[Rdo-list] Possible bug? Horizon/Floating IPs

[Erich Weiler]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply!  I think we may be talking about two different 
things however...  I'm not looking to release the IP back to the public 
pool, I'm just looking to disassociate from a deleted VM when the 
instance is terminated.  After I terminate the instance, it still shows 
as stuck to the deleted instance, which is kind of pointless.

After I disassociate the floating IP via 'neutron 
floatingip-disassociate', it releases the IP back to my own allocated IP 
list, so I most definitely can re-use that IP for another instance 
easily.  I agree that if I unallocated it with 'neutron 
floatingip-delete', then I may not get it back, but with 'neutron 
floatingip-disassociate' I still own it as a user of a project.

Just checking if the decision was made to stop dissociating the floating 
IPs upon instance termination after Icehouse, or if it was overlooked in 
Kilo?

Thanks for the reply!

cheers,
erich
