Production environment¶
This is an example production environment for a working OpenStack-Ansible (OSA) deployment with high availability services.
This example environment has the following characteristics:
Three infrastructure (control plane) hosts
Two compute hosts
One NFS storage device
One log aggregation host
Multiple Network Interface Cards (NIC) configured as bonded pairs for each host
Full compute kit with the Telemetry service (ceilometer) included, with NFS configured as a storage back end for the Image (glance), and Block Storage (cinder) services
Internet access via the router address 172.29.236.1 on the Management Network

Host network configuration¶
Each host will require the correct network bridges to be implemented. The
following is the /etc/network/interfaces file for infra1.
Note
If your environment does not have eth0, but instead has p1p1 or
some other interface name, ensure that all references to eth0 in all
configuration files are replaced with the appropriate name. The same
applies to additional network interfaces.
# This is a multi-NIC bonded configuration to implement the required bridges
# for OpenStack-Ansible. This illustrates the configuration of the first
# Infrastructure host and the IP addresses assigned should be adapted
# for implementation on the other hosts.
#
# After implementing this configuration, the host will need to be
# rebooted.
# Assuming that eth0/1 and eth2/3 are dual port NIC's we pair
# eth0 with eth2 and eth1 with eth3 for increased resiliency
# in the case of one interface card failing.

Environment customizations¶
The optionally deployed files in /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d allow the
customization of Ansible groups. This allows the deployer to set whether
the services will run in a container (the default), or on the host (on
metal).
For this environment, the cinder-volume runs in a container on the
infrastructure hosts. To achieve this, implement
/etc/openstack_deploy/env.d/cinder.yml with the following content:
---
# This file contains an example to show how to set
# the cinder-volume service to run in a container.
#
# Important note:
# When using LVM or any iSCSI-based cinder backends, such as NetApp with
# iSCSI protocol, the cinder-volume service *must* run on metal.
# Reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1226855
container_skel:
cinder_volumes_container:
properties:
is_metal: false
User variables¶
The /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml file defines the global
overrides for the default variables.
For this environment, implement the load balancer on the infrastructure
hosts. Ensure that keepalived is also configured with HAProxy in
/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml with the following content.
---
# This file contains an example of the global variable overrides
# which may need to be set for a production environment.
# These variables must be defined when external_lb_vip_address or
# internal_lb_vip_address is set to FQDN.
## Load Balancer Configuration (haproxy/keepalived)
haproxy_keepalived_external_vip_cidr: "<external_vip_address>/<netmask>"
