Contains the specification of the initial version of the haproxy amphora RESTful API. Note that this is likely to be expanded upon later as amphora lifecycle concerns and network integration strategy become more concrete.

HAProxy Amphora API
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/octavia/+spec/appliance-api
|
|
|
|
The reference implementation of Octavia is going to make use of an haproxy-
|
|
based amphora. As such, there will be an haproxy reference driver that speaks
|
|
a well-defined protocol to the haproxy-based amphora. This document is meant
|
|
to be a foundation of this interface, outlining in sufficient detail the
|
|
various commands that will definitely be necessary. This design should be
|
|
iterated upon as necessary going forward.
|
|
|
|
Problem description
|
|
===================
|
|
This API specification is necessary in order to fully develop the haproxy
|
|
reference driver, both to ensure this interface is well documented, and so that
|
|
different people can work on different parts of bringing Octavia to fruition.
|
|
|
|
Proposed change
|
|
===============
|
|
Note that this spec does not yet attempt to define the following, though these
|
|
may follow shortly after this initial spec is approved:
|
|
* Method for bi-directional authentication between driver and amphora.
|
|
* Bootstrapping process of amphora
|
|
* Transition process from "spare" to "active" amphora and other amphora
|
|
lifecycle transitions
|
|
|
|
This spec does attempt to provide an initial foundation for the following:
|
|
* RESTful interface exposed on amphora management

REST API impact

|
---------------
|
|
Please note that the proposed changes in this spec do NOT affect either the
|
|
publicly-exposed user or operator APIs, nor really anything above the
|
|
haproxy reference driver.

Security impact

|
|
to be addressed.
