Thanks for the reminder. I'd like an FFE for the tripleo-routed-
networks-templates blueprint. (Hope this is formal enough.)

I have made quite a bit of progress on this over the last couple of
weeks. There is a bit more too do, but the two sets of changes up there
does improve things incrementally.

All the patches are under this topic:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/tripleo-routed-networks-tem
plates+(status:open+OR+status:merged)

If we manage to land the two patch series starting with ...
 - https://review.openstack.org/579580
and:
 - https://review.openstack.org/580235

... completing the ones starting with https://review.openstack.org/5821
80 and a couple of more follow ups should be achievable before RC1. (I
will be on PTO after tomorrow, returning August 13.)



Over the last couple of days I have also started using rdocloud and
OVB. I pushed this pull request yesterday: https://github.com/cybertron
/openstack-virtual-baremetal/pull/43. (We should be able to re-use this
in CI to get better coverage.)


These changes reduce the complexity of configuring routed networks for
the end-user greatly. I.e use the same overcloud node network config
template for roles in different routed networks, and remove the need to
do hiera overrides such as:

ComputeLeaf2ExtraConfig:
  nova::compute::libvirt::vncserver_listen: "%{hiera('internal_api2')}"
  neutron::agents::ml2::ovs::local_ip: "%{hiera('tenant2')}"
  [ ... and so on ... ]
