So I validated what from my point of view seems to be the most "supported" way to boot an Openstack instance in PXE :
- add the flavor the extra specs "hw:boot_menu = 1" (thanks Sean) - spawn the instance - configure the extra_dhcp_opts of the associated port (thanks Christian). Its not supported with the CLI, but doable with an sdk, below a Pythonic example [1] - reboot the instance, hit esc at the bios prompt then third choice (iPXE)
This allows the use of the Openstack DHCP and to keep port security enabled, which is nice.

Hi, It really is supported by the cli. I've done this way: openstack port create ${MACHINE} --network oci-boot-network \ --extra-dhcp-option \ name=tftp-server,value=$<ip>,ip-version=4 \ --extra-dhcp-option \ name=bootfile-name,value=http://<ip>/oci/ipxe.php,ip-version=4 \ --fixed-ip subnet=subname,ip-address=<fixed-ip> At the present moment, I have a working OCI [1] functional CI that works with non-admin OpenStack credentials (just a normal user). I hope to be able to share this very soon, so that anyone can try without too much hassle. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo) [1] https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/debian/openstack-cluster-installer
