Fuel MidoNet plugin is capable of deploying MidoNet v2015.06 on top of Mirantis OpenStack Fuel version 7.0 (including Maintenance Update 2). There are no prerequisites to use the MidoNet plugin: MidoNet is Open Source, and the plugin sets the repositories from where download and install MidoNet packages.

Limitations
- The plugin has some limitations regarding node count scalability for NSDB (Network State Database) and OpenStack Controller role nodes. Once number of nodes with such roles have been determined on initial deployment, it can not be changed. Compute role nodes are not affected by this limitation, current plugin version supports Compute scalability.
- Current version of plugin can only deploy single MidoNet Gareway role node. MidoNet itself supports any number of gateway nodes, it is only a plugin limitation, additional nodes needs to be set up manually.
- The plugin works with Mirantis OpenStack deployed on Ubuntu 14.04.x operating system environment.
