armando-migliaccio 415f1eaf5b Revisit the structure of the specs repo 
Instead of having a per-release backlog directory, create
a top level one that holds the last release backlog. In
a healthy project this directory is really meant to be
empty or only temporary filled.

For specs that are two releases older, the content will
be moved to an 'archive' directory, purely for the record.
Hopefully this one too will be empty.

API and Juno incubator were moved to a miscellanea
directory to finish off the cleanup.

Finally, some blueprints completed and therefore were
moved to the Liberty directory.

Decompose vendor plugins/drivers for neutron-aas

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/decompose-aas

Move vendor service drivers out-of-tree, starting in Liberty, complete by the end of M. Includes ref implementations, if the Liberty summit decides to remove neutron ref implementations from in-tree.

Problem Description

As part of Kilo, neutron undertook a major effort to decompose vendor code out-of-tree[1]. During discussion of this feature, it was decided to allow service drivers to remain in-tree, as those repos have a smaller community, but to eventually adopt the same model.

This proposal attempts to outline the timeline for decomposing service drivers. This is not a purely Liberty focused spec, but instead attempts to communicate timelines and gather consensus around this topic for the next several cycles.

Proposed Change

All new service drivers which are not in gerrit as of when this spec is approved, must be out-of-tree shim style drivers, as show in the neutron vendor decomp spec[1].

Existing drivers have until the end of the M cycle to convert themselves to out-of-tree shims.

Third-party CI will be required/encouraged with the same rules as for neutron plugins.

Affected drivers:

Lbaas drivers, v1:

  • haproxy
  • radware
  • netscaler
  • embrane
  • a10networks
  • vmware

Lbaas drivers, v2:

  • radware
  • haproxy
  • a10networks
  • brocade
  • kemp

Firewall drivers, from neutron_fwaas/services/firewall/drivers:

  • cisco
  • freescale
  • linux
  • mcafee
  • varmour
  • vyatta

VPN

  • openswan (deprecated, will not move)
  • strongswan
  • cisco
  • vyatta
