Summary: Cloudstack network-element plugin to orchestrate
Juniper's switches
Key: CLOUDSTACK-5398
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-5398
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Network Controller
Affects Versions: 4.4.0
Reporter: Pradeep H Krishnamurthy
Fix For: 4.4.0
This feature is about a Cloudstack network-element plugin to orchestrate
Juniper's switches.
As a first-cut, we are focussing on L2 services and we will write a
NetworkGuru. As part of it's implement() method we will:
(1)Create the required logical interfaces on the Juniper switches (EX,QFX)
(2)Create the required VLANs on the Juniper switches (EX,QFX).
(3)Configure VLAN membership on the interfaces
Our customers need this plugin in Cloudstack deployments to automatically
orchestrate the Juniper switches to create Virtual Networks.
Without this plugin, there will be a manual intervention needed to configure
the switches (after figuring out the
current configuration of the switch).
We have a Network Management Platform (called JUNOS SPACE) which is heavily
used by customers to orchestrate Juniper's networking devices.
It also exposes REST-ful APIs for integration with 3rdParty tools.
The proposed Juniper's Cloudstack network-element plugin leverages these
REST-ful APIs to appropriately orchestrate Juniper's switches to
create Virtual Networks
