Decouple the hard requirement on neutron-lbaas

Registered by hongbin

Neutron LBaaS is only required on HA setup or the k8s external load balancer feature, otherwise, it is not required. We need to decouple from neutron-lbaas to overcome an adoption challenge reported in Austin design summit: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/newton-magnum-adoption-challenges

Whiteboard

2016-06-02 adrian_otto: we discussed this in IRC today, and reached some consensus on a sensible implementation approach. Overview:

1) Introduce a new baymodel attribute master_lb_enabled, which defaults to False.

2) Adjust the input validation for the master_count attribute on a bay. If the baymodel.master_lb_enabled is False, the only valid value for master_count is 1. If the value is True, any value will be accepted.

3) Select an alternate bay template for heat when master_lb_enabled is set to True. The only additional section of the template in this case should be the cloud resources to set up the load balancing of the master nodes of the COE.

Example (excerpt from magnum/templates/kubernetes/kubemaster.yaml):

  #
  # load balancers.
  #

  api_monitor:
    type: OS::Neutron::HealthMonitor
    properties:
      type: TCP
      delay: 5
      max_retries: 5
      timeout: 5

  api_pool:
    type: OS::Neutron::Pool
    properties:
      protocol: {get_param: loadbalancing_protocol}
      monitors: [{get_resource: api_monitor}]
      subnet: {get_resource: fixed_subnet}
      lb_method: ROUND_ROBIN
      vip:
        protocol_port: {get_param: kubernetes_port}

  api_pool_floating:
    type: OS::Neutron::FloatingIP
    depends_on:
      - extrouter_inside
    properties:
      floating_network: {get_param: external_network}
      port_id: {get_attr: [api_pool, vip, port_id]}

  etcd_monitor:
    type: OS::Neutron::HealthMonitor
    properties:
      type: TCP
      delay: 5
      max_retries: 5
      timeout: 5

  etcd_pool:
    type: OS::Neutron::Pool
    properties:
      protocol: HTTP
      monitors: [{get_resource: etcd_monitor}]
      subnet: {get_resource: fixed_subnet}
      lb_method: ROUND_ROBIN
      vip:
        protocol_port: 2379

...

  api_pool_member:
    type: OS::Neutron::PoolMember
    properties:
      pool_id: {get_param: api_pool_id}
      address: {get_attr: [kube_master_eth0, fixed_ips, 0, ip_address]}
      protocol_port: {get_param: kubernetes_port}

  etcd_pool_member:
    type: OS::Neutron::PoolMember
    properties:
      pool_id: {get_param: etcd_pool_id}
      address: {get_attr: [kube_master_eth0, fixed_ips, 0, ip_address]}
      protocol_port: 2379

Note, we will need to make sure parameters like api_pool_id and etcd_pool_id are only included/used in/with the template used when master_lb_enabled is set to True.
