Hi Greg, Now it is not mandatory to have lbaas in Magnum. Here is blueprint in Magnum that aims to decouple lbaas from Magnum https://blueprints.launchpad.net/magnum/+spec/decouple-lbaas. You can use flag –master-lb-enabled in baymodel to specify whether you want lbaas or not. However it just allows you to disable lbaas when master count is 1.

I’m relatively new to looking at Magnum. Just recently played with Magnum in devstack on Newton. I noticed that the HEAT Stack used by Magnum created Load Balancer Pool and Load Balancer HealthMonitor. QUESTION … Is LBAAS support mandatory for MAGNUM ? or can it be used (configured) without it ? i.e. if the OpenStack distribution being used does NOT support LBAAS, will MAGNUM work ? will it still be useful ? ( … thinking that it could still be used, although would not support the load balancing across scaled or multiple instances of a container … ) Greg. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
