features:
|
|
- |
|
|
Octavia now supports provider drivers. This allows third party load
|
|
balancing drivers to be integrated with the Octavia v2 API. Users select
|
|
the "provider" for a load balancer at creation time.
|
|
- |
|
|
There is now an API available to list enabled provider drivers.
|
|
upgrade:
|
|
- |
|
|
Two new options are included with provider driver support. The
|
|
enabled_provider_drivers option defaults to "amphora, octavia" to support
|
|
existing Octavia load balancers. The default_provider_driver option
|
|
defaults to "amphora" for all new load balancers that do not specify a
|
|
provider at creation time. These defaults should cover most existing
|
|
deployments.
|
|
- |
|
|
The provider driver support requires a database migration and follows
|
|
Octavia standard rolling upgrade procedures; database migration followed
|
|
by rolling control plane upgrades. Existing load balancers with no
|
|
provider specified will be assigned "amphora" as part of the database
|
|
migration.
|
|
deprecations:
|
|
- |
|
|
The Octavia API handlers are now deprecated and replaced by the new
|
|
provider driver support. Octavia API handlers will remain in the code to
|
|
support the Octavia v1 API (used for neutron-lbaas).
|
|
- |
|
|
Provider of "octavia" has been deprecated in favor of "amphora" to clarify
|
|
the provider driver supporting the load balancer.
|
|
other:
|
|
- |
|
|
A provider driver developer guide has been added to the documentation to
|
|
aid driver providers.
|
|
- |
|
|
An operator documentation page has been added to list known Octavia
|
|
provider drivers and provide links to those drivers.
|
|
Non-reference drivers, drivers other than the "amphora" driver, will be
|
|
outside of the octavia code repository but are dynamically loadable via
|
|
a well defined interface described in the provider driver developers
|
|
guide.
|
|
- |
|
|
Installed drivers need to be enabled for use in the Octavia
|
|
configuration file once you are ready to expose the driver to users.
