QuantumEssexRoadmap

Note: this is an informal brainstorm.

When blueprints are created, they should be linked to the correct milestone at launchpad, which is where the official and up-to-date roadmap will be.

Main Essex Goals: - Nova-parity: Provide feature parity with traditional Nova networking. Quantum use cases should be a super-set of Nova networking use cases. - Production Readiness: automated functional/integration/scale testing. Support for keystone. - API v1.1: limited API changes based on lessons learned in Diablo - Developers: build developer community, make it easier to work on Quantum

Each item below is tagged with the corresponding goal.

E1

QuantumManager DHCP + L3 Gateway + NAT (nova-parity, Brad)
Quantum packaging (production readiness, Tyler, Brad)
Quantum Standalone Functional Test v1 (production readiness, Carl P., others?)
Keystone authN (production readiness, Somik, Salvatore)
QuantumManager: support + test specified nets at VM boot (User flow, Dan)
novaclient: specify nets when booting VM (User flow, Dan)
API framework changes for v1.1 (API, Salvatore)

E2

API Filtering (API, Salvatore, other?)
Quantum w/Nova + Melange Integration Test v1 (production readiness, Carl P., others?)
Dashboard: specify networks when booting a VM (User flow, Arvind, Mark, Somik)
Dashboard: create melange subnets with network (User flow, Arvind, Mark, Somik)
QuantumManager: Floating IP, with melange integration (nova-parity, Ram's team)
API operational status (API, Salvatore)
QuantumManager: EC2 metadata server logic (nova parity, Brad)
Keystone authZ, allow tenants to create networks, but not ports (User flow, Somik?)

E3
