Configure Load-Balancer Version 2 ================================= Starting in the OpenStack Liberty release, the `neutron LBaaS v2 API `_ is now stable while the LBaaS v1 API has been deprecated. The LBaaS v2 reference driver is based on Octavia. Phase 1: Create DevStack + 2 nova instances -------------------------------------------- First, set up a vm of your choice with at least 8 GB RAM and 16 GB disk space, make sure it is updated. Install git and any other developer tools you find useful. Install devstack :: git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack cd devstack Edit your ``local.conf`` to look like :: [[local|localrc]] # Load the external LBaaS plugin. enable_plugin neutron-lbaas https://git.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-lbaas enable_plugin octavia https://git.openstack.org/openstack/octavia # ===== BEGIN localrc ===== DATABASE_PASSWORD=password ADMIN_PASSWORD=password SERVICE_PASSWORD=password RABBIT_PASSWORD=password # Enable Logging LOGFILE=$DEST/logs/stack.sh.log VERBOSE=True LOG_COLOR=True SCREEN_LOGDIR=$DEST/logs # Pre-requisite ENABLED_SERVICES=rabbit,mysql,key # Horizon ENABLED_SERVICES+=,horizon # Nova ENABLED_SERVICES+=,n-api,n-cpu,n-cond,n-sch # Glance ENABLED_SERVICES+=,g-api,g-reg # Neutron ENABLED_SERVICES+=,q-svc,q-agt,q-dhcp,q-l3,q-meta # Enable LBaaS v2 ENABLED_SERVICES+=,q-lbaasv2 ENABLED_SERVICES+=,octavia,o-cw,o-hk,o-hm,o-api # Cinder ENABLED_SERVICES+=,c-api,c-vol,c-sch # Tempest ENABLED_SERVICES+=,tempest # ===== END localrc ===== Run stack.sh and do some sanity checks :: ./stack.sh . ./openrc openstack network list # should show public and private networks Create two nova instances that we can use as test http servers: :: #create nova instances on private network nova boot --image $(nova image-list | awk '/ cirros-.*-x86_64-uec / {print $2}') --flavor 1 --nic net-id=$(openstack network list | awk '/ private / {print $2}') node1 nova boot --image $(nova image-list | awk '/ cirros-.*-x86_64-uec / {print $2}') --flavor 1 --nic net-id=$(openstack network list | awk '/ private / {print $2}') node2 nova list # should show the nova instances just created #add secgroup rules to allow ssh etc.. openstack security group rule create default --protocol icmp openstack security group rule create default --protocol tcp --dst-port 22:22 openstack security group rule create default --protocol tcp --dst-port 80:80 Set up a simple web server on each of these instances. ssh into each instance (username 'cirros', password 'cubswin:)') and run :: MYIP=$(ifconfig eth0|grep 'inet addr'|awk -F: '{print $2}'| awk '{print $1}') while true; do echo -e "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\nWelcome to $MYIP" | sudo nc -l -p 80 ; done& Phase 2: Create your load balancers ------------------------------------ :: neutron lbaas-loadbalancer-create --name lb1 private-subnet neutron lbaas-loadbalancer-show lb1 # Wait for the provisioning_status to be ACTIVE. neutron lbaas-listener-create --loadbalancer lb1 --protocol HTTP --protocol-port 80 --name listener1 sleep 10 # Sleep since LBaaS actions can take a few seconds depending on the environment. neutron lbaas-pool-create --lb-algorithm ROUND_ROBIN --listener listener1 --protocol HTTP --name pool1 sleep 10 neutron lbaas-member-create --subnet private-subnet --address 10.0.0.3 --protocol-port 80 pool1 sleep 10 neutron lbaas-member-create --subnet private-subnet --address 10.0.0.5 --protocol-port 80 pool1 Please note here that the "10.0.0.3" and "10.0.0.5" in the above commands are the IPs of the nodes (in my test run-thru, they were actually 10.2 and 10.4), and the address of the created LB will be reported as "vip_address" from the lbaas-loadbalancer-create, and a quick test of that LB is "curl that-lb-ip", which should alternate between showing the IPs of the two nodes.
