It used legacy security group APIs to manage access to instances, and there was no proper support for custom networking. + +Starting from Apache jclouds 2.1.0, an integration with OpenStack Neutron will be provided and users will be able to configure their Nova APIs to interact with a custom Neutron deployment. +<!-- more --> + +To achieve this, users will be able to use the recent **context linking** feature, where APIs and providers that have dependencies between them can be *linked* so they can call each other where needed. This and the paragraph below are a bit confusing, because they talk about linking APIs and providers but then clarify that by saying that it's actually "context linking". How about something along the following lines: "Allowing the Nova API to interact directly with a Neutron deployment is possible thanks to jclouds' new [context linking](link to separate introducing context linking post?) feature, Here's an example of how to allow a Nova API to interact with a Neutron API, using the `ContextLinking.linkContext` helper method." ? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
