Hi Dan,<div><br></div><div>Thank you very much for your commends.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Horizon support for Quantum in Folsom is limits to the core "L2<br>
networks + IP address management" aspects of Quantum. Quantum itself<br>
didn't add support for L3 and Floating IPs didn't land until extremely<br>
late in Folsom, so its not Horizon's fault that this is not supported.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, understood. I am not trying to place blame anywhere. As a service provider, I'm trying to figure out how end-users will now use Folsom-based clouds.</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div class="im">quantum has its own set of floatingip commands that will be available</div>
to tenants:<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>snip</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Networks that support floating ips can be identified by searching for<br>
networks where router:external=True . We haven't yet added a<br>
convenient CLI command for that, but you can do:<br>
<br>
quantum network-list -- --router:external=True<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My only concern with this is the possible increase in knowledge and steps that an end-user will have to know and do in order to get their instance publicly available on the internet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Users were used to a two step process (allocate and associate). They now have to use a command line tool. As long as the quantum tool can be installed on client machines and place calls to the quantum service, this can be acceptable.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In my opinion, it is starting to place more work on the end-user that they would like if they now have to first lookup an external network, then allocate an IP from that network, then associate that IP to an instance, all with a CLI.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If I am thinking about this in the wrong way, I apologize.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">This will be covered in the Quantum admin guide.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Again, if I'm thinking about this wrong and these scenarios will be covered in the admin guide, I apologize.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Early in Grizzly we'll also probably work on a mechanism for proxying<br>
Nova floatingip API calls to Quantum floating IP calls.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What are the chances of a backport or doing this early enough that some of this new code can be run inside Folsom?</div><div><br>
