Hi Ahana,
Neutron Flavors, as it is now, is just an initial implementation with no
scheduling or meta templating implemented.
The flavor actually has its identifiers ena/dis, and service type it belongs to.
The flavor profile has identifiers, driver FQN, ena/dis and metainfo (which has
no implementation right now)
There is also a table binding those two entities.
When LB is created with flavor but not with a provider, LBaaS plugin is
requesting neutron's flavor plugin to get the provider while supplying flavor
id.
Then, neutron's flavor plugin gets the first suitable provider. No scheduling
is in place yet.
Driver has no chance to know which flavor or service profile was used to invoke
it.
In past, I used the flavors extension in past and succeeded to create LB while
specifying flavor in. Can try to help you with this.
In order to make the current flavors plugin useful before flavors templating
and meta are in place,
I pushed this change, so driver will be able to get its provider meta info when
needed.

It's just a neutron side of the work, I'm planning to push the LBaaS side
soon, which will show how it can be used
And also a driver code which uses it.
Regarding the full implementation of flavors and its usage in LBaaS, the RST is
here
https://github.com/openstack/neutron-specs/blob/master/specs/mitaka/neutron-flavor-framework-templates.rst
I plan to implement it or part of it, but have some conceptual questions on the
RST

Evgeny

Subject: [openstack-dev] [neutron][flavor][lbaas]Running neutron flavor
commands using cli
Hi,
We have a few questions regarding using flavor support in Mitaka-
* We are trying to setup 3 flavors which can be used by LBaaS users
during Loadbalancer creation. All of the 3 flavours will point to the same
provider/driver. The driver should be able to understand which flavour was used
for loadbalancer creation. Can this be done?
* Unfortunately I am stuck in the first step itself. I have enabled
"flavour" extension in neutron.conf. As an admin I am unable to create & list
flavours. I am getting a 404 error when I do "" command.
* Could you give me an idea as to when neutron flavors will be fully
implemented?
Regards,
Ahana
