Integration of the Octavia module (Load Balancer as a Service) in an OpenStack cloud environment - Part 2

Here is our instance that will be hosted by the load balancer pool:

Starting a small server on instance1:

Now we access the amphora, and we can see that it can reach the server:

Next, we perform a curl on port 80 from our amphora to the pool member instance, and we observe that our instance responds correctly on port 80 with the output from the previously launched server.

Therefore, after these small tests, we can conclude that our Octavia service has been successfully deployed on our OpenStack environment.

To conclude this second part 2, we have successfully validated the functional integration of the Octavia service within our OpenStack architecture. By deploying a backend instance and performing direct tests from the Amphora, we confirmed both network connectivity via ping and application-level communication via HTTP requests.

These successful tests demonstrate that the routing between the load balancer and the pool members is operational, confirming that the Octavia service is correctly deployed and ready to manage traffic in our environment.
