VRRP Address Pair

This example will deploy an high available instance pair using VRRP. To get VRRP working we use OpenStack allowed_address_pairs. Allowed Address Pairs the port attribute to enable you to specify arbitrary mac_address/ip_address(cidr) pairs that are allowed to pass-through a port, regardless of the subnet associated with the network.

For managing security groups in terraform normaly the resource openstack_compute_secgroup_v2 is used. For allowing VRRP traffic (IP protocol 112) we need to use openstack_networking_secgroup_v2 and openstack_networking_secgroup_rule_v2 terraform resources instead. A floating IP is associated with the VRRP VIP address.

On instance creation a shell script is injected via cloud-init to setup VRRP (keepalived) and Apache web server on instances.

After running terraform (and wait a bit) open a web browser and a go to http://FLOATING-IP-SHOWN-BY-TERRAFORM.
