OVSvApp solution for ESX deployments
When a cloud operator wants to use OpenStack with vSphere using open source
elements, he/she can only do so by relying on nova-network. Currently there
is no integration between Nova and Neutron that would allow the operator to
deploy ESXi compute hypervisors so that he/she can start using some of the
Neutron capabilities in a similar deployment fashion. This blueprint is
about providing cloud operators with a Neutron supported solution for
vSphere deployments in the form of a service VM called OVSvApp VM
which steers the ESX tenant VMs' traffic through it.
The value-add with this solution is faster deployment of solutions on ESX
environments together with minimum effort required for adding new Openstack
features like DVR, LBaaS, VPNaaS etc.
