[Bug 1316271] Re: Network Security: VM hosts can SSH to compute node

 

Agreed by core team that this is mostly a deployment topology issue, and
nova-network was never designed to address it. Will not fix it.

** Changed in: nova
    Milestone: kilo-2 => None

Bug description:
  Hi guys,

      We're still using nova-network and we'll be using it for a while
  and we noticed that the VM guests can contact the compute nodes on all
  ports ... The one we're the most preoccupied with is SSH.   We've
  written the following patch in order to isolate the VM guests from the
  VM hosts.
