Hi Alex, pretty much everything lgtm. Though I would note that the REST
APIs in OpenStack components generally use the plural of the resource
name instead of the singular. So, for instance, I'd change:

POST /balancer/service

to:

POST /balancer/services

Hope that helps. Looking forward to seeing some movement on this and see
how the Mirantis LBaaS stuff can be merged into this effort.

Best,
