Well, yes and no. At least, according to what I've found. I've looked pretty hard at neutron, and it seems to require that the VM's / VM hosts be in their own broadcast domain, even for the simple flat networking. All of the testing I've done supports that. This is not a good fit for me for the reasons stated in my original post.
But, this probably isn't the place for that conversation. Has the installation and configuration of nova-network been removed from the Trusty nova-cloud-controller charm intentionally? I suspect not, since the docs haven't been updated to reflect that, and there still seems to be at least some support for Essex in the charm, which I believe is a pre-neutron/qauantum release of OS. Even if it has been removed intentionally, the docs need to be updated to reflect that, so this is an attempt to give feedback and inform people that there is a disconnect between the stated and delivered features on this charm. For my own purposes though, assuming I stick w/ juju, is the best thing to do a) fork this charm for my own use, b) write an entirely new charm to handle just the nova-network components I need or c) something else entirely? I'd like to work on whatever has the most likelihood to be useful by others, but being new here, I don't really know the preferences of the juju world for this sort of thing. Thanks!
