[Bug 1648643] Re: nova-api-metadata ignores firewall driver

 

Confirmed by Jens Rosenboom  on the ML:


I agree with Sam on this. Looking a bit into the code, the mangling part of the
iptables rules is only called in nova/network/l3.py, which seems to happen only
when nova-network is being used. The installation of the global nova-iptables
setup however happens unconditionally in nova/api/manager.py as soon as the
nova-api-metadata service is started, which doesn't make much sense in a
Neutron environment. So I would propose to either make this setup happen
only when nova-network is used or at least allow an deployer to turn it off via
a config option.

Title:
  nova-api-metadata ignores firewall driver

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In my nova.conf I have

  firewall_driver = nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver

  When I start nova-api-metadata it installs some iptables rules (and
  blows away what is already there)

  I want to make it not manage any iptables rules by using the noop
  driver however it has no affect on nova-api-metadata.

  I'm using stable/mitaka although a look at the code in master would
  indicate this affects master too.
