Re: [Openstack-operators] Reaching VXLAN tenant networks from outside (without floating IPs)

2016-07-18 Thread Erik McCormick
I've recently gone through provisioning Midonet (open source version) with
the intent of tying their vxlan gateway in with my Cumulus switches. This
approach should be usable with pretty much any vxlan-capable switch. If
you're open to straying from the well travelled OVS/LB path, you may want
to consider checking it out

Right Blair, we've considered provider vlans, but we wanted to leverage the
low cost of private IPs (from a hardware switch perspective), taking into
account that we'll have thousands of VMs not needing external access.

2016-07-18 Thread Joseph Bajin
Everyone,

The agenda is up for this week's OSOps meeting.  You can find the agenda
here:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/osops-irc-meeting-20160720

I hope to have some ideas on how OSOps can help and how we can get more
people to participate.

The meeting will start at 1900 UTC in #openstack-meeting-4

Thanks

--Joe
