Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 22:19:06 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/access-vms-via-port-mapping.

Description:

This blueprint is proposed to supply an easy & fast method for accessing virtual machines created in Openstack. Currently two approaches are supported in Openstack: Floating IP and VPN. However, the former is limited by the number of available public IPs and the latter one is relatively complex to config. This blueprint is based on the observation that the unused ports of the public IP can be dynamically mapped to different VMs in order to supply a access path. 

As designed in this blueprint, VMs can be access via a combination of a public ip + different ports. It can be used in ssh and vnc/spice based remote desktop.
