ExtraRoute plugin for OpenStack Heat
This plugin enables using ExtraRoute as a resource in a Heat template.
This resource allows assigning extra routes to Neutron routers via Heat templates.
NOTE: Implementing ExtraRoute in the main heat tree is under discussion in the heat community.
This plugin has been implemented in contrib to provide access to the functionality while the discussion takes place, as some users have an immediate requirement for it. It may be moved to the main heat tree in due-course, depending on the outcome of the community discussion.
1. Install the ExtraRoute plugin in Heat
NOTE: These instructions assume the value of heat.conf plugin_dirs includes the default directory /usr/lib/heat.
To install the plugin, from this directory run: sudo python ./setup.py install
2. Restart heat
Only the process "heat-engine" needs to be restarted to load the newly installed plugin.
