Mark Goddard ced8a4a528 Support linux bridge in addition to OVS
While OVS was used initially due to availability of a
networking-generic-switch driver for it, Linux bridge can be useful for
environments where OVS is not available.

This is configured via bridge_type variable. It defaults to
'openvswitch', but may be set to 'linuxbridge'.

Tenks

Tenks is a utility that manages virtual bare metal clusters for development and testing purposes. It offers:

  • Declarative definition of clusters using Ansible's familiar YAML syntax
  • Automated creation and deletion of virtualised bare metal nodes across any number of hypervisors
  • In-built management of Open vSwitch bridges for physical networks
  • Registration of nodes and ports with OpenStack Ironic, and creation of OpenStack Nova flavors
  • Simple cluster reconfiguration and tear-down

To get started with Tenks, see the documentation (linked below).
