neutron-lbaas and neutron-lbaas-dashboard. As part of the neutron<br>
stadium evolution [1], neutron-lbaas was identified as a project that<br>
should spin out of neutron and become its own project. The<br>
specification detailing this process was approved [2] during the<br>
newton OpenStack release cycle.<br>
<br>
OpenStack load balancing no longer requires deep access into the<br>
neutron code base and database. All of the required networking<br>
capabilities are now available via stable APIs. This change de-couples<br>
the load balancing release versioning from the rest of the OpenStack<br>
deployment. Since Octavia uses stable APIs when interacting with other<br>
OpenStack services, you can run a different version of Octavia in<br>
relation to your OpenStack cloud deployment.<br>
<br>
Per OpenStack deprecation policy, both projects will continue to<br>
receive support and bug fixes during the deprecation cycle, but no new<br>
features will be added to either project. All future feature<br>
enhancements will now occur on the Octavia project(s) [3].<br>
<br>
We are not announcing the end of the deprecation cycle at this time,<br>
but it will follow OpenStack policy of at least two release cycles<br>
prior to retirement. This means that the first release that these<br>
projects could be retired would be the “T” OpenStack release cycle.<br>
