API must allow VIP to be manually set to ANY valid IP address.
There are cases when it is required to set exact IP addresses for VIPs. Fuel API does not support that for now. It is required to add an ability of setting arbitrary IP address for VIP via API. This will allow the user to override if the automatic allocation doesn’t match their needs or in the case that they want to use external LB. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/fuel/+bug/1482399
API must allow VIP to be manually set to any valid IP address.
User-defined VIP addresses may match some networks known by Fuel or do not match any known networks. Anyway, VIP address provided is saved into DB as occupied. So, it cannot be used for other purposes.
Changes are proposed for API and CLI only. Spec for UI changes should be created separately if such changes will be required.

API will be extended to provide an ability to set VIP to almost any valid IP address. Data model is changed also so that VIP address and namespace are saved into DB. Also, there is a new flag in ip_addrs table that determines whether to allocate IP for that VIP automatically or not. Address allocation methods for VIPs should be changed to skip allocation of IP for VIP if user configured it with manually set IP. Validation should be added before deployment that all VIPs have IPs either assigned automatically or by user.
Full checking and auto-allocation of VIPs will be done only before deployment start.
VIPs allocation procedure should not overwrite information in DB (IP, namespace) if it was set by user already: - if is_user_defined is True ip_addr is not overwritten, - vip_namespace is not overwritten, - is_user_defined is not overwritten.
ip_addrs table:
vip_type is actually a VIP name since 7.0 release. is_user_defined is a new boolean field, False by default. It determines whether IP is allocated automatically (False) or it is set by user (True). vip_namespace now represents namespace from VIP description (inside network roles) and we need to have it changeable as VIPs with manually set IPs can be the external resources (external LB) which should not be set up with manifests.
Setting of IP addresses for VIPs will be allowed via urls: /clusters/<cluster_id>/network_configuration/ips/vips/, /clusters/<cluster_id>/network_configuration/ips/<ip_id>/vips/.
/ips/ is introduced here as root qualifier because it can be used later not for VIPs only, i.e. for nodes addresses and other reserved IPs. There will be GET and PUT(PATCH) requests for both single object and collection and POST requests for collection only.
Only ip_addr, vip_namespace and is_user_defined fields can be changed via PUT requests. It should be possible to pass full output of GET request to the input of PUT request (as for other handlers). Check for read-only fields should be done in API validator.
Post requests will allow to create (allocate) VIPs in data base with user defined IP. ip_addr, vip_namespace, network must be passed in the requests body. Validation will be added to ensure that. Creation of VIP with new name is out of scope. is_user_defined flag may not be supplied in request body in which case it will be set automatically by Nailgun. If the flag is passed it cannot be false.
The following fields of ip_addrs table should be serialized:
fields = (
"id",
"network",
"node",
"ip_addr",
"vip_name",
"vip_namespace",
"is_user_defined"
)
Example of serialized data (yaml):
---
- id: 5
network: 3
node: null
ip_addr: 192.169.1.33
vip_name: public
vip_namespace: haproxy
is_user_defined: false
node is always null for VIP.
Fuel CLI should support operations with VIPs:
Get VIP by its id.
fuel vip –env 1 –ip 1 –download
Set VIP parameters by its id.
fuel vip –env 1 –ip 1 –upload ip_address.yaml
TBD, do we need this separate request. Seems, Id from yaml should be ignored here.
Get all VIPs for environment, optional filter by network/network role.
fuel vip –env 1 –download
fuel vip –env 1 –download –network 1
fuel vip –env 1 –download –network-role “public/vip”
Set VIPs parameters by their ids (within one environment).
fuel vip –env 1 –upload ip_address.yaml
Arbitrary number of existing VIPs for given environment can be changed via this command.
ip_address.yaml is the default file name where VIP (IPAddress) information is stored.

In order to verify the quality of new features, automatic system tests will be expanded by the cases listed below:
It should be allowed to set user-defined IP for any VIP. This IP can even be out of any environment’s networks.
