Openstack networking modes supported

[Alok Jani <al...@gmail.com>]

Greetings,
I've been reading through the installation notes regarding an Openstack
based install but was unable to find any reference to a preferred/tested
version for Stratos 4.0.

It appears from cloud-controller.xml that the provider is set to Nova
Networking.
Would the 4.0 version work with Neutron networking ?

Thanks
AJ

Rajkumar, Imesh,
Thank You for the quick response and directing me to the current alpha.
The above link was precisely what I was searching for.

Looking forward to the 4.1.0 release.

Cheers

Hi Alok,

AFAIK, Stratos 4.0.0 is thoroughly tested in Openstack with nova networking
environment. But I used neutron networking environment without any issues.

Yes it will work.

However you will not get some features of Neutron Networking like
assigning floating IPs to specific ports and so on. The reason is Stratos
4.0.0 uses jclouds' nova networking APIs which is not capable of doing
these special networking operations.

In Stratos 4.1.0 we are using both nova networking APIs and neutron
networking APIs of jclouds. You can set either nova networking or neutron
networking in cloud-controller.xml. If you set it to neutron networking,
Stratos will use jclouds' neutron networking APIs. So Stratos 4.1.0 has
some special features like assigning multiple network interfaces to
instances and assigning floating IPs to specific network interfaces. Refer
[1] for more details on this.

Please let us know if you need more information.
