Meetings/VPNaaS

< Meetings
Revision as of 14:58, 13 November 2015 by Paul Michali (talk | contribs) (Nice to Have)

Meetings

  • On-demand on Tuesdays at 1600 UTC
  • IRC channel: #openstack-meeting-3
  • Chair: pc_m (Paul Michali)

There currently are no planned VPNaaS meetings. If there is an important aspect to discuss, you can either add an on-demand topic to the Neutron IRC meeting, or hold an on-demand meeting in the above reserved channel. If doing the latter, please update the agenda, and next meeting date on this page, and post a notice on the openstack-dev mailing list with ample time for people to allocate time to attend (you may want to request a quorum).


Next meeting: TBD

Logs and Minutes

Meetings, with their notes and logs, will be found under http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/vpnaas/

Agenda

Multiple Local Subnets

Server changes (#link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/230164) and Neutron client (#link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/231133) are out for review. Please look them over.

Will work on follow-up commits for functional tests, API documentation, and additional validation.

Open Discussion

Bucket List

Here is a list of features/fixes/enhancements that could be done for VPNaaS, with a subjective assessment of the importance of each:

Very Important

  • Certificate support for IPSec (Barbican - see what LBaaS did to use certificate). - RFE created. VPNaaS isn't practical for production use with pre-shared keys, IMHO. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1459427)
  • Removing direct dependency on Neutron, causing breakages occasionally (neutron-lib).

Important

Nice to Have

  • Check when removing/changing GW I/F that is not used by VPNaaS (may be bug for this).
  • Improve coverage in UTs.
    • Checking various sync() cases: router w/o VPN running on it any more; router with VPN running, but no longer a service configured; process running VPN, but no longer VPN configured.
    • Verification of reported status for various cases: connections (active, down, pending create), service (created, deleted, admin down).
  • Refactor the rest of the database tests and remove round trip test cases once similar tests in place.
  • Need more functional tests for OpenSwan device driver (and StrongSwan driver). Identify what's needed (MTU check, connection delete, admin up/down?, non-default configs [API or unit?], IPv6). Referenced by https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1416427
  • Refactor duplication out of device driver code (OpenSwan, StrongSwan, Cisco, Vyatta). Some is covered under https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1414253.
  • The OpenSwan class should be separated from the ABC definition, and placed into a new module.
  • Remove /n from execute method in utils.py so that duplicate code can be removed in VPN drivers.
  • Developer Reference Documentation needed.
  • Migrate to using neutronclient extension for VPN (and create job).
  • StrongSwan execute_with_mount() to allow configurable rootwrap config file (hard coded currently).

Pie in the Sky Items

  • Explore leveraging off of endpoint group mechanism for other VPN flavors.
  • Drivers for other VPN types (e.g. something similar to AWS DirectConnect and Azure ExpressRoute) DMVPN, SSLVPN?
