[Openstack] Looking for best practices on setting up least-privilege compute nodes

Are there any docs or guides that describe best practices for setting up compute nodes with least privileges to mitigate the impact if an individual compute node is compromised? For example, I tried using a non-admin service tenant account for the nova.conf->neutron_admin_* settings on my compute

Re: [Openstack] Network interfaces with VMware & Neutron OVS

The plugin is only being rebranded at the moment. More architectural changes are on the way but we recognize that backward compatibility is paramount therefore we'll strive to maintain it. As far as Havana is concerned everything is still the same. If you are working against master you can track

These are two different clusters with their own individual auth systems. In fact, one is internal to where I work and another is at a customer site. These should both be using swauth and that let me to believe that both should have the same behavior. I am using the jclouds java library. I am looki

Re: [Openstack] Havana / nova-network - Multi-Node setup, dnsmasq usesthe same IP on multiple nodes

Hi Ritesh, I was missing the share_dhcp_address=True option in nova.conf, setting that to False solves the issue. The network was specified as multi-host T and the bridge IS created automatically. The issue was the IP which was assigned to the bridge. It was the same on all nodes (which is bad, a

It sounds like you may have `share_dhcp_address` set to True in your nova.conf: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/etc/nova/nova.conf.sample#L1231-L1235 Dave On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 7:22 AM, Sascha Vogt wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a Multi-Node, Single-NIC setup. All machines only h

Hello Sascha, Its an multi host nova-network setup depicted there, so nova-network will handle network of its compute node. While creating a network specify multi-host T , in that case when a machine is created on a compute node bridge would be automatically created on each compute node. Rega

Hi Rajshree, I presume you are using the driver configuration in right cinder config file? The default is /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file. Would you mind sharing the entire conf file contents so that I can look at the scheduler options? The defaults should work for ESX though. >From the log snippet
