Adds a new multi pool driver to support hybrid environments where some
nodes are Bare Metal while others are running inside VMs, therefore
having different VIF drivers (e.g., neutron and nested-vlan)
This new multi pool driver is the default pool driver used even if a
different vif_pool_driver is set at the config option. However if the
configuration about the mappings between the different pools and pod vif
drivers is not provided at the pools_vif_drivers config option of vif_pool
configuration section only one pool driver will be loaded -- using the
standard vif_pool_driver and pod_vif_driver config options, i.e., using
the one selected at kuryr.conf options.
To enable the option of having different pools depending on the node's pod
vif types, you need to state the type of pool that you want for each pod
vif driver, e.g.:
.. code-block:: ini
[vif_pool]
pools_vif_drivers=nested:nested-vlan,neutron:neutron-vif
This will use a pool driver nested to handle the pods whose vif driver is
nested-vlan, and a pool driver neutron to handle the pods whose vif driver
is neutron-vif. When the controller is requesting a vif for a pod in
node X, it will first read the node's annotation about pod_vif driver to
use, e.g., pod_vif: nested-vlan, and then use the corresponding pool
driver -- which has the right pod-vif driver set.
Note that if no annotation is set on a node, the default pod_vif_driver
is used.
