Open Stack

I let the creators of the project speak for themselves but here is my take
on project Kuryr.

The goal is not to containerize Neutron or other OpenStack services. The
main objective is to use Neutron as a networking backend option for Docker.
The original proposal was to do so in the context of using containers (for
different Neutron backends or vif types). While the main objective is
fundamental to the project, the latter (use of containers in this
particular way) seems to be a tactical choice we need to make. I see
several different options available to achieve the same goal in this
regard.

Now, there is another aspect of using containers in the context of this
project that is more interesting at least to me (and I do not know if
others share this view or not) and that is the use of containers for
providing network services that are not available through libnetwork as of
now or in near future or ever. From the talks I have had with libnetwork
developers the plan is to stay with the basic networking infrastructure and
leave additional features to be developed by the community and to do so
possibly by using what else,  containers.

So take the current features available in libnetwork. You mainly get
support for connectivity/isolation for multiple networks across multiple
hosts. Now if you want to route between these networks, you have to devise
a solution yourself. One possible solution would be having a router service
in a container that gets connected to say two Docker networks. Whether the
router service is implemented with the use of the current Neutron router
services or by some other solutions is something to look into and discuss
but this is a direction where I think Kuryr (did I spell it right? ;)) can
and should contribute to.

Just my 2 cents on this topic.

Best,

Mohammad

Gal,

I’m not clear exactly what you plan to do with regards to building docker
containers for Neutron, but the Kolla project has developed both
linuxbridge and ovs agents as well as a complete running Neutron system
inside container technology.  We can launch it AIO with docker-compose, or
alternatively it can be launched AIO or multinode with Ansible.  Note we
have a complete OpenStack implementation, not just Neutron.

We would welcome additional driver support using the standard OpenStack
gerrit workflow.

Note we are also in the process of adding build from source to our tree
here:

For further background on Kolla, check out our wiki page:

Best wishes,

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Neutron][Kuryr] - Bringing Dockers networking to
Neutron


      Hello Everyone,

      Project Kuryr is now officially part of Neutron's big tent.
      Kuryr is aimed to be used as a generic docker remote driver that
      connects docker to Neutron API's
      and provide containerised images for the common Neutron plugins.
      We also plan on providing common additional networking services API's
      from other sub projects
      in the Neutron big tent.

      We hope to get everyone on board with this project and leverage this
      joint effort for the many different solutions out there (instead of
      everyone re-inventing the wheel for each different project).

      We want to start doing a weekly IRC meeting to coordinate the
      different requierments and
      tasks, so anyone that is interested to participate please share your
      time preference
      and we will try to find the best time for the majority.

      Remember we have people in Europe, Tokyo and US, so we won't be able
      to find time that fits
      everyone.

      The currently proposed time is  Wedensday at 16:00 UTC

      Please reply with your suggested time/day,
      Hope to see you all, we have an interesting and important project
      ahead of us

      Thanks
      Gal.
