openstack/openstacksdk — Week of 2026-06-20

Block storage expansion. The cinder/volume proxy gained substantial new surface area: a full clusters resource (~428 lines) plus support for manageable volumes and snapshots (~347 lines). QoS specs now tolerate unknown attributes, and a sizeable docs patch fills in previously missing block storage reference material. Together these changes account for roughly a thousand lines of net additions in the volume service alone.

Image and compute fixes. The image proxy learned to download from a specific store, addressing multi-store Glance deployments. On the compute side, the backup_server proxy and action were repaired, server-external-events had its resource_key corrected to None, and the create_server_image proxy method's return type was fixed. A long-pending change from PranaliD also landed adding the new image add/get location APIs.

Typing and test cleanup. Several typing gaps were closed, including missing find_* overrides and a corrected VolumeAttachment.connection_info type. The test suite saw heavy pruning: 684 lines of dead cloud.clustering tests removed, testtools.ExpectedException usage replaced, the base test class applied consistently, and the fakes module updated to set spec_set on proxy mocks for stricter mock validation.

Volume API buildout. The Cinder bindings absorbed the largest share of work, led by a new consistency groups resource (~1,500 lines) and a full QoS Spec surface — definitions, actions, and find/list proxy methods. The v2 layer caught up to v3 in several places: volume type encryption, volume type extra specs, upload_volume_to_image, and update methods for both volumes and types. Smaller additions included backup record import, a Messages resource, service worker cleanup, missing query filters for group types, and a fix for unsetting image metadata. See the consistency groups change at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstacksdk/+/915731.

Shared file system expansion. Manila support grew in parallel with new resources for share types, share network subnet metadata, share snapshot metadata, and quota sets, plus proxy methods for reset_state/force_delete on shares and snapshots, share soft delete and restore, and snapshot manage/unmanage.

Proxy plumbing and fixes. Proxy._delete was reworked to accept query-string params and to forward arbitrary params downstream, touching call sites broadly. Compute gained graceful handling for a missing service, Neutron calls were switched to project_id, typing was tightened on Server console actions and restore_backup signatures, and a project_id attribute was added to the Magnum cluster resource.

Elsewhere. Placement picked up a fetch_resource_provider_usages method, and packaging discovery and a stale mypy ignore were cleaned up.

Typing sweep. The week was dominated by a push to finish type annotations across the SDK's service proxies. Annotations landed for the remaining methods in block_storage, compute, network, baremetal, image, object_store, identity, orchestration, clustering, shared_file_system, dns, load_balancer, message, placement, baremetal_introspection, database, instance_ha, workflow, container_infrastructure_management and accelerator — close to every proxy in the tree. A small follow-up inverted some type checks and fixed a couple of bugs surfaced in the compute proxy along the way.

Resource creation refactor. The Resource base class gained a new create_opts mechanism alongside a _transform_create_response helper, with existing resources migrated over in two batches and create_exclude_id_from_body dropped. A related _transform_create_request helper replaced ad-hoc logic in several call sites.

New resources and API surface. Manila gained ShareReplica and Service resources, plus a min-microversion guard on availability zones. Compute picked up a ServerExternalEvents resource wrapping the os-server-external-events API (983904). Key Manager added secret consumer support. Networking gained PVLAN options, a router_route field on Quota resources, and an advertise_host argument on add_interface_to_router.

Housekeeping. The deprecated openstack.version module was removed, share proxy methods were reordered, and resource docs switched to a glob.

New service coverage. Several services gained APIs this week: a share transfer resource for the Shared File System service, Secret ACL support and a quota API for the Key Manager, and a QoSSpec resource for Block Storage. Together these land roughly 1,100 lines of new functional surface across four services.

Proxy and resource cleanup. A large sweep continued through the Proxy/Resource layer: the tests.fakes module (and remaining dead fakes) was removed, proxy docstrings were cleaned up, baremetal list operations were migrated onto Proxy._list, a new Proxy._update helper was added, and patch_* methods picked up type annotations. Several deprecations accompanied the refactor — incorrect update_* methods, passing individual patches, the find_* ignore_missing param, find_policy() in Identity, and nova-network support in cloud.

Retry handling. Proxy.request() was preventing connect_retries from taking effect; a reproducer test landed alongside the fix at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstacksdk/+/990083.

Elsewhere. Volume v2 picked up missing attach/detach parameters, and a small amount of dead code was removed.

Typing across the Proxy surface. The week was dominated by a sweeping type-annotation pass over the SDK's Proxy layer. Annotations now cover every Proxy.delete_*, Proxy.get_*, Proxy.update_*, and the plural list-style Proxy.*s methods, plus synced signatures on wait_for_delete and typed test fixtures. Together these changes touched well over 8,000 lines and give downstream consumers — Ansible collections, OSC, third-party tooling — a far more accurate view of what each proxy call accepts and returns. The series also nudges the codebase toward Mapping and Sequence in public signatures over concrete dict/list types (989573).

API cleanup and deprecations. The _id suffix has been dropped from proxy method names, aligning the SDK with its own naming conventions, and the incorrect get_*_metadata helpers are now deprecated in favor of the correct spellings (989571). Docstrings across Proxy.find_*, create_*, and the base Resource class were tidied for consistency.

Stability and housekeeping. A flaky JSONDecodeError in unit-test setUp was tracked down and fixed, and the SecurityGroupsDefaultStatefulness resource had its incorrect resource_key corrected. Python 3.10 support was dropped, and tox migrated to the new constraints option.
