Sumit,
I think in that case their db-augments will be stored in
services/loadbalancer/impl_name (if it's really different plugin) or
services/loadbalancer/drivers/vendor/
What you're proposing is something like:
services
loadbalancer
db
loadbalancer_db.py
vendor1_db_plugin.py
vendor2_db_plugin.py
Am I correct?
Thanks,
Eugene.
