So I have tenatively decided to try and learn how to set up an Openstack cluster. Since I know nothing about Openstack, I have decided to use Cannonical’s implementation of it and set it up using MAAS and Conjure to bootstrap it.
So, starting from the Cannonical Tutorial I am following, I have a box named maas-controller running Ubuntu 18.04 Minimal with sshd installed and configured. The tutorial wants these on a /24 subnet that has no dhcp server configured and specifies that all nodes in the Openstack cluster should have statically assigned IP addresses. For this exercise, I am using the 10.5.0.1/24 block to manage LAN traffic amongst the Openstack cluster nodes, 10.1.0.1/24 to isolate the iDrac/IPMI endpoints, and 10.0.2.1/24 for storage devices.
