Hi, After talking with FWaaS developers at the summit (German and Sridar), i decided to write here also, maybe someone has an idea. I am trying to integrate a hardware firewall to our Openstack environment. It is a custom hardware running BSD on it and has a REST API for configuring. I talked with Sridar, he gave me the brief understanding of how FWaaS driver is working.
Either i will be hacking the community driver and calling the REST API or writing the driver and calling the REST API there. The problem is, we couldn't figured it out how will the hardware firewall be working. Assuming that, it will not be routing traffic, just filtering, and that we will be using virtual routers of Openstack, do you have a reference architecture for such a case? It seems everyone has its own way of using firewall appliances in OpenStack. All i need is to create a firewall but instead of using Iptables, i want to use the hardware firewall and be able to define filtering rules. FWaaS guys said that there will be API changes in the future so at Mitaka, it seems the way of FWaaS will be changing and there are some plans about merging FWaaS and security groups. I am now using Kilo, the solution also will be working at Liberty also. Will be great if you give some guidance. Regards. -- Oğuz Yarımtepe http://about.me/oguzy
