The purpose of the Tricircle project is to provide networking automation
|
|
across Neutron servers in multi-region OpenStack clouds deployment.
|
|
|
|
Each OpenStack cloud includes its own Nova, Cinder and Neutron, the Neutron
|
|
servers in these OpenStack clouds are called local Neuron servers, all these
|
|
local Neutron servers will be configured with the Tricircle Local Neutron
|
|
Plugin. A seperate Neutron server will be installed and run standalone as
|
|
the coordinator of networking automation across local Neutron servers, this
|
|
Neutron server will be configured with the Tricircle Central Neutron Plugin,
|
|
and is called central Neutron server.
|
|
|
|
Leverage the Tricircle Central Neutron Plugin and the Tricircle Local Neutron
|
|
Plugin configured in these Neutron servers, the Tricircle can ensure the
|
|
IP address pool, IP/MAC address allocation and network segment allocation
|
|
being managed globally without conflict, and the Tricircle handles tenant
|
|
oriented data link layer(Layer2) or network layer(Layer3) networking
|
|
automation across local Neutron servers, resources like VMs, bare metal or
|
|
containers of the tenant can communicate with each other via Layer2 or Layer3,
|
|
no matter in which OpenStack cloud these resources are running on.
|
|
|
|
Note: There are some our own definitions of Layer2/Layer3 networking
|
|
across Neutron. To make sure what they are, please read our design
|
|
documentation, especially "6.5 L2 Networking across Neutron". The wiki and
|
|
design documentation are linked below.
|
|
|
|
The Tricircle and multi-region OpenStack clouds will use shared
|
|
KeyStone(with centralized or distributed deployment) or federated KeyStones.
