Open Stack

Hello people of Quantum!
As the Folsom release approaches, it is time to gather together and
finalize the specification for the v2 API, so that the Openstack-doc team
might cast it in stone for the sake of the Quantum users!

In order to make this happen, it looks like there are just a few bits that
needs to be agreed upon, and I think they can be summarized as follows:
- 'name' attributes and whether they should be mandatory. It looks like we
all agree we want them, but it has to be decided whether
   i) they should be unique or not.
   ii) they should be mandatory or not.
- 'public' attribute for networks. As we did not get negative feedback on
the proposal, I am going to assume nobody has strong opinions against this
decision.
- security group API. We have a blueprint open and targeted to F-3 (
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-security-groups).
Personally I do not feel it is a good idea at this stage proposing them for
the core v2 API in Folsom. Apart from the necessary discussion concerning
the APIs, we will need support across all the plugins, which is hardly
going to happen IMHO. If you have a different opinion, this is the right
thread to shout it!
    - NOTE: Leaving the security groups outside of Quantum core API also
means that we *must* ensure Quantum still allows Nova to use its own
firewall drivers.
- L3 features (
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-l3-fwd-nat): among
the various sub-blueprints in which this blueprint can be broken, there's
one concerning APIs. As I have not followed the development of this
particular blueprint, I'll leave it to Dan whether L3 & NAT APIs should be
part of Folsom core.

>From my perspective, the above list includes all the items concerning the
Quantum v2 API which have not yet stabilized. Please do let me know if I
forgot anything.

Thanks and have a good day,
Salvatore
