[1] Install Octavia client tool.
# install from Caracal, EPEL, CRB

[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
dnf --enablerepo=centos-openstack-caracal,epel,crb -y install python3-octaviaclient
[2] Login as any Openstack user and create Loadbalancer instance.
It's OK to work on any node. (example below is on Control Node)
