* the floating IPs situation may not work on non-externally routed IPs. this may be why they set up a 179. "public" network by detafult in the RDO setup. i deleted that network
* the external network needs to be "flagged" as external. this cannot be done with the UI, but i am told the juno release has a feature where attribute editing. so that the external attribute can be set to Yes. once that is done, MAYBE the system allows floating IPs in that network even if the IP range is not externally routable
* the next thing is to be able to bridge the connections reliably. there is link at the end of the RDO quickstart page on "how to use it with your existing network" however, when i did this (editing config files in a potentially messy way), it worked, but a reboot would not bring the network up. this may be a centos issue, not sure, but a network restart was needed. this is a must to be able to funnel traffic from outside (the floating ips) to the inside VMs.
* basically understand what it takes to get an image created, seasoned, and how we need to maintain these over long periods. i think the main workhorse is qcow2 tools.
* these images are like "snapshots" in some way, but a snapshot is frozen and cannot be tweaked.
