RHBA-2017:2655 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Orchestration packages that resolve various issues are
now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10.0 (Newton) for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building, deploying
and monitoring a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Orchestration service

OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify
and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking.
It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn
allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and
applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry alarms to
implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.

Changes to the openstack-heat component:

Cause: In the heat-dist.conf file, the endpoint URLs for the various metadata services were explicitly set to localhost.

Consequence: Resources that use metadata to communicate with deployed servers (such as WaitConditions and SoftwareDeployments) would not work unless the URLs were explicitly overridden in the local config file, even though Heat has the capability to determine these automatically with the Keystone catalog.

Fix: The URLs are now left unset in the heat-dist.conf file.

Result: Heat will automatically determine the correct URLs from the Keystone catalog unless the local config file explicitly overrides them. (BZ#1452677)
