Test environment example¶
Here is an example test environment for a working OpenStack-Ansible (OSA) deployment with a small number of servers.
This example environment has the following characteristics:
One infrastructure (control plane) host (8 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD)
One compute host (8 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD)
One Network Interface Card (NIC) for each host
A basic compute kit environment, with the Image (glance) and Compute (nova) services set to use file-backed storage.
Internet access via the router address 172.29.236.1 on the Management Network
Network configuration¶
Switch port configuration¶
The following example provides a good reference for switch configuration and cab layout. This example may be more that what is required for basic setups however it can be adjusted to just about any configuration. Additionally you will need to adjust the VLANS noted within this example to match your environment.
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 |
---|---|---|---|
infra1 |
172.29.236.11 |
172.29.240.11 |
|
compute1 |
172.29.236.12 |
172.29.240.12 |
172.29.244.12 |
storage1 |
172.29.236.13 |
172.29.244.13 |
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.
# This is a single-NIC configuration to implement the required bridges
# for OpenStack-Ansible. This illustrates the configuration of the first
# Infrastructure host and the IP addresses assigned should be adapted
# for implementation on the other hosts.
#
# After implementing this configuration, the host will need to be
# rebooted.

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 you do not need the /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d
folder as the defaults set by OpenStack-Ansible are suitable.
User variables¶
The /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml
file defines the global
overrides for the default variables.
For this environment, if you want to use the same IP address for the internal and external endpoints, you will need to ensure that the internal and public OpenStack endpoints are served with the same protocol. This is done with the following content:
---
# This file contains an example of the global variable overrides
# which may need to be set for a production environment.
## OpenStack public endpoint protocol
