By default, most Openstack services are bound to 0.0.0.0
and service endpoints are registered as IPv4 addresses.
With this change we introduce two new variables to control
this behavior:
SERVICE_IP_VERSION - can either be "4" or "6".
When set to "4" (default if not set) devstack will operate
as today - most services will open listen sockets on 0.0.0.0
and service endpoints will be registered using HOST_IP as the
address.
When set to "6" devstack services will open listen sockets on ::
and service endpoints will be registered using HOST_IPV6 as the
address.
There is no support for "4+6", more work is required for that.
HOST_IPV6 - if SERVICE_IP_VERSION=6 this must be an IPv6
address configured on the system.
Some existing services, like the Openvswitch agent, will continue
to use IPv4 addresses for things like tunnel endpoints. This is
a current restriction in the code and can be updated at a later
time. This change is just a first step to supporting IPv6-only
control and data planes in devstack.
This change is also partly based on two previous patches,
