Support notes¶
This page describes supportability aspects within the OpenStack Charms project.
Cross model relations¶
Juju relations that are added between applications that reside in separate Juju models are called Cross model relations (CMR). For a Charmed OpenStack deployment, CMR support must also be present in terms of the manner in which the charms are combined. The OpenStack Charms do not generically support CMR.
Important
It is recommended to exercise each new CMR scenario in a lab environment before committing to that topology in production.
The current list of supported CMR scenarios with regard to OpenStack Charms is as follows:
The keystone application in one model, related to the vault application in a second model.
The ceph-mon application in one model, related to the ceph-rbd-mirror application in a second model. This scenario is documented in Ceph RBD mirroring.
A ceph-radosgw application in one model, related to another ceph-radosgw application in a second model. This scenario is documented in Ceph RADOS Gateway multisite replication.
Other scenarios may work but are currently not supported. Distinct development and testing efforts are required in order to qualify each unique CMR scenario.
If you would like to help drive the development work towards implementing a supported CMR scenario file a Launchpad bug describing your use case. To assist in this effort kindly use the cross-model bug tag.
