Description Nir Magnezi 2018-05-13 13:24:44 UTC
Description of problem:
=======================
Octavia creates Amphorae (service VMs) under an operator configured project (tenant). In TripleO, we currently use 'service' project by default.
Each Amphora instance has its own tap device in a shared management subnet named lb-mgmt-subnet. That subnet is concealed under the 'service' project and cannot be accessed by non-privileged users.

TripleO creates that subnet during the Octavia deployment process. Currently, it is created as a class B subnet with allocation_pools that essentially limit the number of address in that subnet to 150.
Which means, globally for a given OpenStack deployment:
- 150 Amphorae ==> 150 Loadbalancers if the Amphora topology is SINGLE
- 150 Amphorae ==> 75 Loadbalancers if the Amphora topology is ACTIVE_STANDBY

Here's how it currently looks (snipped):


+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field             | Value                                |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| allocation_pools  | 192.168.199.50-192.168.199.200       |
| cidr              | 192.168.199.0/24                     |
| created_at        | 2018-05-07T09:14:36Z                 |
| enable_dhcp       | True                                 |
| gateway_ip        | 192.168.199.1                        |
| ip_version        | 4                                    |
| name              | lb-mgmt-subnet                       |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
=============================================================
OSP13 2018-05-10.3 openstack-tripleo-common-8.6.1-9 

How reproducible:
=================
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy OpenStack with Octavia via TripleO
2.
3.

Actual results:
===============
As mentioned above.

Expected results:
=================
We should have a much larger subnet such as class B, so the global amount of Octavia loadbalancers won't constrained to a very low number.
