Hi, this is a follow up of the todays' LBaaS meeting held on #quantum-lbaas.

Agenda:
1. ServiceType framework
2. Service source file locations
3. Multivendor support
4. NFV
5. Regular meeting

1. ServiceType framework
Agreed on the following:
- ServiceType is the name of the entity consisting of
(uuid, service_class, plugin:driver, vendor (opt), version (opt))
This is an essential entity with minimal info needed for multivendor
support.
- Extra parameters include: insertion mode, service quality.

Action item: Sumit to prepare workflow with additional parameters (ins.
mode, quality) and entities (ServiceOffering, ServiceChain, etc).
Workflow design should be a separate discussion.

Action item: Eugene to refactor current ServiceType framework to comply
with what was decided.

2. Service source file locations (related gerrit
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/28257/ )
Agreed on making two changes:
- move all lbaas-related implementation files to
plugins/services/agent_loadbalancer
(db plugin goes to services/agent_loadbalancer/db)
- rename agent_loadbalancer to loadbalancer to indicate that we're going to
have multivendor solution

Remaining question:
whether to move whole services directory one level up.
That could shorten import paths a bit and also it's a good time to make
such change before services directory is not very populated.

3. Multivendor support
Was not discussed.
There are two patches on review:
splitting reference implementation into plugin and plugin driver:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/28289/

"Blueprint multi-vendor-support-for-lbaas-step0"
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/28245

4. Network Function Virtualization.
There's a concern that this blueprint is trying to address the problem that
is already is being solved.
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quantum/+spec/nfv-and-network-service-chain-implementation
This is not quite related to LBaaS, however there are plans to implement
"device inventory" module, which is needed for LBaaS and could be utilized
by other services as well.
That overlaps with what is proposed in NFV.

5. Regular LBaaS meeting.
Waiting for Mark McClain opinion.

Thanks,
Eugene.
