[Openstack-operators] I have finally created an instance, and it works! However, there is no ethernet card

Curious if you’ve defined a network space for your instances. If you’re using the traditional flat_network, this is known as the ‘fixed_address’ space.
If you’re using neutron, you would need to create a network and a subnet (and router with gateway, etc). You’d then assign the instance to a network at launch time.

My management wants me to use a provider network, which I understand to mean that my instances will have IP addresses in the same space as the controller, block storage, and compute node administrative addresses.  However, I think that discussing addressing is premature until I have a working virtual ethernet card.

However, I think I do not want a network type of GRE, because that encapsulates the packets and I don't have anything to un-encapsulate them.
