Get ip address of instance

The example below shows how the IP address of a compute resource can be defined as an output parameter:

resources:
  my_instance:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    # ...

outputs:
  instance_ip:
    description: IP address of the deployed compute instance
    value: { get_attr: [my_instance, first_address] }
  instance_private_ip:
    description: Private IP address of the deployed compute instance
   value: { get_attr: [my_instance, networks, private, 0] }

i am wondering where does 'first address' come from? i check the document, i did not find this attribute in OS::Nova::Server

"first_address" is an attribute of Heat (Orchestration) Nova plugin/resource. It returns the first network address of the server. This attribute ('first_address') was deprecated back in Apr 11, 2014 and correct usage is to explicitly specify the network name. So, following is an example of correct usage.

{ get_attr: [nova_instance, networks, some-valid-network-name, 0] }

I believe this is configured in case an instance has multiple network interfaces. The first address is normally going to be the default IP and is in the Network associated with the Instance's gateway. For example:

ip1 : 192.168.1.17
ip2 : 192.168.2.17

Gateway:

Default: 192.168.1.1

You could test this out by adding multiple interfaces to an instance and see if the value matches.
