** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
  Currently, when the enabled_provider_drivers setting is not correctly
  configured, e.g., it contains a non-existing driver, or when a provider
  driver fails to load, octavia as a whole errors out and the API becomes
  unreachable. This means that if there is a transient problem with a
  provider, or a misconfiguration, even if that provider is not being
  actively used, the other functioning drivers cannot be used.
  
- 
  [ Test Plan ]
  
  1. Deploy openstack with octavia and the amphora and ovn-plugin providers.
-   - For Yoga-Caracal, this can be done using Charmed
-     OpenStack.
-   - For Caracal-Epoxy this can be done with sunbeam.
+   - For Yoga-Caracal, this can be done using Charmed

- 2. Misconfigure the ovn-provider by setting `ovn-provider` by setting
- `ovn.ovn_nb_connection=6666` in `/etc/octavia/octavia.conf`.
+ 2. Manually break the ovn-provider by adding an error to the __init__ method 
of
+    the provider class.
  
  3. Confirm that octavia errors out on start.
  
  4. Refresh octavia with patched version.
  
- 5. Confirm that octavia comes up with the amphora provider.
+ 5. Repeat 2
+ 
+ 6. Confirm that octavia comes up with the amphora provider.
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  This patch implements the strategy described in [0], skipping over
  drivers which error while allowing others to proceed with
  initialization. The Octavia API service now removes the failing
  driver(s) from the enabled list, and the other provider drivers remain
  functional.
  
  Because driver initialization errors are no longer fatal, it is easier
  for user to miss problems with their configuration. Errors are still
  logged, however, and misconfigured drivers will be missing from the
  provider list.
