<div class="">Hi Nova cores,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We’d like to request an FFE for this added nova feature. It gives a real interface - a JSON file - to network data inside the instance. This is a patch Rackspace carries downstream, and we’ve had lots of interested users, including the OpenStack
Infra team and upstream cloud-init. We’d love to get this in for Kilo so all can benefit from the better interface.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There are a few small patches remaining to implement this functionality:</div>
<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/155116/" class="">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/155116/</a> Updates the testing portion of the spec to reflect we can’t tempest test this, and will instead add functional tests to Nova for it.

<div class=""><b class="">Core Functionality</b></div>
<div class=""><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/143755/" class="">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/143755/</a> - Adds IPv6 support to Nova’s network unit tests so we can test the functionality in IPv6.</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/102649/" class="">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/102649/</a> - Builds and prepares the neutron network data to expose</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/153097/" class="">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/153097/</a> - Exposes the Neutron network data built in the last patch to Configdrive/Metadata service</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">VLAN Support</b></div>
<div class="">As a note; while we’d like all these patches to be merged, it’s clear the VLAN support is a bit more complex than the other patches, and we’d be OK with the other patches receiving an FFE without this one (although obviously we’d prefer get everything
in K).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/152703/" class="">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/152703/</a> - Adds VLAN support for Neutron network data generation.</div>

</div>
<div class="">Please let me or Josh know if you have any questions.</div>

</div>
<div class="">Thanks,</div>
