OpenCHAMI Weekly Digest

A landmark week — metadata-service v0.1.0 ships as a first release alongside smd v2.20.0 with optional tokensmith authentication, plus an ochami boot service status command and a fabrica health-endpoint addition.

Highlights#

• metadata-service v0.1.0 — first release: metadata-service v0.1.0 ships. The release incorporates PR #6 (Profile resource), PR #7 (fabrica 0.3.0 + Profile/WireGuardPeer reconcilers), PR #8 (fabrica upgrade), and forward-looking work in PR #13 (WireGuard peer reconciliation).
• smd v2.20.0 with TokenSmith authentication: smd v2.20.0 ships PR #86 — optional TokenSmith authentication features in SMD. A foundational integration. smd v2.20.3 followed with patches the same day.
• smd CI/CD overhauled: smd PR #88 (alexlovelltroy — CI/CD + GoReleaser improvements), #89 (PR-build env from travisbcotton), and #90 (remove Windows from smd-loader goos list). The smd release pipeline gets meaningfully better.
• fabrica v0.4.5 with health endpoint: fabrica v0.4.5 ships PR #53 (health check endpoint + tests). The missing-API-endpoints bug in fabrica #51 was also closed.
• ochami v0.7.3 brings boot-service status: ochami v0.7.3 ships PR #79 — new ochami boot service status command. Also closes the ochami #68 SMD interface query parameter bug via PR #83 from new contributor Wafffle77.
• boot-service v0.1.5 with health/version endpoints: boot-service v0.1.5 ships PR #13 (fabrica 0.4.4 upgrade), and closes boot-service #5 (health/version endpoints) and #8 (broken docker-build). PR #14 adds a CONTAINER_PROG Makefile variable for runtime flexibility.
• WireGuard reconciliation lands in metadata-service: metadata-service PR #13 implements WireGuard peer reconciliation and tests — open, with companion issues #10 (reconciliation runtime) and #11 (TokenSmith-backed dynamic SMD authentication) opened the same day.
• Magellan input-format work: magellan PR #130 — collect accepting input in specified format — open, addressing magellan #128 from February.
• Community governance items close: community #43 (Fabrica replacements for legacy services agenda) closed, and PR #44 adds a “TSC Agenda Item” label to the agenda template.

New & Notable PRs#

• TokenSmith authentication for SMD (smd #86) by alexlovelltroy
• WireGuard peer reconciliation (metadata-service #13) by alexlovelltroy
• Health check endpoint (fabrica #53) by alexlovelltroy
• ochami boot service status (ochami #79) by synackd
• SMD-loader goos cleanup (smd #90) by travisbcotton
• SMD query parameter assignment (ochami #83) by Wafffle77

Issues to Watch#

• TokenSmith-backed dynamic SMD authentication for metadata-service (metadata-service #11) — natural extension of the smd v2.20.0 work.
• Reconciliation runtime + WireGuard lifecycle (metadata-service #10) — the reconciler framework for the next stage of metadata-service.
• Submitting Agenda Topics in GitHub (community #42) — still open from slandath’s earlier work.
• Profile-based control for metadata and #cloud-config (metadata-service #5) — long-running profile-based control work still active.

Releases#

• metadata-service v0.1.0 — first release
• smd v2.20.0 — TokenSmith authentication
• smd v2.20.3
• fabrica v0.4.5 — health check endpoint
• boot-service v0.1.5
• ochami v0.7.3 — boot service status

Contributor Thanks#

• alexlovelltroy — smd TokenSmith auth, fabrica health endpoint, metadata-service reconciler work. Big week.
• synackd — ochami boot service status command + boot-service Makefile cleanup + TSC label work.
• travisbcotton — smd CI/CD fixes.
• shunr-hpe — sustained inventory-service work + blog post drafting.

What’s next?#

• Wire metadata-service TokenSmith dynamic auth (#11) against the new smd v2.20 TokenSmith features.
• Land metadata-service PR #13 WireGuard reconciliation.
• Continue building out fabrica-based services on the v0.4.5 health-endpoint pattern.
