Unified Virtual Network Support
-------------------------------
Key: LIBCLOUD-122
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-122
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Reporter: Hutson Betts
A project I am currently working on involves the management of virtual networks
using OpenNebula's OCCI API. These virtual networks are necessary to facilitate
what Amazon calls "Virtual Private Clouds". Basically, I deploy a set of
virtual machines, interconnected by a set of virtual networks, vnets, and using
ebtables, isolate those virtual networks from one another. This effectively
creates a virtual private cloud within my cloud infrastructure.
However, there is no support in libcloud to orchestrate virtual private
networks. I know OpenNebula's OCCI supports virtual networks and there is
documentation for Amazon's VPC (Docs: Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (API Version
2011-07-15))
Would a new, fourth, component to libcloud be required? Say: "Virtual Networks
- services such as Amazon VPC and OCCI
(libcloud.network.*)"
Therefore I wanted to propose the creation of a new networking library to unify
the creation and management of virtual networks across cloud providers.
