Description Elvira 2022-06-30 14:36:05 UTC
Right now, we set a single domain name per deployment, stated in the neutron
configuration file. However, there are use cases where it is useful to provide
more granularity to DNS, like at a network or port level where the dns_domain
attribute exists. The goal of this RFE is to support DNS domains at a network
level just in the ML2/OVN driver by adding a new extension.
This is a feature that has been requested by customers.

There are several use cases for this:
* In a multitenant environment, different users working on different projects
  use common hostnames for their VMs, which leads to a FQDN conflict. Users
  don’t have to know the hostnames other VMs have, so they could generate an
  unexpected FQDN clash.
* In a multitenant environment, users working in an application with different
  stages might want to re-use hostnames and make a distinction on the domain.
  Example: app001.uat.example.com (for UAT) vs app001.prd.example.com (for
  Production) both have the same hostname.
