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!

+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.
-LBaaS (Load-balancer-as-a-Service) is Quantum extension that introduces load balancing feature set into the core.
+==== Features ====
-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.
