Description

Neutron is a virtual network service for Openstack, and a part of
Netstack. Just like OpenStack Nova provides an API to dynamically
request and configure virtual servers, Neutron provides an API to
dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks
connect "interfaces" from other OpenStack services (e.g., virtual NICs
from Nova VMs). The Neutron API supports extensions to provide
advanced network capabilities (e.g., QoS, ACLs, network monitoring,
etc.)
.
This charm provides the OpenStack Neutron API OpenContrail agent, managing
L2 connectivity on neutron-api services.

Overview

OpenContrail (www.opencontrail.org) is a fully featured Software Defined
Networking (SDN) solution for private clouds. It supports high performance
isolated tenant networks without requiring external hardware support. It
provides a Neutron plugin to integrate with OpenStack.

This charm is designed to be used in conjunction with the rest of the OpenStack
related charms in the charm store to virtualize the network that Nova Compute
instances plug into.

This subordinate charm provides the Neutron API component which configures
neutron-server for OpenContrail.
Only OpenStack Icehouse or newer is supported.

Usage

Neutron API, Contrail Configuration and Keystone are prerequisite services to
deploy.

Neutron API should be deployed with legacy plugin management set to false:

neutron-api:
  manage-neutron-plugin-legacy-mode: false

Once ready, deploy and relate as follows:

juju deploy neutron-api-contrail
juju add-relation neutron-api neutron-api-contrail
juju add-relation neutron-api-contrail contrail-configuration
juju add-relation neutron-api-contrail keystone
