[openstack-dev] [ovs] [neutron] openvswitch flows firewall driver

2018-06-10 Thread Tobias Urdin
Hello everybody,
I'm cross-posting this with operators list.

The openvswitch flows-based stateful firewall driver which uses the
conntrack support in Linux kernel >= 4.3 (iirc) has been
marked as experimental for several releases now, is there any
information about flaws in this and why it should not be used in production?

It's still marked as experimental or missing documentation in the
networking guide [1].

And to operators; is anybody running the OVS stateful firewall in
production? (firewall_driver = openvswitch)

Appreciate any feedback :)
Best regards

Hi,

I’m not sure about Queens but recently with [1] we switched default security 
group driver in devstack to „openvswitch”.
Since at least month we have scenario gate job with this SG driver running as 
voting and gating.
Currently, after switch devstack default driver to openvswitch it’s tested in 
many jobs in Neutron.
