Hi Eugene,

Some of the data needed for selection is only available on the VIP (ex: the subnet/network id).
Eugene, what will happen if the appliance is selected on pool creation and then the VIP specifies subnets that can't be connected to this appliance?
It seems that in order to properly select the device, the whole model (Group + VIP + health check) need to be completed before selection and just then the actual configuration can be done on the appliance.
IS this correct?

Hi Youcef,

We call scheduler at pool creation.

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for the update. This looks a good plan for Grizzly.

One question on the time we select a device. Do we call the scheduler to select a device (given a certain service type) at the time of the pool creation or at the time of the vip creation?

Hi folks,

I'd like to present blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/quantum-service-scheduler which I feel needs to be in grizzly.
You can find more detailed description in specification page.

Initially we planned to have comprehensive device management as separate plugin with extension and complicated schedulers.
However due to the lack of time and reviewer resources we desided to greatly reduce the scope of this work.
So, currently the code on review ( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/20225/ ) introduces the following:
1) Configuration management for service schedulers, e.g. admin can configure particular scheduler for particular service type
2) Simplistic scheduler for lbaas:
  - scheduling algorithm that randomly chooses a device from list of devices
  - device manager that reads devices from predefined conf-file (suggestion from Salvatore)

I believe this is reasonable minimum that will allow to use LBaaS service at least with some convenience.
(In fact, I'd provide some more scheduling algorithms)

We have also started to integrate this code with code of lbaas-agent-and-rpc<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/lbaas-agent-and-rpc> according to the call sequence diagram:
http://wiki.openstack.org/Quantum/LBaaS/Architecture/Scheduler
So we plan that this code will be base patch for lbaas-agent-and-rpc<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/lbaas-agent-and-rpc>.

Thanks,
Eugene.
