Provider networking support in DevStack
In my lab environment, I deploy DevStack on multiple nodes, and use the Neutron provider networking extension API to create networks and subnets that use an external router for L3 functionality. In this configuration, Neutron just provides L2 connectivity for instances.
DevStack currently only supports two networking configurations - a configuration for assisting the Nova baremetal driver, and then the standard Neutron configuration that uses the Neutron L3 agent. As a developer, I need DevStack to support a third configuration where the provider networking extension is used to create Neutron networks and subnets.
This work was originally described on the openstack-dev mailing list, although in general terms:
