How can I integrate OpenStack instances in my local network? I have Devstack Kilo running on a single Ubuntu VM that has its own IP different than the physical host. I assigned as floating IPs a set of IPs from the local network. But I cannot ping neither the external network, nor the local network from the instances.

You need to set up the network on the devstack host to do ip and arp forwarding. This ususally works:

sudo bash
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

This is for an Ubuntu host running devstack - your distro may be a little different, but the ideas are the same.

I wrote a post about doing this a while back. It's for Havana, but the principles are the same: https://barakme.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/openstack-in-a-box-setting-up-devstack-havana-on-your/
