From daa0b91119d2c16860a19b4ead2d0d128f8bc5ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomas Sedovic Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2017 10:24:16 +0200 Subject: Allow using a provider network (#701) * Allow using a provider network This adds a new option `openstack_provider_network_name` which will take a name of an existing network and put the servers there. It will also prevent creating floating IP addresses as the provider network's IPs should already be accessible without any additional routing required. Fixes #622 * Requested changes Don't fail on external/private networks and use role defaults for the provider network. * Add missing endif --- playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) (limited to 'playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md') diff --git a/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md b/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md index b898351e6..4e74627dc 100644 --- a/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md +++ b/playbooks/provisioning/openstack/README.md @@ -229,6 +229,24 @@ under the ansible group named `ext_lb`: openshift_master_cluster_hostname: "{{ groups.ext_lb.0 }}" openshift_master_cluster_public_hostname: "{{ groups.ext_lb.0 }}" +#### Provider Network + +Normally, the playbooks create a new Neutron network and subnet and attach +floating IP addresses to each node.
