Tobias, I owe you a beer. This was precisely the issue. I'm deploying
Octavia with kolla-ansible. It only deploys a single CA. After hacking
the templates and playbook to incorporate a separate server CA, the
amphorae now load and provision the required namespace. I'm adding a
kolla tag to the subject of this in hopes that someone might want to
take on changing this behavior in the project. Hopefully after I get
through Upstream Institute in Berlin I'll be able to do it myself if
nobody else wants to do it.

For certificate generation, I extracted the contents of
octavia_certs_install.yml (which sets up the directory structure,
openssl.cnf, and the client CA), and octavia_certs.yml (which creates
the server CA and the client certificate) and mashed them into a
separate playbook just for this purpose. At the end I get:

ca_01.pem - Client CA Certificate
ca_01.key - Client CA Key
ca_server_01.pem - Server CA Certificate
cakey.pem - Server CA Key
client.pem - Concatenated Client Key and Certificate

If it would help to have the playbook, I can stick it up on github
with a huge "This is a hack" disclaimer on it.

Thanks for the hint on the workflow of this. I hadn't gotten deep
enough into the code to find that yet, but I suspected it was blocking
since the namespace never got created either. Thanks

This is all very helpful. It's a bit difficult to know what goes where
the way the documentation is written presently. For something that's
going to be the defacto standard for loadbalancing, we as a community
need to do a better job of documenting how to set up, configure, and
manage this in production. I'm trying to capture my lessons learned
and processes as I go to help with that if I can.
