From a05bca5980627e3987913d4ab721f7b0cf018389 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: armando-migliaccio Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 01:39:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add the ability to load a set of service plugins on startup Service plugins are a great way of adding functionality in a cohesive way. Some plugins (e.g. network ip availability or auto_allocate) extend the capabilities of the Neutron server by being completely orthogonal to the core plugin, and yet may be considered an integral part of functionality available in any Neutron deployment. For this reason, it makes sense to include them seamlessly in the service plugin loading process. This patch, in particular, introduces the 'auto_allocate' service plugin for default loading, as we'd want this feature to be enabled for Nova to use irrespective of the chosen underlying core plugin. The feature requires subnetpools, external_net and router, while the first is part of the core, the others can be plugin specific and they must be explicitly advertised. That said, they all are features that any deployment can hardly live without. DocImpact: The "get-me-a-network" feature simplifies the process for launching an instance with basic network connectivity (via an externally connected private tenant network). Once leveraged by Nova, a tenant/admin is no longer required to provision networking resources ahead of boot process in order to successfully launch an instance.
