Open Stack

Hi
I want to open this topic, to ask for opinions about the best way to 
create bridges for our infra-cloud.

- What do we have now? We have glean configuring successfully the 
network, properly creating a tagged vlan for it, configuring routable 
ip, etc...

- What do we miss? In order for networking to work in OpenStack 
deployment, we need to create a bridge, associating that to our tagged 
vlan. Something like: 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/231757/31/files/elements/infra-cloud-networking/static/etc/network/interfaces.d/br-vlan25.cfg 
(different settings for east)

I want to know what are people thoughts, about the best way to do it. We 
can have several options:
1. Teach glean how to create bridges
2. Be able to pass some chunk of text to glean, that will configure the 
interface with all the fragments we need, instead of composing it using 
the glean parameters. Our final needs are something like:

auto eth0.1598
iface eth0.1598 inet manual
     vlan-raw-device eth0

auto br-vlan1598
iface br-vlan1598 inet static
     bridge_ports eth0.1598
     bridge_hello 2
     bridge_maxage 12
     bridge_stp off
     address 15.126.48.53
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     gateway 15.126.48.2
     post-up ip route add default via 15.126.48.1 dev br-vlan1598

3. Teach glean how to call scripts after some event happens. For 
example, we may want to run an script, after the network in glean has 
been configured, that takes the interface generated by glean, and 
updates the config to include the bridge

4. Do it on ansible or on puppet

5. Any other ideas?

Best
