Open Stack

Adding my own input:

1. You should be able to add a specific role that the service accounts
octavia will have.  Then that role can be added to neutron and nova's
policy.json.  I have not tested this out but that is just a quick off
the top of my head solution.

2. What johnsom said.  Not ideal for large deployments but for large
deployers, custom tooling would probably be written for that.

3. Right now in devstack, the mgmt net is a single tenant network owned
by the octavia service account.  This means that a lot of deployments
would be limited to ~250 ports on that network (at least from our own
experience and other's we have talked to).  Deployers can also specify
that the mgmt network is a provider network which may not have that port
restriction.

Alternatively, we could create a mgmt net for each load balancer or each
tenant.  I feel like this would have scaling issues but I haven't
thought about it enough honestly.  Oh, one reason would be because,
right now, all controllers would have to be connected to all the mgmt
nets.  We've actually talked about how to solve this internally, but it
was more just impromptu whiteboarding sessions.

Thanks,
Brandon
