Hi All,
This is with respect to Part 1 of the feature 'Dedicate Public IP range' which
is already implemented in CS.
Following is the observation wrt what is the current CS implementation and the
proposed changes to the same,
1. A public VLAN-IP range can only be associated to an account during the
creation of the range
Proposed change - Admin should be allowed to dedicate a range even after it has
been created and also allowed to change the owner
2. If an admin associates an IP range to an account, all the IP's of that
range get acquired by a single isolated network in that account
a. If there are no isolated guest networks, a new network is created and
all the IP's from the range are dedicated to the new network
b. If there is 1 isolated guest network, all the IP's from the range are
dedicated to the existing network
c. If there are more than 1 isolated guest network CS throws an error
Proposed change - When an account is chosen, the user also has
the option to choose the network in the account which can acquire the IP's
3. When a network that has a dedicated IP range is deleted, the mapping
between the account that owned the network and IP range persists. This implies
that the admin sees that the range is associated to the account. But the IP's
from this range can be acquired by any other account
Proposed change - The IP range should no longer be owned by the account
4. When an account is deleted the IP ranges dedicated to that account get
deleted
Proposed change - The range should be released back to the free pool instead
5. I see a potential starving scenario where a certain account that has
dedicated range uses up all the IP's from the free pool as well
Proposed change - Impose a configurable limit like say, at least one range
should always belong to the free pool
6. Even if a range is dedicated to an account, any network that belongs
to this account including the one that has acquired the IP's can acquire more
IP's from the free pool. This is because when we dedicate an IP range to an
account, one of the networks of that account acquires all the IP's.
Proposed change - During dedication we just mark this range of IP's as
dedicated. And only when the user acquires an IP for a particular network we
allow the network to choose from the dedicated range. If this change is
implemented we will not run into issue #2.
Please provide your feedback. I will publish an FS keeping in line with the
requirements we decide upon.
Thank you,
Likitha

Subject: RE: [DISCUSS] Dedicated Resources: Public IP Addresses and VLANs per
Tenant
In CloudStack we can already reserve the public IP range to an account but not
release it back to the free pool, so how about we divide this requirement into
2 parts - 1) Dedicate Public IP range 2) Dedicate Guest VLAN's per tenant.
Since Part 1 has already implemented, we need to only add the enhancement 'Add
releasing these IP Address range to the free pool'. I will create an
enhancement ticket to track this?
As for Part 2, I will soon publish an FS based on the requirements.
Any concerns?
Thank you,
Likitha
