Fuel Plugins
============
Starting with version 6.0, Fuel supports a Pluggable architecture.
Fuel plugins allow you to install and configure additional capabilities for
your cloud, such as additional storage types and networking functionality.
For example, a Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS) plugin allows you to add
network load balancing functionality to your cloud so that incoming traffic
can be spread across multiple nodes. Or you might want to use a GlusterFS
plugin so that you can use a Gluster file system as backend for Cinder
volumes.
Finding Plugins
---------------
For production versions of plugins, including certified plugins, see
`Released Plugins Catalog`_.
For instructions on installing Fuel plugins, see `Installing Plugins`_.
Finding documentation
---------------------
You can find Fuel Plugins documentation in the following sources:
* Development issues - `Plugins Wiki`_ page.
* Common installation instructions - `Install Fuel Plugins`_ and
`CLI command reference`_ sections in the User Guide.
* Specific installation instructions - `Fuel Plugins Catalog`_.
OpenStack Fuel-plugins Repository
---------------------------------
This repository contains plugin example, and the Fuel plugin builder tool
(fpb). The plugin code here might not be suitable for production use please
see `Released Plugins Catalog`_ to download release versions of these and
other Fuel plugins.
Creating your own plugins
-------------------------
Detailed instructions can be found in the `Plugins Wiki`_ page.
Plugins should be built using the ``fuel-plugin-builder`` (fpb) utility
found in this repoistory or via ``pip``. ``fpb`` will ensure that build
steps as well as validation is performed prior to assembling a package.
Abbreviated instructions:
.. code:: bash
pip install fuel-plugin-builder
fpb --create fuel_plugin_name
fpb --build <path to plugin>
This will:
* install fuel-plugin-builder
* clone the fuel_plugin_example plugin with the name fuel_plugin_name
* build the plugin ``.rpm`` package.
