Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron] AZ Support

Hi,

2015-10-05 15:54 GMT+09:00 Gary Kotton 
<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>:
Hi,
Yes, you are correct. That patch is the culprit (my bad and once again humble 
apologies)

Regarding the AZ support I think that we need to do the following:

  1.  Have this in a separate topic until it is complete. I have a number of 
concerns here:
     *   The upgrade impact on Nova. Today in Nova one can have N AZ’s and they 
will all work on the same virtual networks. It is not clear how this will work 
here and if the networks can be shared across AZ’s (maybe this was discussed 
and I am missing somehing)

The proposed "AZ support" feature in Neutron is the really initial step and we 
have many points which can be improved.
The first step of AZ support is only related to the agent scheduling andit just 
tries to assign agent(s) from AZ(s) which users want.
Networks are still shared across AZs, so I don't think there are upgrade 
impacts on Nova.

[Gary] Thanks for that clarification. From 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/204436/ is did not really seem like that is 
the case, but I need to go over that in more detail. When will Nova know when 
to pass the AZ to Neutron? Will this be if the extension is supported? I am 
just failing to understand  the nova side of the integrations.


  1.
     *   A few weeks ago Monty raised concerns about floating IP support. I 
think that this will be required for AZ support. In the past one could have a 
shared network between AZ’s and now they will need two isolated networks

I think Floating IP pool per AZ is a straight forward approach.
However, this does not necessarily mean an external network should limit to a 
specific AZ.
Of course, it is better that VMs in AZ1 connect to a network (whose dhcp-agent 
lives in AZ1)

[Gary] So each time a new AZ is created the admin will need to update the 
Neutron configuration file - 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/183369/40/etc/neutron.conf,cm?

and the network is connected to router in AZ1.
The question is how users can select floating IP pool but in this case users 
can know which FIP pool belongs to which AZ.

There are other approaches. One possible option is to have one external network 
and
a router supports multiple upstream links using routing protocols.

I just wrote approaches in my mind and there must be more options.


  1.  In Nova on of the top priority features over the last few cycles has been 
cells. At the moment there is no cell support for Neutron. I feel that the AZ 
support is someone what related and maybe we should try and kill 2 birds with 
one stone here and have the cell support combined if possible. I think that 
this is certainly something that should be a cross project summit discussion.

I agree that Cells support is one of missing areas in Neutron.
I think AZ support and Cells support are different things though they are 
similar.
AZ support is visible to users and Cells are not.

Thanks,
Akihiro


Thanks
Gary

Now when I use the stable/liberty branch everything is OK


Ah, I suspect that's your culprit:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/226362/

instead of AZ's initial support.

Thanks

Hi,
It appears that the addition has broken the vmware_nsx plugin 
(https://review.openstack.org/183369). We are still debugging. Would it be 
worthwhile considering adding this support as a feature branch and then when 
the entire feature is ready that we merge it to the tree. This will enable the 
external vendors to be alive and kicking.

Please let us know how we can help you to fix it. The CI hasn't voted on this 
patch since May 14, so clearly the breakage flew under the radar.

Thanks
Gary
