           Summary: Add a special page interface for allocating, and
                    unallocating elastic IP addresses
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: OpenStackManager
        AssignedTo: rlan...@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: rlan...@gmail.com


Nova have the concept of elastic IP addresses (similar to EC2). We should
expose an interface for users to allocate IP addresses.

More investigation on Nova needs to be done on this. We are aiming to have
private IP addresses assigned to VMs by default, and we'd like these elastic IP
addresses to be public IP addresses. Nova currently only supports one NIC per
VM, and one bridge per virtual host. Future plans for Nova include multi-NIC
per VM, and multi-bridge per virtual host.

We are likely to use NAT at first as a workaround, but I'd like to ensure we
can use better openstack features in the future for this.

The interface should be written with NAT in mind, but should be extendable to a
better option in the future.
