openstack/kayobe — Week of 2026-08-29

Switch driver work. The Dell switch integration saw the biggest push, with the dellemc.os* module invocation fix landing on master and two stable branches (~three identical ~90-line changes), plus a bump of the dellemc.os10 collection to 1.2.7. Alongside that, network-generic-switch gained support for Cisco NX-OS switches, broadening the multi-vendor story on the same subsystem.

Ansible modernization. The largest single patch replaced local_action usage with explicit delegate_to: localhost across playbooks, aligning Kayobe with current Ansible idioms. A smaller sync patch also pulled inventory and flag changes forward from kolla-ansible 2025.1.

Stability. Bifrost's extra_kernel_params validation was corrected on two branches, and podman support picked up two small fixes covering environments where the container runtime had been misbehaving.

Tooling and CI. The CI job for baremetal now emulates a Redfish BMC via Tenks (998888), giving out-of-band management coverage that previously required real hardware, and the kernel module install step was retargeted at the kernel-modules-extra-matched package.
