Here's my OVN report for the week, since I'll be in a meeting during the
IRC session today.
The "continuation" feature needed as a basis for others is in. Justin
is reviewing the ARP support patches.
I've spent most of the week in meetings, so there's been minimal
progress. I'm currently workin
Hi Ben,
What's the current thinking around the OVSDB HA and scale solution?
Needless to say, the single SB DB to which all ovn-controllers connect
could be a liability in various production scenarios.
Cheers,
Dan

There's a lot of work happening to improve ovsdb performance (both on the
client and server sides). There's testing happening in multiple
environments (physical and simulated) in the hundreds-of-hypervisors
range. Interestingly, most of the bottlenecks we're exposing are on the
client side.
We h
Thanks for the explanation and the link Russell.
Is there a regular meeting where this topic might be discussed?

Yes, we have a weekly OVN IRC meeting in #openvswitch on Freenode on
Thursdays at 10:15 Pacific / 1:15 Eastern.

Cool, see you there.

There are basically two possible paths here. One path is to enhance
OVSDB. The other is to switch to a different distributed database. Of
course, in the latter case the question is "which one?" Until recently,
we weren't seeing much performance or availability pressure on OVSDB, so
it made sens
Understood Ben.
If the central (NB and/or SB) OVSDB were to be replaced, do you think it
would still be preferable to keep the OVSDB protocol between the local
ovn-controller and the central control cluster? Or would it be reasonable
to consider something like XMPP?
Assuming the OVSDB protocol is
It hadn't honestly occurred to me that it was an option to retain the
protocol but change the database. I was assuming that, if OVN switches
to a different database, it would adopt the database's own protocol for
communication to the cluster. Of course, now that you mention it, there
is a degree
I'd argue for the approach of keeping the OVSDB protocol in place, because
the SB schema is already there, well understood, and making the central DB
a fault tolerant cluster would have little or no impact on the
ovs-controller implementation. It would also allow the current single OVSDB
to continu

Hi Russell,
Nice writeup of the issues and potential solutions. We have been thinking
along the same lines.
Cheers,

I would argue for a server-side OVSDB to other backend proxy. I would also
argue against a client side (in ovn-controller) abstraction of the other-db
- one reason for this is related to the security/safety argument, in the
sense that other-db may not have any ACL mechanism, or any way to limit

I see a couple of distinct discussions occurring on this thread, maybe it’s
time to deal with them independently.
The Security/ACL aspect of the protocol - Is there some reason why existing SSL
authentication and encryption mechanisms is not adequate enough for security. I
am not opposed to bui
