Floating IP #1

Open schmitch opened 10 years ago

schmitch commented 10 years ago

Currently Dwarf is missing a Floating IP thing. So that you could assign IPs via SNAT as nova-network did.

I'm not sure how much sense this makes in this context. Can you provide a use case?

schmitch commented 10 years ago

One use case would be a Hoster like OVH or Hetzner or any other Hoster with port security on their switches / rotuers. You can't just use a bridged network. You need to have something like the nova-network. (which works very well) or you need to insert the instance IPs via cloud-config which isn't that cool. It's way better to have Floating IPs and assign them automatically as the nova-network did, okai it got replaced with the new networking API in openstack but the new API works as good as the old one.
