Rocky Series Release Notes

18.0.0.0b1-91

New Features

  • The service setup in keystone for neutron will now be executed through delegation to the neutron_service_setup_host which, by default, is localhost (the deploy host). Deployers can opt to rather change this to the utility container by implementing the following override in user_variables.yml.

    neutron_service_setup_host: "{{ groups['utility_all'][0] }}"
    
  • The role now supports using the distribution packages for the OpenStack services instead of the pip ones. This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by simply setting the neutron_install_method variable to distro.

  • Support separate oslo.messaging services for RPC and Notifications to enable operation of separate and different messaging backend servers in neutron.

Deprecation Notes

  • The variable neutron_requires_pip_packages is no longer required and has therefore been removed.

  • The rabbitmq server parameters have been replaced by corresponding oslo.messaging RPC and Notify parameters in order to abstract the messaging service from the actual backend server deployment. - neutron_oslomsg_rpc_servers replaces neutron_rabbitmq_servers - neutron_oslomsg_rpc_port replaces neutron_rabbitmq_port - neutron_oslomsg_rpc_use_ssl replaces neutron_rabbitmq_use_ssl - neutron_oslomsg_rpc_userid replaces neutron_rabbitmq_userid - neutron_oslomsg_rpc_vhost replaces neutron_rabbitmq_vhost - neutron_oslomsg_notify_servers replaces neutron_rabbitmq_telemetry_servers - neutron_oslomsg_notify_port replaces neutron_rabbitmq_telemetry_port - neutron_oslomsg_notify_use_ssl replaces neutron_rabbitmq_telemetry_use_ssl - neutron_oslomsg_notify_userid replaces neutron_rabbitmq_telemetry_userid - neutron_oslomsg_notify_vhost replaces neutron_rabbitmq_telemetry_vhost

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes neutron HA routers, by enabling neutron-l3-agent to invoke the required helper script.

18.0.0.0b1
