About Fuel plugins
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
TBD
|
||||
You can extend the functionality of your OpenStack environment through Fuel
|
||||
plugins. Some Fuel plugins eliminate the need to install drivers and patches
|
||||
manually after Fuel deploys an OpenStack environment, while others
|
||||
enable users to configure additional capabilities, such as additional storage
|
||||
types and networking functionality. For example, the
|
||||
`Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS) <https://github.com/openstack/fuel-plugin-neutron-lbaas>`_
|
||||
plugin allows you to add network load balancing functionality to your cloud,
|
||||
so that incoming traffic can be spread across multiple nodes. You can use the
|
||||
`Nova NFS plugin <https://github.com/openstack/fuel-plugin-nova-nfs>`_
|
||||
so that you can use `NFS <https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System>`_
|
||||
as a storage backend for Nova ephemeral volumes. There is a number of Fuel
|
||||
plugins available to download for free
|
||||
in `DriverLog <http://stackalytics.com/report/driverlog?project_id=openstack/fuel>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, Fuel offers an open source framework that enables developers to
|
||||
create their own plugins and extend their environment functionalities as
|
||||
required. For example, hardware vendors can benefit from using the plugin
|
||||
framework by creating plugins that deploy custom drivers and enable OpenStack
|
||||
to run on custom hardware.
