Hi all,
In cyborg pre-PTG meeting conducted last week[0],shaohe from Intel introduced SmartNIC support integrations,and we've reached some initial agreements:
The workflow for a user to create a server with network acceleartor(accelerator is managed by Cyborg) is:
1. create a port with accelerator request specified into binding_profile field
NOTE: Putting the accelerator request(device_profile) into binding_profile is one possible solution implemented in our POC.
Another possible solution,adding a new attribute to port object for cyborg specific use instead of using binding_profile, is discussed in shanghai Summit[1].
This needs check with neutron team, which neutron team would suggest?
2.create a server with the port created
Cyborg-nova-neutron integration workflow can be found on page 3 of the slide[2] presented in pre-PTG.
And we also record the introduction! Please find the pre-PTG meeting vedio record in [3] and [4], they are the same, just for different region access.
