The first release of Group Based Policy (GBP) [1] is now available! It
is designed to work with OpenStack stable Juno, and comprises of four
components:
Service, Client, Heat Automation, and Horizon UI

This release includes GBP network policy drivers for connectivity
rendering using Neutron, configured with any core plugin (including
ML2)[2], or OpenDaylight Controller [3]. In addition, vendor-specific
policy drivers are available for Cisco ACI [4], Nuage Virtual
Services’ Platform (VSP) [5], and One Convergence Network
Virtualization and Service Delivery (NVSD) Controller [6].

This release introduces the foundation of the Group Based Policy model
that provides for the following features:

* Intent-driven declarative abstractions
* Separation of application, network, and security concerns
* Late binding to facilitate non-linear workflows
* Ability to introduce operator modulation in the form of admin constraints
* Policy-driven Network Services’ composition and chaining
* Policy-driven external connectivity abstractions

Fedora [7] and Ubuntu [8] packages are available for installation
(RHEL and CentOS packages are being tested). An all-in-one single-step
devstack installation is also available with usage instructions [2].
Please give it a try; we would greatly appreciate your feedback.
Please also join the weekly IRC meetings [9] or on #openstack-gbp.

Thanks,
Team GBP.
