[openstack-dev] [Neutron] Blueprint -- Floating IP Auto Association

Thanks Steven for working on this topic!

I would prefer the second approach, although there were some discussions
during the summit about moving all calls to Neutron instead of having nova
involved.
Anyway, just providing my two cents

Thanks,

Edgar

Association

Hi Steven,

I see three Steven Weston on Launchpad. If you give me your LP ID, I will
assign the blueprint to you.
This is a nova parity item and i'd like to raise the priority to High.

It would be also good to hear from you about the implementation approach.
In the past we debated two alternatives: passing a special attribute to a
port in order to create a floating IP for it too, or orchestrating the
operation from the nova side.
The first option has the cons of adding a side effect to a REST API call
(which is not advisable), and might be a bit complex when the network where
the port is on is attached to multiple routers.
The latter option has the cons of requiring two neutron API calls.

The input of the whole community on this topic will be very appreciated.

Salvatore
