Suggest to add router in OpenStack about docs-bosh HOT 4 CLOSED

Something else.

In the documentation for OpenStack, why the bosh.yml template use a manual private network configuration and in the tutorial, we are creating a sub-network with DHCP pool?

In facts, with this configuration, each time you start the deploy command (many time if there is something wrong), the vm take the next IP address in the pool and you have to change this IP in the bosh.yml

I think a template for dynamic network is more suitable in this case. It isn't?

Thank you!

@romain-pierre Thanks for the feedback on the documentation. I'll add some more description for how to create the network and router you're installing BOSH into.

Concerning the issue with DHCP, the current setup is fine and works as intended. The DHCP server in the network is not used to pick the IP address for the BOSH Director. The static ip you put into your bosh-init manifest will be used to boot a VM in openstack similarly to nova boot --ipv4-fixed-ip, so even if your network has a DHCP server, BOSH will select the IP address and therefore it will stay the same throughout re-deployments.

To learn more about BOSH networking, you can have a look at the networks section in the documentation. It describes the default type of networks (called manual networks) and how to make use of your IaaS DHCP server with dynamic networks.
