Open Stack

Hi Oğuz,

Thank you for starting to contribute to Neutron FWaaS. We just got together as a new core team and we are still learning the ropes there. Please be also advised that we are planning some changes in future versions (especially now as the API has been deprecated).

In any case a good place to start is looking at the other drivers as well as attending our weekly irc meetings to ask questions. We also have an irc channel where you can ask questions as well.

Hope that points you in the right direction,
German

Subject: [openstack-dev] [neutron][fwaas] fwaas driver development steps

Hi,

I need to write a driver for our friewall hardware to integrate it to our Openstack environment. I checked the Neutron Development wiki page, FWaaS wiki page, fwaas driver codes written at the Github. Since there is no clear documentation about howto write a direwall driver for Neutron i need some guidance. The firewall driver will have a REST API that can be used to configure it so what i need now is how i will debug and develop neutron while writing the driver. What is the suggested way? Which functions should be implemented? I had seen the abstract functions like, create_friewall, update_firewall, the question is what are the context of the parameters coming there. So either i should debug one of them step by step like the iptables driver or some clear definition i should have.

What is the right way to do it?
