Hello deployers from a rank newbie. My organization wants to try building an OpenStack deployment on premises partly to move our existing ad hoc container services into a more controllable and uniform system and partly to provide a test environment for working with a few other organizations on cloud infrastructure experiments.
For right now I have one server that's not being used anymore to play with. My plan is to get an OpenStack environment running on that server, move over some containers so I can reimage another server as a node, rinse and repeat. That first stage will eventually end up with 4 servers in the OpenStack deployment. We may expand further going forward. I've decided to use OpenStack Ansible to run the deployment. In our server room we have an edge router that runs NAT and DHCP for the whole office and routes specific external IPs and ports to internal servers as necessary. The router also serves all of the lan drops, wifi points, and phones in the office. I've claimed four VLANs, and a external subnet of addresses Where I'm getting confused is how to integrate the OS server into the rest of the network. The server I'm using is attached to a switch along with a few other servers that is patched directly into our router. My specific stumbling block right now is what IP to tell the br-mgmt network to use as a gateway (Here: https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/blob/stable/queens/etc/network/interfaces.d/openstack_interface.cfg.prod.example#L75). I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a hardware router or something neutron is going to take care of later. More generally speaking, any wise words about deploying in such an environment would also be welcome. Thanks very much in advance if you made it this far, Ross -- Ross Schulman Senior Counsel, Senior Policy Technologist, New America's Open Technology Institute r...@opentechinstitute.org 202-986-0427 PGP: 4D20 3824 9463 34C5 37EF FB0C 5A05 EB1F 5BBE 56EE
