Re: [openstack-dev] [Baremetal][Neutron] SDN Solution for Openstack Baremetal Driver
Ryota, Thanks for your invitation. Unfortunately I did not join the summit. Wish you had a good time and enjoy the summit ;). However I am really interested in your baremetal + SDN solution. Would you mind elaborate a bit more about the architecture and design of the solution?

Re: [openstack-dev] [Baremetal][Neutron] SDN Solution for Openstack Baremetal Driver
I'm not sure what the exact requirements are for this, but there is a spec review under way for external attachment points into neutron networks. It covers integration with ironic as well as other baremetal devices. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/87825/ -- Kevin Benton Ryota, Thanks for your invitation.

[openstack-dev] [Baremetal][Neutron] SDN Solution for Openstack Baremetal Driver
Ryota, Thanks for your invitation. Unfortunately I did not join the summit. Wish you had a good time and enjoy the summit ;). However I am really interested in your baremetal + SDN solution. Would you mind elaborate a bit more about the architecture and design of the solution? Anthony, Agree. I think currently the formal discussion documentation on baremetal networking (and especially baremetal + SDN) is lacking for production-scale cases. As Ironic is coming to stable I think we would see more baremetal type deployments. So could the baremetal Ironic team/experienced stackers consider improving the guide as suggested by Anthony? Really appreciate that. Again thanks a lot for Ryota and Anthony, Regards, Tim ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

Re: [openstack-dev] [Baremetal][Neutron] SDN Solution for Openstack Baremetal Driver
This is a discussion that warrants a broader audience, as others are likely to have a very similar need. It would be good to get something like this documented, and perhaps bolted on to the operators’ guide or somewhere similarly appropriate. -Anthony Hi Tim, NTT-docomo and VTJ developed network isolation in baremetal before they merging baremetal driver to upstream, and I also supported them by providing SDN(OpenFlow) controller plugin. I don't have good article to explain that for now, but I can have discussion if you are in the summit.
