While implementing an API driver for VMware loadbalancing platforms, we ran into several difficulties which, I believe, might impact other vendors as well. The current approach of passing only the object id in delete operation forces the driver to either run within Octavia's context, or maintain a full state in order to map a sub-object id (e.g listener), to a loadbalancer, which it should be deleted from. With updates the problem is more complex as for reference the driver has to maintain a full state of the object - not only mapping to the loadbalancer. We already know what maintaining a mirror state is painful as we experienced this for a while with LBaaSv2 and Octavia. As an alternative, the driver could retreive the properties from the appliance which may be a costly operation and will only resolve the update challenges.

Octavia
Octavia is an operator-grade open source scalable load balancer for use in large OpenStack deployments. It delivers load balancing services on amphorae and provides centralized command and control. Octavia is currently the reference backend for Neutron LBaaS. In the near future, Octavia is likely to become the standard OpenStack LBaaS API endpoint.
