[openstack-dev] [neutron][group-based-policy] Should we revisit the priority of group-based policy?

2014-05-22 Thread Maru Newby
At the summit session last week for group-based policy, there were many concerns voiced about the approach being undertaken. I think those concerns deserve a wider audience, and I'm going to highlight some of them here. The primary concern seemed to be related to the complexity of the approach

I would second Maru's concerns, and I would also like to add the following: We need to acknowledge the fact that there are certain architectural aspects of Neutron as a project that need to be addressed; at the summit we talked about the core refactoring, a task oriented API, etc. To me these item

Maru's concerns are that: 1. It is large 2. It is complex And Armando's related concerns are: 3. Could dev/review cycles be better spent on refactoring 4. If refactored neutron was available, would a simpler option become more viable Let me address them in that order. 1. Re: It is large Group po

Hi Armando: Those are good points. I will let Bob Kukura chime in on the specifics of how we intend to do that integration. But if what you see in the prototype/PoC was our final design for integration with Neutron core, I would be worried about that too. That specific part of the code (events/not

Thanks Paul. Feedback like this, from actual users of neutron in large deployments, is the very reason why I feel so strongly that we need to keep this a high priority work item. Regards, Mandeep On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 9:28 AM, CARVER, PAUL wrote: > Mohammad Banikazemi wrote: > > >in Atlant

Hi Bob, The approach towards having the neutron.manager.NeutronManager provide access to the Controller classes seems like something worth exploring for the shorter term. Thanks, ~Sumit. On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 12:31 PM, Robert Kukura wrote: > > On 5/23/14, 12:46 AM, Mandeep Dhami wrote: > > Hi
