Hi,
I can ssh into the instance now but I noticed the VM does not have any external network access (internet).
Before I dig any deeper into that problem, does anyone know what configuration i need to set up for that ?
I already added 2 new security rules to make sure I can access HTTP and HTTPS ports (80 and 443), in vain :
Ingress   IPv4  TCP   80 (HTTP)   0.0.0.0/0
Ingress   IPv4  TCP   443 (HTTPS)   0.0.0.0/0


Thanks.

Thanks very much for your help.
Before you replied, I tried what you wrote but on the wrong interfaces :
enp0s3 and virbr0.
I had no idea I needed to add the IP address from the public network's subnet on the br-ex interface.
So to ping/ssh the floating IP this is what I did :
ip link set dev br-ex up
ip link set dev br-ex state up
sudo ip addr add 172.24.4.254/24 dev br-ex
And then I can finally ping the floating IP :
ping 172.24.4.133
And I can also ssh into the VM :
ssh cirros@172.24.4.133

Thanks again :)

If You are trying to ping Floating IP directly from the host where devstack is
installed (Virtualbox VM in Your case IIUC) then You should first have those
floating IP addresses somehow reachable on the host, otherwise traffic is
probably going through default gateway so is going outside the VM.
If You are using ML2/OVN (default in Devstack) or ML2/OVS You probably have in
the openvswitch bridge called br-ex which is used to send external network
traffic from the OpenStack networks in Devstack. In such case You can e.g. add
some IP address from the public network's subnet on the br-ex interface, like
192.168.233.254/24 - that will tell Your OS to reach that subnet through br-
ex, so traffic will be able to go "into" the OVS managed by Neutron.
