SOC 7 multi-region support

Hi, I have a question regarding multi-regions in SOC. I’m studying the docs for SOC 7 and stumbled upon the question, how to deploy a multi-region cloud. That question seems to have no answer yet, so I searched the web and found this line in the release notes of SOC 5:

And then there’s the SOC 7 admin guide with this little piece of information:

I know how to deploy services manually (and create respective endpoints with the required regions), but I don’t find anything on how to deploy multiple regions in SOC. The keystone barclamp contains one “region” value, and that is deployed to all services. Is my understanding correct or am I missing something?

Thanks for any input!

Regards,
Eugen

The region used for the OpenStack endpoints can be configured, leading
the way to multi-region support.[/color]

And then there’s the ‘SOC 7 admin guide’

with this little piece of information:

Also, OpenStack supports multiple regions for scalability. For
simplicity, this guide uses the management network for all endpoint
types and the default RegionOne region.[/color]

I know how to deploy services manually (and create respective endpoints
with the required regions), but I don’t find anything on how to deploy
multiple regions in SOC. The keystone barclamp contains one “region”
value, and that is deployed to all services. Is my understanding correct

Hi Eugen,

Let me see if I can find out something for you.

Best regards

Currently if you change the region, it will remove the one that is
registered.
This was reported as a bug, and appears to be fixed, but not yet released
in any official update yet it seems.

Do you have a use case currently where you need this Multi Region support
for ? If so, I guess it would be best if you could open a SR so we can get
you an official PTF.

Does that answer your question ?

Thanks
Hans

PS: Say hi to Jens from me :wink:

Hans, thank you very much for the quick response!

He says “thanks” :wink:

We don’t have a use case at the moment, but it’s good to know that there’s a solution available.

Thanks again!
