Hi,

Most of the OFFLINE operational status issues are caused by communication
problems between the amphorae and the Octavia health-manager.

In your case, the "Ignoring this packet. Exception: 'NoneType' object has
no attribute 'encode'" log message shows that the health-manager receives
the heartbeat packets from the amphorae but it is unable to decode them.
Those packets are encrypted JSON messages and it seems that the key
([health_manager].heartbeat_key see
https://docs.openstack.org/octavia/latest/configuration/configref.html#health-manager)
used to encrypt those messages is not defined in your configuration file.
So I would suggest configuring it and restarting the Octavia services, then
you can re-create or failover the load balancers (you cannot change this
parameter in a running load balancer).
