Description bigswitch 2016-10-04 18:53:43 UTC

Description of problem:
Today, during the overcloud deployment we use compute.yaml file to configure the bridges/bonds/interfaces for the compute. We have a need where-in we have hybrid compute nodes which run different type of virtual switch (IVS/NFVSwitch). Hence, we need a way to tag a compute node (as IVS or NFVSwitch) and have a different set of YAML file be applied to them to setup their networking.

Dmitry, this is possible in OSP 10/newton with composable roles, correct?

Comment 2 Dmitry Tantsur 2016-10-22 15:00:09 UTC

Hi! I'm the worst possible person to ask about composable roles :) Redirecting your question to Dan.

Comment 3 Dan Sneddon 2016-10-25 12:15:16 UTC

Composable roles make it easier to have multiple compute roles, but it still requires some customization of the THT templates. We need to document this process. I'll work on gathering the info into an Etherpad or something temporarily, then we need to put that info into the documentation.

Dan,  when you have the details, can you share it here as well, either with an upstream docs review or just copy/paste?

Thanks

Steven Hardy's public blog post probably covers this better than I can myself:

This feature - composable networks in conjunction with composable roles - is being actively worked on and is tracked here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406102

I'm marking this as a duplicate so that the progress can be tracked in one BZ.
