[Openstack-operators] [puppet] openstack providers - endpoint not configurable

Hi,


I've been recently working on separating management and client traffic onto
different endpoints.  We have different endpoint URLs configured for
"public", "admin" and "internal".

For openstack itself, this is working well.  However, puppet providers
don't seem to cater for this.

Particularly, right now, I'm looking at the neutron providers, but they may
be mostly the same.  It always uses the public endpoint, and doesn't seem
configurable [ unless I'm missing something ].
All the client config for auth etc is sourced from neutron.conf, and I
can't see a way of specifying endpoint type via that mechanism.

I can change the provider like this, and it all works:

diff --git a/lib/puppet/provider/neutron.rb b/lib/puppet/provider/neutron.rb
index a55fa0b..786e64d 100644
--- a/lib/puppet/provider/neutron.rb
+++ b/lib/puppet/provider/neutron.rb

         :OS_AUTH_URL    => q['identity_uri'],
         :OS_USERNAME    => q['admin_user'],
         :OS_TENANT_NAME => q['admin_tenant_name'],
-        :OS_PASSWORD    => q['admin_password']
+        :OS_PASSWORD    => q['admin_password'],
+        :OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE => 'internal',
       }
     else
       authenv = {
         :OS_AUTH_URL    => q['auth_url'],
         :OS_USERNAME    => q['username'],
         :OS_TENANT_NAME => q['tenant_name'],
-        :OS_PASSWORD    => q['password']
+        :OS_PASSWORD    => q['password'],
+        :OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE => 'internal',
       }
     end
     if q.key?('nova_region_name')


Notice, I'm adding OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE to control the endpoint that selected
from the catalogue.

I want to keep the "public" endpoints for external clients only on the
external network, the "internal" endpoints for inter service API comms on
the management network, and the "admin" endpoints for admin operations on
the management network.

In particular, I want to be able to stop advertising the public endpoints
during maintenance windows, and still be able to run puppet!


Can anyone think of a way of overcoming this?

If it's not possible through config, is there some way I can drop in my own
provider version with the same name safely ?

Anything else I'm missing?

Thanks!



Cheers,
Just
