[Frode Nordahl]

[Impact]
This release sports mostly bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our
supported customers have access to these improvements.
The update contains the following package updates:

   * openvswitch 2.17.7

[Test Case]

The following SRU process was followed:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/StableReleaseUpdates

In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will
run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in
-proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the
proposed packages can be let into -updates.

The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the
executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until
this has happened.

[Regression Potential]
In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.

Backported the new autopkgtest from the mantic package which runs all the upstream system testsuites, and using that as one source of verification.

The afxdp tests are skipped because dependencies are not available in Jammy.
The dpdk tests are skipped because changes are needed in the upstream testsuite for them to work in the testbed.

[Frode Nordahl (fnordahl)]

In addition to the system testsuites ran in #3 the package was also included in a recent Charmed OpenStack distro regression test:

Moved back to triaged for ovn-22.03-proposed for the moment. There is a hash mismatch in the cloud archive because I didn't copy the package binaries over.

I have deployed Openstack Focal Ussuri using the focal-22.03/updates and upgraded all nodes to focal-22.03/proposed. I tested connectivity to existing and new vms and all seems good.

[Alan Baghumian (alanbach)]

I just upgraded my whole entire Focal/Yoga cloud to use the new versions.

A few notes:

1. The add repository command did not work, so I just manually added it:

$ sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:ovn-22.03-proposed
'ovn-22.03-proposed': not a valid cloud-archive name

$ echo "deb http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu focal-proposed/ovn-22.03 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloud-archive-ovn.list; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

2. All my machines are fully patched and the only packages that upgraded were the fresh OVN as well as OpenVSwitch.

3. Upgraded ovn-central units first and restart OVN services.

4. Upgraded ovn-chassis then octvia-ovn-chassis units.

5. Running floating IP ping from existing instances did not report any interruptions.

6. Stopped and started a couple instance and tested their floating IP(s).

7. Launched two new instances in two separate AZ(s), assigned floating IP(s), all good!

Thank you so much for taking care of this.

Best,
Alan
