Overview

This principle charm provides the OpenStack Neutron API service which was previously provided by the nova-cloud-controller charm.

When this charm is related to the nova-cloud-controller charm the nova-cloud controller charm will shutdown its api service, de-register it from keystone and inform the compute nodes of the new neutron url.

Usage

To deploy (partial deployment only):

juju deploy neutron-api
juju deploy neutron-openvswitch

juju add-relation neutron-api mysql
juju add-relation neutron-api rabbitmq-server
juju add-relation neutron-api neutron-openvswitch
juju add-relation neutron-api nova-cloud-controller

This charm also supports scale out and high availability using the hacluster charm:

juju deploy hacluster neutron-hacluster
juju add-unit neutron-api
juju set neutron-api vip=<VIP FOR ACCESS>
juju add-relation neutron-hacluster neutron-api

Deploying from source

The minimum openstack-origin-git config required to deploy from source is:

openstack-origin-git: include-file://neutron-juno.yaml

neutron-juno.yaml
    repositories:
    - {name: requirements,
       repository: 'git://github.com/openstack/requirements',
       branch: stable/juno}
    - {name: neutron,
       repository: 'git://github.com/openstack/neutron',
       branch: stable/juno}

Note that there are only two 'name' values the charm knows about: 'requirements' and 'neutron'. These repositories must correspond to these 'name' values. Additionally, the requirements repository must be specified first and the neutron repository must be specified last. All other repostories are installed in the order in which they are specified.

The following is a full list of current tip repos (may not be up-to-date):

openstack-origin-git: include-file://neutron-master.yaml

Restrictions

This charm only support deployment with OpenStack Icehouse or better.

Network Space support

This charm supports the use of Juju Network Spaces, allowing the charm to be bound to network space configurations managed directly by Juju. This is only supported with Juju 2.0 and above.

API endpoints can be bound to distinct network spaces supporting the network separation of public, internal and admin endpoints.

Access to the underlying MySQL instance can also be bound to a specific space using the shared-db relation.

To use this feature, use the --bind option when deploying the charm:

juju deploy neutron-api --bind "public=public-space internal=internal-space admin=admin-space shared-db=internal-space"

alternatively these can also be provided as part of a juju native bundle configuration:

neutron-api:
  charm: cs:xenial/neutron-api
  num_units: 1
  bindings:
    public: public-space
    admin: admin-space
    internal: internal-space
    shared-db: internal-space

NOTE: Spaces must be configured in the underlying provider prior to attempting to use them.

NOTE: Existing deployments using os-*-network configuration options will continue to function; these options are preferred over any network space binding provided if set.
