dreamhost compute problem

[Michael B]

I am trying to use DreamHost openstack interface to create an instance and I am stuck on the issue discussed here:

http://www.raynes.me/logs/irc.freenode.net/pallet/2013-10-24.txt

So the instance is being created but it's not assigned a floating ip, so the 'converge' function is timing out on trying to connect to the instance using the internal ip 10.10.10.4:

00:55:10.740 [user thread 1] WARN  jclouds.compute - << sockets [10.10.10.4:22] didn't open after 600000 MILLISECONDS

I did try the workaround with ':network {:inbound-ports [22]' but it did not help.

I found that it is possible to specify 'AUTO_ALLOCATE_FLOATING_IPS' property as it's done here for HP provider:

HPCloudCompute 

Is it possible to specify this property for the openstack provider in Pallet? Here is my definition:

:openstack  {:provider "openstack-nova"
              :identity "xxx:xxx" ;tenantName:userName
              :credential "xxx"
              :endpoint "https://keystone.dream.io/v2.0"}}

Also, DreamHost docs say that the floating ips should be assigned with neuron service, and not nova service. So it is quite possible that 'AUTO_ALLOCATE_FLOATING_IPS' would not work, but I'd like to give it a try.

Thanks!
