AKO Deployment in OpenStack

Overview

Starting with AKO version 1.7.1, you can deploy AKO with NSX Advanced Load Balancer (previously known as Avi Vantage). This article shows how AKO can be deployed in an OpenStack cloud.

Configuring NSX Advanced Load Balancer

See Installing Avi Vantage for OpenStack for step-by-step instructions.

Note: The OpenStack tenants are synced with the AVI tenants automatically.

Configuring AKO

See Installing Avi Vantage for OpenStack for step-by-step instructions.

In the vipNetworkList field, specify the Network ID to be specified and not the name of the network. The values.yaml can be updated as follows:

vipNetworkList:
    - networkName: 123ab456-1234-1abc-1234-1ab34cde5678
      cidr: 10.1.2.0/24

Note: Ensure that tenant to be used with AKO is specified using the tenantName field. If the tenant is not specified, AKO will use the admin tenant as configured in the Controller by default.
