--- prelude: > For the OpenStack Pike release, the Octavia team is excited to announce Octavia version 1.0.0 and introduce the Octavia v2 API. Octavia can now be deployed without neutron-lbaas as a standalone endpoint. The Octavia v2 API is fully backward compatible with the neutron-lbaas v2 API and is a superset of the neutron-lbaas v2 API.
