We have at least one use case [1] for identifying resource providers which represent compute nodes. There are a few ways we could do that hackishly (e.g. [2], [3]) but the clean way is to have nova-compute mark the provider with a trait, since nova-compute knows which one it is anyway. This commit uses the COMPUTE_NODE trait for this purpose, and bumps the os-traits requirement to 1.1.0 where it is introduced. Arguably this is a no-op until something starts using it, but a release note is added anyway warning that all compute nodes should be upgraded to ussuri (or the trait added manually) for the trait to be useful. [1] https://review.opendev.org/#/c/670112/7/nova/cmd/manage.py@2921 [2] Assume a provider with a certain resource class, like MEMORY_MB, is always a compute node. This is not necessarily future-proof (maybe all MEMORY_MB will someday reside on NUMA node providers; similar for other resource classes) and isn't necessarily true in all cases today anyway (ironic nodes don't have MEMORY_MB inventory) and there's also currently no easy way to query for that (GET /resource_providers?MEMORY_MB:1 won't return "full" providers, and you can't ask for :0). [3] Assume a root provider without the MISC_SHARES_VIA_AGGREGATE trait is a compute node. This assumes you're only using placement for nova-ish things.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
