It's one project. :)

I believe there were also some sessions at the last summit regarding
"neutron multi site" in that the neutron project is looking at ways to
accomplish this as well. I didn't attend any, but if you google that
you'll probably find some etherpads.

Potentially there would be solutions available via SDN controllers,
and each solution would be different.

Yeah I'm not sure what has happened in that area either, but I'm
fairly sure that Ceph can backup to another Ceph cluster and it would
be interesting if OpenStack could somehow be made aware of that, but
of course you have all kinds of other issues in terms of IP migration
etc. I would imagine many people would suggest having applications
that can exist across multiple clouds as opposed to doing some kind of
"openstack aware disaster recovery" though. It would be superb if
there was an OpenStack way of managing that kind of
deployment...perhaps there is and I'm just not aware of it. :)

Thanks,
Curtis.
