Congratulations! If you made it here, then you must have a provider ready to go =)

Poppy uses the Stevedore framework to configure Drivers into the application.

/setup.cfg::

Add an entry point in setup.cfg so that Poppy recognizes your new driver and operators can start to use it.

 poppy.provider =
 {your_provider_name} = poppy.provider.{your_provider_name}:Driver

This will allow Poppy to detect your provider, and use it in configurations.

Once you have registered your Stevedore plugin, please add it to the configuration.

/etc/poppy.conf::

 # Provider modules list (a list of comma separated provider module list)
 providers = mock,fastly,akamai,{your_provider_name}

 [drivers:provider:{your_provider_name}]
 username = "MY_USERNAME"
 apikey = "MY_APIKEY"

where username and apikey are configuration parameters that your driver may require to communicate with your backend api.
