[Neutron][OVN][RFE] internal DNS support
Last modified: 2018-06-27 09:38:32 EDT
Description of problem: Neutron provides the capability to assign DNS names to ports through the DNS extension. Historically that was automatic, and now nova uses the DNS extension in neutron when found to fill in the dns details. While Core OVN is capable of responding to DNS queries and forwarding them as necessary networking-ovn mechanism driver doesn't still implement that. It'd be highly desirable for parity reasons to support that feature. https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/adabd65ddd8217cf1a27f654136ff74d4fd544bf/ovn/ovn-nb.ovsschema#L48 https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/adabd65ddd8217cf1a27f654136ff74d4fd544bf/ovn/ovn-nb.ovsschema#L288 Expected outcome: Support of the dns neutron extension, and enablement of the dns related tests.
Some examples of how to configure it at OVN level: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/adabd65ddd8217cf1a27f654136ff74d4fd544bf/tests/ovn.at#L6598 As per @numans explanation, this feature works by capturing any DNS request, and responding locally on OVN controller if we have an answer, otherwise the packet is released back to the openflow pipeline and will reach the normal DNS server if that was configured via DHCP. One thing that we could have here missing compared to neutron is the ability to do inverse resolution, but that could be easily added to core-ovn later.
