Thomas Bachman 2e5ec528b6 Use top-level contract references 
Contract references in aci-integration-module (AIM) were previously
created or destroyed by modifying list members of the ExternalNetwork
resource.  This caused problems when the ExternalNetwork was monitored
state but the contract references were meant to be configured state,
as the view of the monitored universe/state could be inconsistent from
time to time, causing the contract references to inadvertently get
deleted.

A recent commit (9076bd8738e27052e75ec53052e509c54c4b91ea) in AIM made
the contract references top-level resources, so that their creation or
removal can only be made directly. The aim_lib module was changed to
support passing lists of provided and consumed contracts expclicitly,
in order to adopt these changes.

README.rst

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.

Checkout the GBP wiki page for more detailed information: <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GroupBasedPolicy>

The latest code is available at: <http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/group-based-policy>.

GBP project management (blueprints, bugs) is done via Launchpad: <https://launchpad.net/group-based-policy>
