Note that the README on the Magnum GH repository states that one of the 
features of Magnum is its use of Neutron:

"Integration with Neutron for k8s multi-tenancy network security."

Is this not true?

So, perhaps because I've not been able to find any documentation for 
Magnum besides the README (the link to developers docs is a 404), I have 
quite a bit of confusion around what value Magnum brings to the 
OpenStack ecosystem versus a tenant just installing Kubernetes on one of 
more of their VMs and managing container resources using k8s directly.

Is the goal of Magnum to basically be like Trove is for databases and be 
a Kubernetes-installation-as-a-Service endpoint?

Thanks in advance for more info on the project. I'm genuinely curious.

Best,
