<div dir="ltr">Its an interesting discussion you brought up today. I agree there is no clear definition of neutron service in that table. The cell goes by its definition of ability to create instance anywhere. Then there needs to be inter-vm communication for a given network. <div>

<p class="">Hi,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=""><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="">While developing some neutron extensions, one question came up on Cells. Appreciate any comments.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=""><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="">According to this table in operations guide, a cell shares nova-api and keystone, but does not talk about other services.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=""><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="">I understand from few that Neutron service need to be shared across cells if virtual networks are to be extended to multiple cells. Otherwise, neutron service can be dedicated to each cell.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=""><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="">I guess anybody developing neutron related extensions need to take care both scenarios.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=""><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="">Is that understanding correct? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=""><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="">Also which deployments are more common – Shared Neutron or dedicated neutrons?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class=""><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="">Thanks<br>
Srini<u></u><u></u></p>
