Configuring the Network Load Balancing Service (Optional)
---------------------------------------------------------
The OpenStack Networking Service, Neutron, includes a Load Balancer as a
Service (LBaaS). This service lets you configure a load balancer that runs
outside of your instances and directs traffic to your instances. A common use
case is when you want to use multiple instances to serve web pages and want to
meet high performance or availability goals.
OpenStack-Ansible currently provides the OpenStack Neutron LBaaS service using
HAProxy as the load balancer.
The following procedure describes how to modify the
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` file to enable LBaaS.
#. Override the default list of Neutron plugins used in order to include
``neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPlugin``:
.. code-block:: yaml
neutron_plugin_base:
- neutron.services.l3_router.l3_router_plugin.L3RouterPlugin
- neutron.services.metering.metering_plugin.MeteringPlugin
- neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPlugin
#. Execute the Neutron install playbook in order to update the configuration
of the Neutron Agents:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-neutron-install.yml
#. Execute the Horizon install playbook in order to update the Horizon
configuration to show the LBaaS panels:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-horizon-install.yml
The LBaaS default configuration options may be changed through the
`conf override`_ mechanism using the ``neutron_lbaas_agent_ini_overrides``
dict.
