This appendix describes an example production environment for a working OpenStack-Ansible (OSA) deployment with high availability services and using the Ceph backend for images, volumes, and instances.
This example environment has the following characteristics:
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 |
The following host name and IP address assignments are used for this environment.
Host name | Management IP | Tunnel (VxLAN) IP | Storage IP |
---|---|---|---|
lb_vip_address | 172.29.236.9 | ||
infra1 | 172.29.236.11 | ||

compute2 | 172.29.236.17 | 172.29.240.17 | 172.29.244.17 |
osd1 | 172.29.236.18 | 172.29.240.18 | 172.29.244.18 |
osd2 | 172.29.236.19 | 172.29.240.19 | 172.29.244.19 |
osd3 | 172.29.236.20 | 172.29.240.20 | 172.29.244.20 |
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 multi-NIC bonded 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.
# Assuming that eth0/1 and eth2/3 are dual port NIC's we pair
# eth0 with eth2 and eth1 with eth3 for increased resiliency
# in the case of one interface card failing.

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 a ceph environment, you can run the cinder-volume
in a container.
To do this you will need to create a /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/cinder.yml
file
with the following content:
---
# This file contains an example to show how to set
# the cinder-volume service to run in a container.
#
# Important note:
# When using LVM or any iSCSI-based cinder backends, such as NetApp with
# iSCSI protocol, the cinder-volume service *must* run on metal.
# Reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1226855
container_skel:
cinder_volumes_container:
properties:
is_metal: false
The /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml
file defines the global
overrides for the default variables.
For this example environment, we configure a HA load balancer.
We implement the load balancer (HAProxy) with an HA layer (keepalived)
on the infrastructure hosts.
Your /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml
must have the following content
to configure haproxy, keepalived and ceph:
---
# Because we have three haproxy nodes, we need
# to one active LB IP, and we use keepalived for that.
## Load Balancer Configuration (haproxy/keepalived)
haproxy_keepalived_external_vip_cidr: "1.2.3.4/32"
haproxy_keepalived_internal_vip_cidr: "172.29.236.0/22"
haproxy_keepalived_external_interface: ens2
haproxy_keepalived_internal_interface: br-mgmt
## Ceph cluster fsid (must be generated before first run)
## Generate a uuid using: python -c 'import uuid; print(str(uuid.uuid4()))'
generate_fsid: false
fsid: 116f14c4-7fe1-40e4-94eb-9240b63de5c1 # Replace with your generated UUID
