That's depending on your use-case. We have two types of VMs in our cloud, production VMs and the rest (self-service tenant networks). All production VMs are in provider networks, launched with config-drive and independent of the control plane. So as long as the compute nodes and the network infrastructure are running we can work, the less important VMs are not reachable during that time, of course, but it doesn't really hurt anybody. So if you have machines that are required to work independent of network nodes (control nodes) you should consider using such provider networks. Or move the VMs to those networks if you already have been using provider networks. Zitat von Nguyễn Hữu Khôi <nguyenhuukhoinw@gmail.com>:
Yes. I agree with you but when all controller is down and some users need to reboot their instances then it won't have ip. This is my worry.

Hello guys.
Sometimes I see that my instances won't get IP from Neutron DHCP Agent.
Is it good if we set a fixed port for instance and set a static ip in the instance's netplan configuration also?
We do this for IPv6 addresses on some of our servers as we've had problems with RAs. It seems to work fine in that case. Ideally, this shouldn't be necessary for any cloud instance though and it might be worth digging into why dhcp isn't working so that it can be corrected.
