>From the etherpad: "Some of the API only every supported nova-network and not neutron, others supported both. I think as a first pass because of limited time we just port them from V2 as-is. Longer term I think we should probably remove neutron back-end functionality as we shouldn't be proxying, but can decide that later." While I like the idea of not proxying neutron, since we are taking the time to create a new API we should make it clear that this API won't work when neutron is being used. There have been some nova network commands that pretend to work even when running neutron (quotas etc). Perhaps this should be treated as a V3 extension since we don't expect all deployments to run this API. The user befit to proxying neutron is an API that works for both nova-network and neutron. So a cloud can disable the nova-network API after the neutron migration instead of being forced to do so lockstep with the migration. To continue supporting this perhaps we should see if we can get neutron to implement its own copy of nova-network v3 API. > > There's a lot to be done in a rather short period of time so any help with > patches/reviews would be very welcome. > > Also I'd appreciate any feedback on what might be considered a reasonable > minimal subset of nova-network API support for icehouse so we can better > prioritise what gets done first. > > Regards, > > Chris > > > _______________________________________________ > OpenStack-dev mailing list > OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
