# WARNING: Set this to open IP rules for galera monitoring.
# This is REQUIRED to run a working openstack-ansible deployment.
# If it's undefined the galera cluster state can't be reported,
# and haproxy would fail to do proper load balancing on the cluster.
# Because this opens connections to the cluster status, this
# should be restricted, which we do in the integrated build.
# Please override accordingly to your use case.
# This can be replaced with other hostnames, cidr, ips, and ips + wildcards.

# MariaDB 10.1+ ships with 'PrivateDevices=True' in the systemd unit file. This
# provides some additional security, but it causes problems with systemd 219.
# While the security enhancements are helpful on bare metal hosts with multiple
# services running, they are not as helpful when MariaDB is running in a
# container with its own isolated namespaces.
