Octavia
=======

Octavia is an open source, operator-scale load balancing solution designed to
work with OpenStack. It accomplishes its delivery of load balancing services
by managing a fleet of virtual machines, known as amphorae, which it spins up
on demand.

Octavia is designed to “plug in” to Neutron LBaaS in the same way that any
proprietary vendor solution would: through a Neutron LBaaS version 2 driver
interface. Octavia plans to supplant Neutron LBaaS as the load balancing
solution for OpenStack. At that time, third-party vendor drivers that presently
“plug in” to Neutron LBaaS will plug in to Octavia instead. For end-users,
this transition should be relatively seamless, because Octavia supports
the Neutron LBaaS v2 API and it has a similar CLI interface.
