Hello,

Neutron cells aware is not equal to multi-site. There are lots of multi-site 
deployment options, not limited to nova-cells, whether to use 
Neutron-cells/Nova-cells in multi-site deployments, it's up to cloud operator's 
choice. For the bug[3], it's reasonable to make neutron support cells, but it 
doesn't implicate that multi-site should mandatory adopt neutron-cells.

There are also a number of site limited deployments which use nova cells to 
support scalability within the site rather than only between sites. CERN has 
around 50 cells for the 2 data centre deployment we have.

There is also no need to guarantee a 1-to-1 mapping between nova cells and 
neutron cells. It may be simpler to do it that way but something based on the 
ML2 subnet would also seem a reasonable way to organise the neutron work while 
many sites use nova cells based on one hardware type per cell, for example.

Armando,

I noticed that Tricircle is mentioned there.  Shouldn’t be better to extend its 
current functionality or what are the things that are missing there?

Tricircle aims at coordinating independent neutron systems that exist in 
separated openstack deployments. Making Neutron cell-aware will work in the 
context of the same openstack deployment.

Subject: [openstack-dev] [neutron] multi-site forum discussion

Hi folks,

At the summit we had a discussion on how to deploy a single neutron system 
across multiple geographical sites [1]. You can find notes of the discussion on 
[2].

One key requirement that came from the discussion was to make Neutron more Nova 
cells friendly. I filed an RFE bug [3] so that we can move this forward on 
Lauchpad.

Please, do provide feedback in case I omitted some other key takeaway.

Thanks,
Armando
