Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving
|
|
scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.
|
|
|
|
GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies
|
|
that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond
|
|
basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and
|
|
network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include
|
|
service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.
|
|
|
|
GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements
|
|
using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy
|
|
rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.
|
|
|
|
GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract
|
|
and consume complex network service chains and graphs.
