No
Summary (one sentence abstract of the project)
Designate is a DNS as a Service (DNSaaS) for Openstack clouds.
Parent Program name and PTL
Program
DNS Program. (see <link to program application>)
Mission statement
(if the project is part of a new OpenStack program)
(see <link to program application>)
Detailed Description
(what is the purpose of the project and vision for it? describe the relevance of the project to other OpenStack projects and the OpenStack mission to provide a ubiquitous cloud computing platform)
Designate is a DNS as-a-service project. It is intended to be used to provide DNS service from the entry point of creating, updating, maintaining and deleting DNS data using the Designate API, to providing DNS resolution for users. It is a very modular project, allowing for the use of whatever DNS server and organization demands, or the database where DNS data is stored. It is also intended to work in conjunction with other components such as Nova and Neutron.
The purpose of the project is provide managed DNS for the Openstack Ecosystem using a REST API or Designate Sink which consumes events from other Openstack projects, such as Nova or Neutron.
Designate is relevant to the mission by adding a missing piece of data-center functionality, namely, one of the most ubiquitous services, DNS. It's relevant to other OpenStack projects by automating the name resolution changes required for the creation and deletion of Nova instances or other components.
Basic roadmap for the project
