Neutron Formula
===============

Neutron is an OpenStack project to provide "networking as a service" between
interface devices (e.g., vNICs) managed by other Openstack services (e.g.,
nova).

Starting in the Folsom release, Neutron is a core and supported part of the
OpenStack platform (for Essex, we were an "incubated" project, which means use
is suggested only for those who really know what they're doing with Neutron).

Sample Pillars
==============

Neutron Server on the controller node

.. code-block:: yaml

    neutron:
      server:
        enabled: true
        version: mitaka
        allow_pagination: true
        pagination_max_limit: 100
        bind:
          address: 172.20.0.1
          port: 9696
        database:
          engine: mysql
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 3306
          name: neutron
          user: neutron
          password: pwd
        identity:
          engine: keystone
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 35357
          user: neutron
          password: pwd
          tenant: service
          endpoint_type: internal
        message_queue:
          engine: rabbitmq
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 5672
          user: openstack
          password: pwd
          virtual_host: '/openstack'
        metadata:
          host: 127.0.0.1
          port: 8775
          password: pass
        audit:
          enabled: false

Note: The pagination is useful to retrieve a large bunch of resources,
because a single request may fail (timeout). This is enabled with both
parameters *allow_pagination* and *pagination_max_limit* as shown above.


Configuration of policy.json file

.. code-block:: yaml

    neutron:
      server:
        ....
        policy:
          create_subnet: 'rule:admin_or_network_owner'
          'get_network:queue_id': 'rule:admin_only'
          # Add key without value to remove line from policy.json
          'create_network:shared':

Neutron LBaaSv2 enablement
--------------------------

.. code-block:: yaml

  neutron:
    server:
      lbaas:
        enabled: true
        providers:
          octavia:
            engine: octavia
            driver_path: 'neutron_lbaas.drivers.octavia.driver.OctaviaDriver'
            base_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:9876'
          avi_adc:
            engine: avinetworks
            driver_path: 'avi_lbaasv2.avi_driver.AviDriver'
            controller_address: 10.182.129.239
            controller_user: admin
            controller_password: Cloudlab2016
            controller_cloud_name: Default-Cloud
          avi_adc2:
            engine: avinetworks
            ...

Note: If the Contrail backend is set, Opencontrail loadbalancer would be enabled
automatically. In this case lbaas should disabled in pillar:

.. code-block:: yaml

  neutron:
    server:
      lbaas:
        enabled: false

Enable CORS parameters

.. code-block:: yaml

    neutron:
      server:
        cors:
          allowed_origin: https:localhost.local,http:localhost.local
          expose_headers: X-Auth-Token,X-Openstack-Request-Id,X-Subject-Token
          allow_methods: GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,PATCH
          allow_headers: X-Auth-Token,X-Openstack-Request-Id,X-Subject-Token
          allow_credentials: True
          max_age: 86400


Neutron VXLAN tenant networks with Network nodes
------------------------------------------------

With DVR for East-West and Network node for North-South.

This use case describes a model utilising VxLAN overlay with DVR. The DVR
routers will only be utilized for traffic that is router within the cloud
infrastructure and that remains encapsulated. External traffic will be
routed to via the network nodes.

The intention is that each tenant will require at least two (2) vrouters
one to be utilised
