<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">An alternative would be to setup an “administrator project” in which the HAProxy VMs will be instantiated for all tenants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The tenant will not be able to see the VM nor should he be allowed to log into this VM via the tenant network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Within LBaaS effort we need to configure HAProxy service which is running on one of tenant’s VMs in a certain subnet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Initially we were planning to configure two interfaces on such HAProxy VMs – one for tenant network and other for provider network – thus having an ability to simply reach the VM by ssh using an ip from provider network.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But finally we found this way inappropriate because it overloads provider network and provides an ability to a tenant to access provider network which is not good as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I’d like to find a proper way of reaching tenant’s VM to be able to execute commands on it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Quantum code I found that it can be done by using ‘ip netns exec’ (quantum/debug/debug_agent.py: QuantumDebugAgent.exec_command()) which is close to what I need. Are there any better ways to do it in quantum?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oleg<o:p></o:p></p>
