Hi Maish,

Thanks for the feedback, some answers below.  Please also be aware of the lbaas use cases session tomorrow at 9am (yuck, I know), https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/YVR-neutron-lbaas-use-cases <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/YVR-neutron-lbaas-use-cases>

The lbaas API runs inside neutron-server.  The general flow is:

- User interacts with neutron CLI/API or horizon (in liberty), and creates an LB.
- Lbaas plugin in neutron creates logical models, fetches cert data from barbican, and calls the backend lbaas driver.
- The backend driver does what it needs to to instantiate the LB. Today this is a synchronous call that waits for the nova boot, but by Liberty, it will likely be an async call to the octavia controller to finish the job.

Once Octavia has control, it is doing:

- Get REST calls for objects,
- Talk to nova, spin up an amphora image,
- Talk to neutron, plumb in the networks,
- Send the amphora its config.

We need to talk to the Heat folks and coordinate this, which we are planning to do soon.

Not at present, but I recorded this in the feature list on the etherpad above.
