Open Stack

A few things:

Public IPs and Floating IPs are not the same thing.
Some clouds have public IPs. Some have floating ips. Some have both.

I think it's important to be able to have magnum work with all of the above.

If the cloud does not require using a floating IP (as most do not) to 
get externally routable network access, magnum should work with that.

If the cloud does require using a floating IP (as some do) to get 
externally rouatable network access, magnum should be able to work with 
that.

In either case, it's also possible the user will not desire the thing 
they are deploying in magnum to be assigned an IP on a network that 
routes off of the cloud. That should also be supported.

Shade has code to properly detect most of those situations that you can 
look at for all of the edge cases - however, since magnum is installed 
by the operator, I'd suggest making a config value for it that allows 
the operator to express whether or not the cloud in question requires 
floating ips as it's EXCEPTIONALLY hard to accurately detect.
