Volume to SDK, cinderclient out. The block storage command tree finished its migration off python-cinderclient onto openstacksdk, with volume consistency group, volume consistency group snapshot, volume qos, block storage manageable list, block storage cluster, and block storage cleanup all ported over, tests reworked to use SDK objects, and the volume_sdk_client test fixture renamed to volume_client. The series ends by removing the python-cinderclient dependency outright. Lingering keystoneclient usage in the volume, network, and common modules was replaced along the way.

Manila and VPNaaS land in-tree. A new share service was bootstrapped and its commands and utilities imported in two large drops (~4,900 lines combined), pulling Manila CLI surface into openstackclient. Separately, the VPNaaS commands were moved in from python-neutronclient (~4,100 lines), consolidating another Neutron-adjacent client.

Network command additions. New security group default statefulness commands and a network agent router set command extend the Neutron CLI surface, and dynamic routing gained missing type hints.

Docs and CI. The command-objects guide was restructured and documentation was added for previously undocumented commands; Zuul moved to the openstack-python3-next-jobs template and pre-commit hooks were bumped.

SDK migration push. The bulk of the week — roughly nine changesets and several thousand lines of churn — moves volume commands off the legacy cinderclient onto openstacksdk. Migrated subcommands include volume type *, volume list, volume set/unset, volume transfer request *, volume group *, volume group type *, volume host *, volume message *, and volume backup record *. Alongside the volume work, remaining keystoneclient usage was stripped from the compute and image command trees, and references to private _proxy modules were cleaned up. On the identity side, policy commands and the endpoint–project association commands also moved to the SDK.

Neutron dynamic routing. The OSC client code for Neutron's dynamic-routing extension was imported from python-neutronclient, landing ~1,260 lines and giving openstack first-class commands for that feature.

Compute features. Two user-visible Nova additions arrived: support for the new microversion 104 unpin-az behavior, and --availability-zone / --host filters on aggregate list.

Maintenance. Smaller cleanups removed dead nova-network utilities, dropped an unused identity helper and the router_routes quota workaround, refreshed typing for openstacksdk 4.16.0, and corrected the documented replacement for md-tag-create-multiple.

Volume v3 build-out. The bulk of the week — roughly 3,200 lines — went into adding Cinder v3-specific command modules to replace older v1/v2 implementations. New modules landed for consistency groups, consistency group snapshots, QoS specs, backup records, and volume hosts, plus v3 volume backend support. In the same vein, the remaining cinderclient usage in the compute commands was replaced, and the v1 image create path migrated its volume calls over to the SDK.

Network commands. Neutron router creation gained an --evpn-vni argument, add subnet learned an --advertise-host flag, and the FWaaS create commands now accept the resource name as a positional argument rather than requiring an option.

Fixes and typing. quota show had its keypair usage accounting corrected, and typing annotations were refreshed against openstacksdk 4.15.0.

Test cleanup. Around 425 lines of unused fakes were deleted from the test suite and version suffixes were stripped from test modules, alongside a small package-discovery fix.

Network CLI surface. The biggest functional change extends --marker and --limit pagination flags to most network list commands, joined by a new --max-items option for capping result counts and a refactor of image list to use the shared pagination helper (802482). Neutron gains a set of PVLAN commands, and quotas pick up a --router-routes knob. Smaller polish includes preferring --agent-id over --long for agent lookups and suppressing evpn_vni when the API doesn't return it.

Typing. A four-change typing push lands across the tree: requiring typed definitions, adding types for _get_columns helpers and _format_* helpers, and catching up with recent SDK signature changes — roughly 850 lines reshuffled in service of stricter annotations.

Maintenance. Package version lookups move from pkg_resources to importlib.metadata. Dead nova-network utilities and a stale network TODO are deleted, and functional test coverage arrives for volume group CRUD.

Identity commands. The biggest change of the week is the migration of federation mapping commands to the OpenStack SDK, a 318-line rework that moves another slice of keystone surface off the legacy client path and onto the unified SDK foundation (987773). Alongside it, user list and project list finally gained pagination, so operators running these against large identity backends can page through results instead of pulling everything at once.

Network commands. network agent add router learned a new --ha-chassis-priority flag, giving operators direct control over HA chassis ordering when binding routers to agents. A small rename swaps the legacy "OVN Metadata agent" string for "OVN agent" to match upstream Neutron terminology.

Stability. Volume group type show had a stubborn parsed_args attribute bug fixed across four stable branches, so the command now behaves the same on master and backports. Type hints were filled in for the newer BGP VPN commands, and a small batch of mypy cleanups landed on top.

Maintenance. Python 3.10 support was dropped, aligning the client with the rest of the current OpenStack runtime baseline.
