Network pool + Cloud Init
-
I have created a network pool and am wanting to use the assigned address from the pool in my cloud-init network configuration. I have successfully created a cloud configuration, and a network configuration to use with my template. But I am not sure how to reference the pool assigned IP address from within my network configuration.
Like the
{name}variable in the cloud config, I'm expecting there to be some kind of{address}variable for the network config.How are people doing this?
Thanks in advance.
And at the risk of being an annoying n00b, based on the reading I have done in the forum, tagging @fohdeesha here in case since he seems to know this stuff

Anyone have any ideas?

@brm Hmm, I actually am not sure if we ever added support for this specifically (specifying an IP from IP pools in a cloud-init configuration). I've never seen IP variables used or referenced so I don't think it's currently possible. @olivierlambert who was it on the team that implemented the IP Pools feature?

@olivierlambert Nope,
{address}is not supported in the cloud configs.AFAIK, there is no IP configuration done during VM creation, what value should it take?
-
There's no value outside Cloudinit yes, because the IP address is something for "inside" the VM and not for the virt platform.
-
Cloud configs allow
{{name}}%substitutions. From my perspective (as a user), for how{{name}}is used in my cloud configs something like{{address}}would be identical.What is the intended use case for the IPAM functionality in XOA if it can't be used like this? Real question, not trolling
