Group-based Policy Abstractions

Registered by Sumit Naiksatam

This blueprint consolidates proposals for extending OpenStack Networking with policy and connectivity abstractions that enable significantly more simplified and application-oriented interfaces than with the current Neutron API model. The goal of these API extensions is that they become the main interface to Neutron for those deploying applications by providing a simpler interface in which to consume Neutron resources. They allow for easier consumption of the networking resources by separate organizations and management systems.

The proposals described below, namely Connectivity Group Extension and Policy Extension Framework for Neutron differ in some details of the model semantics they propose, but in fact can express equivalent application topologies and connectivity policies to a large extent. More importantly, they share the common goal of an application-centric, policy-oriented view of OpenStack Networking.
