Ihar and Kevin,
As our potential future PTLs, I would like to draw your attention to one
of the critical issue regarding Neutron as "the" networking service in
OpenStack.
I keep hearing off and on that Neutron is not flexible to address many
networking use cases and hence a new (or additional) networking project
is needed. For example, to address the use cases around NFV (rigid
resource inter-dependencies). Another one keeps popping up is that it
is very hard/difficult to add/enhance Neutron API - hence, I picked this
one goal called out in Ihar's candidacy.
I would really like us to discuss this issue head-on and see what is
missing in Neutron APIs and what would take to make them extensible so
that vendors do not run around trying to figure out alternative
solutions....
Big +1 from me on the above. Please work with the API working group, too!
Best,
-jay
* Explore alternative ways to evolve Neutron API. Piling up
extensions and allowing third parties to completely change core
resource behaviour is not ideal, and now that api-ref and API
consolidation effort in neutron-lib are closer to completion, we may
have better answers to outstanding questions than during previous
attempts to crack the nut. I would like to restart the discussion some
time during Pike.
Thanks for attention,
Ihar
