Gluon
Gluon is a Model-Driven, Extensible Framework for NFV Networking Service. This framework enables Telecom Service Providers to provide its customers with NFV networking services on-demand. Gluon uses model-driven approach to generate APIs (including objects, database schema, and RESTful API endpoints) from a YAML file which models the NFV Networking Service. When a Telecom Service Provider needs to launch a new service, it only needs to model the new service in a YAML file. Gluon framework generates the APIs accordingly. And then applications can use those APIs to provide the new service. Thus Gluon helps Telecom Service Provide accelerate the time-to-market and achieve business agility through its extensibility and scalability in generating API for new use cases and services.

Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Tracking
The scope of a Gluon PoC includes:
- Interaction model with Neutron and Nova via Neutron Plugin for Gluon
- New Protons, i.e. new service APIs, via new YAML
Progress of PoC is tracked by JIRA Ticket (Epic) in OPNFV:
- Task (Ian): Push code from Github to OpenStack Gluon repo
- Story (Tom): Gluon Neutron ML2 Plugin
- Task (Tom): Initial proposal describing ML2 approach
- Task (Tom): Push Interim Gluon Neutron ML2 Plugin Code for Gerrit Review
- Story (Niko): Database Migration from SQLLite to MySQL
- Story (Jin Li): PoC Testing
- Task (Jin Li): Initial testing proposal
