Open Stack

Hi Alex,

I'd encourage you to join the LBaaS discussion:
http://wiki.openstack.org/Quantum/LBaaS

Based on the discussions with eBay, VMware, Citrix, F5, Mirantis & others at the summit, we have been able to make some good progress and your inputs & contributions would be welcome.

See the wiki & etherpad for the resource model & additional details:
http://wiki.openstack.org/LBaaS/CoreResourceModel/proposal
https://etherpad.openstack.org/grizzly-quantum-lbaas

Hopefully, we'll see you at the next LBaaS meeting

Cheers,
Sachin

Hi Alex, pretty much everything lgtm. Though I would note that the REST
APIs in OpenStack components generally use the plural of the resource
name instead of the singular. So, for instance, I'd change:

POST /balancer/service

to:

POST /balancer/services

Hope that helps. Looking forward to seeing some movement on this and see
how the Mirantis LBaaS stuff can be merged into this effort.

Best,
-jay
