tenant_network_types should be configurable

[Bjoern]

Currently tenant_network_types is dynamically set from the available network type group in ansible.
We actually prefer to tie down one network type instead of accidentally creating vxlans over vlans as example

See code:

rpc_deployment/roles/neutron_common/templates/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
tenant_network_types = {{ network_types|join(',') }}

Would this be something that you'd want to be able to have an optional override for and have it dynamically created if the override was not set, or should do you think it should be a required option that must be set by the user for the deployment?

[Bjoern (bjoern-t)]

I think we should set it to vlan per default and only override at all if no default is set

Setting back to a new state in order to cover it in the next triage discussion.

[Matt Kassawara (ionosphere80)]

I think the order in tenant_network_types depends on the order in which you define networks in openstack_user_config.yml.

[Matt Kassawara (ionosphere80)]

Only the first value in tenant_network_types matters because it defines the default project network type for both administrative and regular (non-privileged) projects. Without changes to the default policy, regular projects can only create this type of network.

[Nolan Brubaker (nolan-brubaker)]

Is this still relevant in Kilo? Could this be defined in a consuming project rather than in openstack-ansible?

[Bjoern (bjoern-t)]

I don't know what a consuming project means but I guess it refers to rpc-openstack. This is still an issue under Kilo but we might be able to install standard overrides whith reveres the order or does not configure vxlan by default

[Kevin Carter (kevin-carter)]

Just as a quick aside the variable is generated from data found in the provider_networks array set in the openstack_user_config.yml it is possible however to override this default by setting the following in user_variables.yml

neutron_ml2_conf_ini_overrides:
  ml2:
    tenant_network_types: <SOME-NETWORK-TYPE>

In this way you can control the exact type of networks available via neutron.

Bjoern -- did you still need this bug open? Feel free to re-open if needed.
