Overview
The octavia module is a part of OpenStack, an effort by the OpenStack infrastructure team to provide continuous integration testing and code review for OpenStack and OpenStack community projects not part of the core software. The module its self is used to flexibly configure and manage the scalable load balancer service for OpenStack.
Module Description
The octavia module is a thorough attempt to make Puppet capable of managing the entirety of octavia. This includes manifests to provision region specific endpoint and database connections. Types are shipped as part of the octavia module to assist in manipulation of configuration files.
Setup
What the octavia module affects

puppet module install openstack/octavia
Beginning with octavia
To utilize the octavia module's functionality you will need to declare multiple resources.
Implementation
octavia
octavia is a combination of Puppet manifest and ruby code to delivery configuration and extra functionality through types and providers.
Limitations
- All the octavia types use the CLI tools and so need to be ran on the octavia node.
