features:
- |
Adds support for Layer 7 switching and shared pools
features to Neutron LBaaS v2. Neutron LBaaS v1 is
unaffected by this new feature.
* Layer 7 policies allow a tenant / user to define
actions the load balancer may take other than
routing requests to the default pool.
* Layer 7 rules control the logic behind whether a
given Layer 7 policy is followed.
* Works for HTTP and TERMINATED_HTTPS listeners.
* Shared pools allow listeners or Layer 7
REDIRECT_TO_POOL policies to share back-end
pools.
upgrade:
- |
Upgrade requires a database migration.
* Shared-pools introduces a new ``loadbalancer_id``
column into the ``lbaas_pools`` table.
* ``lbaas_pools.loadbalancer_id`` column is populated
from ``lbaas_listeners`` data using ETL in the
migration.
* Two new tables are created to handle Layer 7
switching. These are ``lbaas_l7policies`` and
``lbaas_l7rules``.
- |
Driver updates may be required.
* Maintainers of third-party drivers in the neutron-lbaas
code tree will need to update their drivers to take
advantage of the new Layer 7 switching features.
* Pains have been taken to ensure that all interfaces
(both API and internally) are compatible with the
new shared-pools feature. Nevertheless, maintainers of
third-party drivers should double-check their code to
ensure they haven't made assumptions about
listener-pool relationships which are now not true.
