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.
