Hi Gary,

Thank you for your suggestion.
In Liberty cycle[1], I have discussed about these points with neutron folks and network operators.

I guess that this is similar to “Segment” discussion[2].
I tried to include this point to Availability Zone spec so that we can deploy an environment has network unreachable AZs.
However, some folks disagreed with this because availability zone must be something to give users High Availability not manage isolated network with AZ.

I feel that the AZ support is someone what related and maybe we should try and kill 2 birds with one stone here and have the cell support combined if possible. I think that this is certainly something that should be a cross project summit discussion.
I think too that Neutron Cell Support is important. However, neutron quite depends on the backend unlike nova.
It’s hard to combine it and it will take a long time. AZ support is also different from Cell support.
We should not discuss these to connect Neutron AZ support with Cell support because I’m afraid to fall between two stools.
I agree that we have a cross project summit discussion to connect Nova Cell support with Neutron Cell support.

Would it be worthwhile considering adding this support as a feature branch and then when the entire feature is ready that we merge it to the tree. This will enable the external vendors to be alive and kicking.
