Andreas Jaeger 24f24f8745 Prepare for using standard python tests
Add simple script to setup mysql and postgresql databases, this script
can be run by users during testing and will be run by CI systems for
specific setup before running unit tests. This is exactly what is
currently done by OpenStack CI in project-config.

This allows to change in project-config the python-db jobs to
python-jobs since python-jobs will call this script initially.

Tap as a Service

Tap-as-a-Service (TaaS) is an extension to the OpenStack network service (Neutron). It provides remote port mirroring capability for tenant virtual networks.

Port mirroring involves sending a copy of packets entering and/or leaving one port to another port, which is usually different from the original destinations of the packets being mirrored.

This service has been primarily designed to help tenants (or the cloud administrator) debug complex virtual networks and gain visibility into their VMs, by monitoring the network traffic associated with them. TaaS honors tenant boundaries and its mirror sessions are capable of spanning across multiple compute and network nodes. It serves as an essential infrastructure component that can be utilized for supplying data to a variety of network analytics and security applications (e.g. IDS).
