      Add variables for API VIP address and FQDN · 1862e24b
      Mark Goddard authored
      Kayobe currently supports definition of various different networks -
      public, internal, tunnel, etc. These typically map to a VLAN or flat
      network, with an IP subnet. When a cloud exceeds the size of a single
      VLAN/subnet, this approach no longer works.
      
      One way to resolve this is to have multiple subnets that map to a single
      logical network, and provide routing between them. This is a similar
      concept to neutron's routed networks, but for the control plane.
      
      An issue arising from this is that if different hosts can have different
      network definitions for the internal and public networks, it is no
      longer trivial to use a network attribute [1] to specify the VIP address
      and FQDN. Furthermore, the play that generates Kolla Ansible's
      globals.yml containing the VIP and FQDN variables runs as localhost,
      which does not necessarily have the internal and public networks
      defined.
      
      To resolve this, we add global variables for the VIPs and FQDNs. The
      default values are as before, except in the case where HAProxy is
      disabled, which we no longer provide a useful default for. That
      configuration is very rarely used in practice, and the need to reference
      the IP address of a host in the network group makes it difficult to
      define safely.
