Hi Octavia folks,

This email is to announce that we are currently in the process of retiring both neutron-lbaas and the Octavia v1 API. We said this would happen in September 2019 or the OpenStack "U" release, whichever came first. Because September of 2019 occurs during the Train release cycle, there will be no Train release of neutron-lbaas. We will therefore be retiring the neutron-lbaas repository and the Octavia v1 API effective immediately, as there is no reason to continue to maintain them if no release is forthcoming.

Reminder: The Octavia v1 API was used by the neutron-lbaas Octavia provider driver and was not an end-user API. The Octavia v1 API is a
proprietary API and is not compatible with the LBaaS v2 API specification or any other LBaaS API specification.

If you have questions about this deprecation cycle please see the FAQ wiki:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/LBaaS/Deprecation

If you have questions or concerns not covered by the FAQ, please reach out to the Octavia team either by using the "[octavia]" subject prefix on this mailing list or in our IRC channel #openstack-lbaas.

We look forward to working with you moving forward with Octavia LBaaS!
