Jesse Pretorius 03ba20351b [docs] Clarify the 'Network configuration' section
There have been questions about where the 'Host network configuration'
should be placed and what should be done if the network interface names
are different.

This patch simply aims to give answers to these questions.

Appendix B: Example production environment configuration

Introduction

This appendix describes an example production environment for a working OpenStack-Ansible (OSA) deployment with high availability services.

This example environment has the following characteristics:

  • Three infrastructure (control plane) hosts
  • Two compute hosts
  • One NFS storage device
  • One log aggregation host
  • Multiple Network Interface Cards (NIC) configured as bonded pairs for each host
  • Full compute kit with the Telemetry service (ceilometer) included, with NFS configured as a storage back end for the Image (glance), and Block Storage (cinder) services
  • Internet access via the router address 172.29.236.1 on the Management Network

Network configuration

Network CIDR/VLAN assignments

The following CIDR and VLAN assignments are used for this environment.

Network CIDR VLAN
Management Network 172.29.236.0/22

10

Tunnel (VXLAN) Network 172.29.240.0/22

30

Storage Network 172.29.244.0/22

20

IP assignments

The following host name and IP address assignments are used for this environment.

Host name Management IP Tunnel (VxLAN) IP Storage IP
lb_vip_address 172.29.236.9
infra1 172.29.236.11
infra2 172.29.236.12
infra3 172.29.236.13
log1 172.29.236.14
NFS Storage 172.29.244.15
compute1 172.29.236.16 172.29.240.16 172.29.244.16
compute2 172.29.236.17 172.29.240.17 172.29.244.17

Host network configuration

Each host will require the correct network bridges to be implemented. The following is the /etc/network/interfaces file for infra1.

Note

If your environment does not have eth0, but instead has p1p1 or some other interface name, ensure that all references to eth0 in all configuration files are replaced with the appropriate name. The same applies to additional network interfaces.

../../../etc/network/interfaces.d/openstack_interface.cfg.prod.example

Deployment configuration

Environment layout

The /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file defines the environment layout.

The following configuration describes the layout for this environment.

../../../etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml.prod.example

Environment customizations

The optionally deployed files in /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d allow the customization of Ansible groups. This allows the deployer to set whether the services will run in a container (the default), or on the host (on metal).

For this environment, the cinder-volume runs in a container on the infrastructure hosts. To achieve this, implement /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/cinder.yml with the following content:

../../../etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/cinder-volume.yml.container.example

User variables

The /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml file defines the global overrides for the default variables.

For this environment, implement the load balancer on the infrastructure hosts. Ensure that keepalived is also configured with HAProxy in /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml with the following content.

../../../etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml.prod.example
