. Py3 - I'm not sure. It looks as a small part left but I can't be sure that next week we will finish it.
