--- upgrade: - | The ``nova-api`` service now requires the ``[placement]`` section to be configured in nova.conf if you are using a separate config file just for that service. This is because the ``nova-api`` service now needs to talk to the placement service in order to delete resource provider allocations when deleting an instance and the ``nova-compute`` service on which that instance is running is down. This change is idempotent if ``[placement]`` is not configured in ``nova-api`` but it will result in new warnings in the logs until configured. See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1679750 for more details.
