Thanks Han for the correction. Just one more minor typo in the tutorial
below.
I hit some roadblocks to start ic controller on different az but got my
setup running with workarounds in current code and have posted in comments
which needs fix for sure. I tried with 2 different ovn setups with 2 AZs
where each ovn az uses1 hv, 1 gw and 1 lport bound to hv. I am able to
access the workloads across azs.
