how to make instance aware of hes floating IP ... instance always have only private network device and when you configure the floating IP in the VM you lost conectivity.

i guess its because the external netowrk is only in neutron. How do i parse the info from floating IP to VM ?

i got something they do exactly what i want but its from nova networking (got here https://www.mirantis.com/blog/configu... ) : 

public_interface=eth1
default_floating_pool="ext-net"
auto_assign_floating_ip=true

how can i do this with neutron networking ?

Your VM isn't aware of the external ip adress, and it doesn't have to be aware of it. Look at it as if the VM is a machine behind a NAT router, Neutron wires up the external ip address to your VM and handles the address translation.
Your VM is, at OS level, only aware of the internal ip address.

but that is bad for seting up apache server and a lot of other servers configuration ...

so how rackspace does that ?

Dont' really see why that would be bad. virtualhosts in apache implemented using domain names, not ip adresses, there is imho no need to know the actual ip address in your web server, configure everything using the fqdn and you're set.

Floating IP is available via metadata request :-

$curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4

Sample :-

[boris@icehouse1 Downloads]$ ping 192.168.1.172
