ovn-northd
`
We provide our own systemd service files with this change. To be able to pass the correct command line arguments to ``ovn-nortrhd`` we need to create a ``/etc/openvswitch/ovn-northd-db-params.conf`` which has the side effect of profoundly changing the behaviour of the ``ovn-ctl`` tool that the ``ovn-central`` init script makes use of. The systemd service files should be upstreamed. Also fix the ``ovn-remote`` setting in the local OVSDB, handy for executing management tools on the units. Update documentation.

Overview
This charm provides the Northbound and Southbound OVSDB Databases and the
Open Virtual Network (OVN) central control daemon (ovn-northd
).
Note
: The OVN charms are considered preview charms.
Usage
OVN makes use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to authenticate and authorize
control plane communication. The charm requires a Certificate Authority to be
present in the model as represented by the certificates
relation.
There is a OVN overlay bundle for use in conjunction with the OpenStack Base bundle which give an example of how you can automate certificate lifecycle management with the help from Vault.
Please refer to the Open Virtual Network section of the OpenStack Charms Deployment Guide for information about deploying OVN with OpenStack.
Network Spaces support
This charm supports the use of Juju Network Spaces.
By binding the ovsdb
, ovsdb-cms
and ovsdb-peer
endpoints you can
influence which interface will be used for communication with consumers of
the Southbound DB, Cloud Management Systems (CMS) and cluster internal
communication.
juju deploy ovn-central --bind "''=oam-space ovsdb=data-space"
