Luis Henrique Okama updated CLOUDSTACK-7995:
--------------------------------------------
Description:
Originally in Cloudstack, only the root administrator is able to create shared
networks, since it requires a full understanding of the topology to provide
accurate information about the new shared network, e.g. IP range, netmask,
gateway, VLAN ID and so on.
GloboNetwork network plugin provides a much simpler way to create shared
networks, allowing a regular Cloudstack user to create and manage shared
networks by providing name, description and zone/environment in which he or she
wants it to be deployed. This is possible thanks to an external open source API
called GloboNetworkAPI.
The open source 'GloboNetworkAPI' provides a simple way to manage multi-vendor
network equipment, including routers, switches and load balancers. It is
responsible for automatically creating and removing VLAN/networks, allocating
and deallocating IP addresses, applying load balancer rules and many other
features and is equipped with a web interface to easily manage all these
resources.
This proposal includes both the GloboNetwork plugin and the API client
to greatly reduce complexity when dealing with shared networks and allow an
external network hardware to act as router instead of a VirtualRouter.
