Open Stack

I meant in a general sense of the networking technology that you're using for instance networking, not in the sense of per-tenant networks, though my wording was ambiguous. Part of our larger question centers around the viability of tying instances directly to a provider network. Being that we only operate a private cloud for internal consumption, doing so would have some attractive upsides; tenants clamor for the IP inside their instance to be the same as the floating IP that the outside world sees, but nobody's ever asked us about the ability to roll their own network topology, so we think we could probably do without that.

Hi Ned,

I'm a Calico team member, not an operator, but I wanted to check if you 
really meant tenant networking as in per-tenant networks.  Because 
Calico as implemented so far with OpenStack is really more a provider 
network technology.  For example, we don't support overlapping IPs.

Thanks,
     Neil

PS. Thanks for asking that question!  I'm also very interested in the 
answers, of course. :-)
