I can't help as we use config-drive to set networking and are just starting to 
roll out Cent7 vm's.  However, a huge change from Cent6 to Cent7 was the switch 
from upstart/dhclient to systemd/systemd-dhcp.

Subject: [Openstack-operators] RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 instances losing their network 
gateway

Hello,

I have run into two different OpenStack clouds where instances running either 
RHEL 7 or CentOS 7 images are randomly losing their network gateway.

There's nothing in the logs that show any indication of why. There's no DHCP 
hiccup or anything like that. The gateway has just disappeared.

If I log into the instance via another instance (so on the same subnet since 
there's no gateway), I can manually re-add the gateway and everything works... 
until it loses it again.

One cloud is running Havana and the other is running Icehouse. Both are using 
nova-network and both are Ubuntu 12.04.

On the Havana cloud, we decided to install the dnsmasq package from Ubuntu 
14.04. This looks to have resolved the issue as this was back in November and I 
haven't heard an update since.

However, we don't want to do that just yet on the Icehouse cloud. We'd like to 
understand exactly why this is happening and why updating dnsmasq resolves an 
issue that only one specific type of image is having.

I can make my way around CentOS, but I'm not as familiar with it as I am with 
Ubuntu (especially CentOS 7). Does anyone know what change in RHEL7/CentOS7 
might be causing this? Or does anyone have any other ideas on how to 
troubleshoot the issue?

I currently have access to two instances in this state, so I'd be happy to act 
as remote hands and eyes. :)

Thanks,
Joe
