GBP Kilo Release Notes

This is the second OpenStack Group Based Policy release. The release comprises of four components/repositories (Service, Client, Heat automation, Horizon UI) and is designed to work with OpenStack stable Kilo. This release has the following highlights:

• Multi-vendor technology agnostic Service Chain Composition architecture (refer to Node Composition Plugin, Node Drivers, and Node Plumbers). The older monolithic service plugin is now deprecated.
• Support for policy-based floating IP assignment
• Support for sharing Service Chain constructs
• Support for GBP Resource Quotas
• Performance optimization with changes to subnet allocation
• Devstack-based integration gate job
• Integration test suite
• Rally gate job
• Increased unit test coverage across components and drivers
• Enhanced UI with bug fixes and support for Service Profile
• Changed namespace for GBP Heat resources (new namespace is GroupBasedPolicy)
