Expose trunk details over metadata API
With the completion of the trunk port feature in Newton (Neutron
bp/vlan-aware-vms [1]), trunk and subports are now available. But the
bringup of the subports' VLAN interfaces inside an instance is not
automatic. In Newton there's no easy way to pass information about
the subports to the guest operating system. But using the metadata
API we can change this.
This blueprint proposes a small change to neutron and an even smaller
change to nova. I wanted to avoid a duplicated blueprint and a split
discussion so please see the specification as a neutron rfe ticket.
