This info no longer applies; these notes can be removed as soon as change https://review.openstack.org/#/c/142852/ merges.

• During the Kilo development cycle, the Neutron team has split out the advanced services (FWaaS, LBaaS, and VPNaaS) into separate git repositories. Because of this change, operators will need to modify their configuration files. The following note provides the changes required:
  • Modify neutron.conf as follows if you're using LBaaS with a service plugin:
    • LOADBALANCER:Haproxy:neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.drivers.haproxy.plugin_driver.HaproxyOnHostPluginDriver:default
  • Modify neutron.conf as follows if you're using VPNaaS with a service plugin:
    • VPN:openswan:neutron_vpnaas.services.vpn.service_drivers.ipsec.IPsecVPNDriver:default
  • You also need to change the individual advanced service configuration files to point to the new location for device drivers. Examples are given below:
    • For FWaaS: "driver = neutron_fwaas.services.firewall.drivers.linux.iptables_fwaas.IptablesFwaasDriver"
    • For LBaaS: "driver = neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.drivers.haproxy.namespace_driver.HaproxyNSDriver"
    • For VPNaaS: "driver = neutron_vpnaas.services.vpn.device_drivers.ipsec.OpenSwanDriver"
