Network device support in inventory model
As per the discussion in the community meeting, we would like to have better inventory models to accommodate driving/deploying Openstack service like Ceph, Swift, Cinder etc. The current modeling might not be suitable to do this. The key point is to support network devices, we currently dont have explicit support to do network device modeling.
Craton currently support the following resources:
Region
Cell
Devices (types: servers / vm / containers)
We need to include "network devices" to the devices list such that we can represent things like switches, routers, hubs etc.
This allows operators to represent a ToR switch which would allow for servers to have the ToR switch as its parent device. This actually represents a "cab". This represent then allows to to have representation of a DC in the following way:
Region -> Cell -> Cab -> Servers / VM/ Containers

Whiteboard
A network device is represented by the following model:
=======
NewtorkDevice :
- Name
- DeviceType
- ModelName
- PrimaryIP
- OSVersion
- Neighbors
- Vlans
- VlanInterfaces
- Interfaces
- Newtorks
Schema for the network device types:
-------
name - {"type" : "string"}
device_type - {"type": "string"}
modelName - {"type": "string"}
primary_IP - {"type": "string"}
os_version - {"type": "string"}
neighbours - [{"interface_id": {"type": "integer"}, {"name": "string"}, {"remote_int": {"type": "lldp"}}}]
vlans - [{"id": {"interer"}}]
vlan_interfaces - {"id": {"type": "integer"},
}
interfaces - {"id": {"type": "integer"},
}
networks
- [{"name": {"type": "string"}},
{"vlan": {"type": "integer"}},
{"CIDR": {"type": "string"}},
{"gateway": {"type": "string"}},
{"netmask": {"type": "string"}},
{"ip_
{"nss": {"type": "string"}}
}]
