Overview

LBaaS (Load-Balancing-as-a-Service) is currently an advanced service of Neutron. It allows for proprietary and open-source load balancing technologies to drive the actual load balancing of requests. Thus, an OpenStack operator can choose which back-end technology to use. The long-term vision for the project, however, is to provide a single API that allows a user to seamlessly move between different load balancing technologies should the operator choose to do so. While LBaaS is currently part of Neutron, plans are underway to make it a separate project within Openstack yet still under the Networking umbrella. Please see below to see what is currently being worked on for the current cycle.

How do I contribute?

First of all thanks for joining our cause! The best way to contribute is to join the discussions on IRC and the mailing list. To get up to speed however, please take a look at the requirements section to see what is on the road-map. It would also benefit you to take a look at the weekly standup etherpad document that gets updated every week. This document will get you up to speed on what each individual team/individual is currently working on. Lastly, don't hesitate to ask community members questions!

 = Overview =
-LBaaS (Load-balancer-as-a-Service) is Quantum extension that introduces load balancing feature set into the core.  It became a sub-project of Quantum per decisions in "San Diego Oct-2012 Design Summit" since there was huge interest from Vendors and Community to participate in this effort.

-[[Quantum/LBaaS/HavanaPlan]]
+[[Neutron_LBaaS_Arch]]
-== Current Design Discussions + whats need to be done ==
-# Initial Discussions Document [[NetworkLoadBalancingIntegrationsWithQuantum]]
-#* May need to specify workflow of LB provisioning in all scenarios that LBaaS is going to support.
-# Object Model proposal - [[LBaaS/CoreResourceModel/proposal]]
-#* All agreed upon.  Might need minor update to include resources needed for device management (HW device catalog)
-# Tenant REST API - main proposal [[Quantum/LBaaS/API_1.0]]
-#* Discussion about tenant_id in URL ended with most people agreeing to go with 2.0 style or URL (no tenant_id in URL)
-# Service Insertion - Spring Proposal [http://wiki.openstack.org/QuantumServicesInsertion ServicesInsertion] and Fall Proposal [[Quantum/ServiceInsertion]]
-#* Things to be discussed:
-#*# Insertion modes: what is simplest and what should be implemented in the first place.
-#*# changes in existing resource model (router)
-#*# service catalog configuration
-#*# API
-# Agreed on:
-## '''Single Plugin per service type at a time. Vendor specific device access is implemented via drivers. Drivers could provide vendor-specific extra features. 1:1 mapping between extensions and plugins.'''
-# Provider API / Device Management - proposal [[Quantum/DeviceManagementAPI]]
-#* The document describes API/process of registering a physical appliance as an LB device.
-# Balancer provisioning - proposal [[Quantum/LBaaS/Provisioning/proposal]]
-#* The document needs to be updated with workflows that correspond to (1)
-# Overall code architecture proposal [[Quantum/LBaaS/Architecture]]
-#* Contains overall picture of components and what they do.  Sequence diagram needs to be updated according to latest decision about async execution.
-# Miscellaneous
-## Device Locking - proposal [[Quantum/LBaaS/Architecture/ConcurrentRequests]]
-## Asynchronous execution (discussion):
-##* Client gets immediate response with Job ID which it polls later on. May need to have short design spec on this.
-# Inter-service resource dependency (discussion):
-#* Resources of different advanced services may depend on one another. Solution options: (?)
-# Support "Service Type" in LBaaS API. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H_OQa-Vm4oqp-Cs-s47xhatUq4mMLZWZVTIu0ypHLlA/edit
