Hi, Some files in neutron are common infrastructure to the VMWare neutron L2/L3 plugin, and the services plugins. These files wrap VMWare NSX and provide a python API to some NSX services.
This code is common to: - VMWare L2/L3 plugin, which after the split should be held outside of openstack repo (e.g stackforge) - neutron-lbaas, neutron-fwaas repos, which will hold the VMWare services plugins With neutron split into multiple repos, in and out of openstack, we have the following options: 1. Duplicate the relevant code between the various repos - IMO a pretty bad choice for obvious reasons. 2. Keep the code in the VMWare L3/L4 plugin repo - which will add an import from the neutron-*aas repos to a repo which is outside of openstack. 3. Add these components to oslo.vmware project: oslo.vmware contains, as of now, a wrapper to vCenter API. The components in discussion wrap NSX API, which is out of vCenter scope. Therefore it’s not really a part of oslo.vmware scope as it is defined today, but is still a wrapper layer to a VMWare product. We could extend the oslo.vmware scope to include wrappers to VMWare products, in general, and add the relevant components under oslo.vmware.network.nsx or similar.
