features:
|
||
|
- |
|
||
|
Make the metadata service available over the IPv6 link-local
|
||
|
address ``fe80::a9fe:a9fe``. Metadata over IPv6 works on both
|
||
|
isolated networks and networks with an IPv6 subnet connected
|
||
|
to a Neutron router as well as on dual-stack and on IPv6-only
|
||
|
networks. There are no new config options. The usual config
|
||
|
options (``enable_isolated_metadata``, ``force_metadata``,
|
||
|
``enable_metadata_proxy``) now control the metadata service over
|
||
|
both IPv4 and IPv6. This change only affects the guests' access to
|
||
|
the metadata service over tenant networks. This feature changes
|
||
|
nothing about how the metadata-agent talks to Nova's metadata service.
|
||
|
The guest OS is expected to pick up routes from Router Advertisements
|
||
|
for this feature to work on networks connected to a router.
|
||
|
At least the following IPv6 subnet modes work:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* ``--ipv6-ra-mode slaac --ipv6-address-mode slaac``
|
||
|
* ``--ipv6-ra-mode dhcpv6-stateless --ipv6-address-mode dhcpv6-stateless``
|
||
|
* ``--ipv6-ra-mode dhcpv6-stateful --ipv6-address-mode dhcpv6-stateful``
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that the metadata IPv6 address (being link-local)
|
||
|
is not complete without a zone identifier (in a Linux guest
|
||
|
that is usually the interface name concatenated after a percent
|
||
|
sign). Please also note that in URLs you should URL-encode
|
||
|
the percent sign itself. For example, assuming that the primary
|
||
|
network interface in the guest is ``eth0`` the base metadata URL is
|
||
|
``http://[fe80::a9fe:a9fe%25eth0]:80/``.
|
||
|
upgrade:
|
||
|
- |
|
||
|
The metadata over IPv6 feature makes each dhcp-agent restart
|
||
|
trigger a quick restart of dhcp-agent-controlled metadata-proxies,
|
||
|
so they can pick up their new config making them also bind to
|
||
|
``fe80::a9fe:a9fe``. These restarts make the metadata service
|
||
|
transiently unavailable. This is done in order to enable the metadata
|
||
|
service on pre-existing isolated networks during an upgrade. Please
|
||
|
also note that pre-existing instances may need to re-acquire all
|
||
|
information acquired over Router Discovery and/or DHCP for this
|
||
|
feature to start working.
