[Openstack-operators] [nova] Do you, or your users, have input on how get-me-a-network should work in Nova?

There is a long contentious dev thread going on here [1] about how Nova should handle the Neutron auto-allocate-topology API (referred to as the 'get-me-a-network' effort). The point is to reduce the complexity for users to simply boot an instance and be able to ssh into it without having to f

Sorry for top posting. Just wanted to say I agree with Monty (and didn't want you to have to scroll way down to read it). When we switched to neutron the thing people said was "Why do I have to do all this other stuff now?". So long as the tools exist for folks to do more powerful things if th

Most service environments I've worked with will deploy (often automatically) a first tenant network and router, allowing for the simple case of "deploy a vm, and it auto attaches to the only network" model. So in effect, this is anticipated, if not expected, behavior. If on the other hand, there

2016-02-25 Thread Matt Jarvis
On our public cloud we do exactly as Robert describes - as part of our customer onboarding process, we automatically create a default network and router to our provider network, so that a tenant can just spin up a VM if they want to. Obviously the customer can then delete this if they wish, but it

As I've already said in this thread, we automatically provide an initial network and router for all our customers as part of our on-boarding process so in our case this problem doesn't actually exist unless customers delete their initial router and network. If a customer has already deleted these f

For a user that's gone and deleted their network services, then wouldn't they perhaps be savvy enough to deploy a network/subnet pair. If they don't want to pay for the router then this is what they'd be working towards (by deleting their initially provisioned service). As it stands today, if you
