Thanks a lot for working on this! My understanding is that the metadata API support, added to the DNS support that Numan Siddique is building, will complete OVN's basic OpenStack support, which will be great to have. Before I review this patch in detail, can you help me to understand what other components, in OVN or in Neutron, will be needed to make the overall metadata API feature work? Is it just a matter of plugging a bit into the Neutron networking-ovn driver, or do we need additional infrastructure in OVN beyond this patch? I'm trying to understand the full context here. Thanks, Ben. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
