Hi all

Thank you for letting me know a newbie can ask questions here, very much a
fan.

Went through the old "4 part of 5" from Dimiter Naydenov's blog and
realised how to start to deal with networking in MAAS.


Wow with MAAS and Juju you dev guys have control of the whole stack. really
amazing....


So I wonder with with 4094 vlans available and the ability to identify the
proper vlans needed for real bundles like openstack, hadoop etc. I wonder
if you have thought to standardize the Vlan list like they did with ports
back in the day?

I would also like to know if there is/we can create a mode in MAAS where if
someone opts-in for a fully MASS-JUJU stack we can have MAAS auto-configure
the hosts interfaces that join based on the bundle they choose to use?

The reason I ask it that it is very clear that MAAS already knows the
information of the interfaces  involved and the speeds they run at.


I personally envisage it to be something like


Vlan                         Bundle                            Vlan name
 Vlan description

2001                        Openstack                       OS-public-api
                              Puplic vlan to connect to outside clients
2002                        Openstack                       OS-internal-api
                                Blah blah blah
2003                        Openstack                       OS-admin-api
                                   Blah blah blah

....
2019                         Openstack                     OS-Future
develpoment                           Blah blah blah
2020                         Openstack                     OS-compute-external
                            Blah blah blah


2031                        Hadoop                           OS-public-api
                                Puplic vlan to connect to outside clients
2032                        Hadoop                       OS-internal-api
                              Blah blah blah
2033                        Hadoop                       OS-admin-api
                               Blah blah blah

....
2039                         Hadoop                     OS-Future
develpoment                             Blah blah blah
2040                         Hadoop                     OS-compute-external
                            Blah blah blah


...

and it goes on for all other *potential* bundles.
...

4080-4094                        none after this         may reduce clashes
                          Some places use the end of a range....





and once it is defined the JUJU charm creators can require these standard
vlans knowing that they exist in MAAS when the bundle is used.



I realize this all may exist already, but if it does not, I will say this.
It may be possible when a user installs a bundle in juju, MAAS can
auto-configure all of the interfaces and sub-interfaces automatically with
the standard vlans without conflict, from what I can tell.


Not a small task to set up, but am I wrong in thinking so and is this a
direction that we may want to go?
