Enable Octavia on a new OpenStack environment
You can enable Octavia before deploying an OpenStack-based MCP cluster and
automatically deploy it together with other OpenStack components
using the dedicated Jenkins pipeline.
To enable Octavia on a new OpenStack environment:
- While generating a deployment metadata model for your new OpenStack-based
MCP cluster as described in Create a deployment metadata model, select
the following parameters in the Model Designer web UI:
- OVS as a networking engine in the
Infrastructure parameters section
- Openstack octavia enabled in the
Product parameters section
- For MCP versions starting from the 2019.2.8 maintenance update:
- To use the amphora HA mode, set Octavia amphora topology
to
ACTIVE_STANDBY
- To use a spare amphorae pool for the Octavia load balancer, set the
required pool size in Octavia spare amphora pool size
- If you need TLS support with Barbican, select
Barbican enabled in the Product parameters section
- TECHNICAL PREVIEW If you want to enable Octavia Cluster Manager,
select Octavia Cluster Manager in the
Product parameters section
- Proceed with further cluster configuration as required.
Octavia will be deployed during your OpenStack environment deployment
by the dedicated Jenkins pipeline.
