Neutron FWaaS Zones API and Resource Model

Registered by Sumit Naiksatam

One of the common modes of firewall deployment is by defining trusted and untrusted zones and placing the firewall between these zones. The common definition for zones involves the use of interfaces. In Neutron interfaces have a one-to-one correspondence with Neutron ports. The current proposal is to define zones based on Neutron ports. Source and destination zone arguments can be added to the firewall rule.

This blueprint will capture the resource model and API. There will be more blueprints to support implementation of zones.
