2. Agenda
• Quantum-­‐Nova
workflow
today.
• Dashboard-­‐Quantum-­‐Nova
workflow
today.
• Improving
unified
networking
orchestra5on.
• Flexible
mul5-­‐nic,
mul5-­‐network
instance
crea5on.
• SysPanel
for
Network
Administrator.
• Ideas
around
de-­‐coupling
of
network
related
configura5on
informa5on
from
Nova.

3. Nova-­‐
Quantum
workflow
today
1. Cloud
“admin”
creates
global
shared
networks
in
nova
with
a
priority
&
subnet
2. Cloud
“admin”
or
tenant
“admin”
creates
tenant
specific
networks
with
a
priority
&
subnet
3. Tenant
spins
up
a
VM,
VM
contains
appropriate
#
of
nics,
injected
IP,
and
Vif
plugged
into
the
correct
network.

Demo!

6. Unified
networking
orchestra5on
1. Tenant-­‐facing
workflow
2. Leverage
Dashboard
as
orchestra5ng
en5ty
3. Create
L2
Networks
using
Quantum
4. Create
Subnets
using
Melange
5. Associate
subnet
with
Quantum
network
in
Melange
6. Mechanism
to
plug-­‐in
UI
for
other
tenant-­‐
facing
network
services

7. De-­‐coupling
network
informa5on
from
Nova
DB

8. Future:
Cloud
Administrator
UI
• Nova
network
UI
for
tenant
–
Uses
Nova
API
– Ability
to
create
tenant-­‐specific
networks
– Ability
to
view
current
networks
owned
by
the
tenant,
Vifs
and
perform
VIF
plug/unplug
on
those
networks.
• Quantum
network
UI
for
Cloud
Administrator
(SysPanel)
–
Uses
Quantum
API
– Ability
to
view
ALL
Quantum
networks,
en5re
topology
(ports,
aBachments)
directly
using
Quantum
API
– Ability
to
create
