Octavia uses an ipv4 subnet (/16) for its management network. When dealing with Edge deployments, it needs additional subnets (networks) with similar parameters (/16), so it requires the pre-allocation of a lot of routable IP addresses and it may be complicated to find an unused /16 private range. To mitigate this issue, Octavia should be able to use a private ipv6 subnet for the management network. This ipv6 management network would not be enabled by default, but an option in Tripleo would enable it. Additional considerations: - need to think about the update from an ipv4 to an ipv6 management network - need to add a CI job with this option
According to our records, this should be resolved by tripleo-ansible-3.3.1-1.20230518201535.el9ost. This build is available now.
