Enabling access with floating IP addresses

Make {product-title} API endpoints accessible by attaching two floating IP (FIP) addresses to them: one for the API load balancer (lb FIP), and one for {product-title} applications (apps FIP).

Important
 The load balancer FIP is also used in the install-config.yaml file.
Procedure

  1. Using the {rh-openstack-first} CLI, create a new external network:

    $ openstack floating ip create <external network>

  2. Add a record that follows this pattern to your DNS server:

    api.<cluster name>.<base domain>  IN  A  <lb FIP>
    Note

    If you do not control the DNS server you can add the record to your /etc/hosts file instead. This action makes the API accessible to you only, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing.
Tip

You can make {product-title} resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration.
