Thomas Bachman 5588d7217e Add support for ussuri
Add support for the ussuri stable branch.
* Removed use of services in devstack (e.g. FWaaS and LBaas), which
  were only used by the deprecated legacy plugin.
* https://review.opendev.org/#/c/572767/ changed the return
  value of _get_security_groups_on_port from a list of security
  group IDs to a list of security group OVOs. The monkey patch
  of this method has been updated to be consistent with this
  upstream change.
* https://review.opendev.org/#/c/703143/ removed the upstream
  get_binding_levels, which is replaced by the corresponding
  OVO call, get_binding_level_objs.
* https://review.opendev.org/#/c/709122/ broke the __repr__
  method in the AddressScope model class. This patch works
  around this by using the dictionary representation instead.
* https://review.opendev.org/#/c/679399/ made the MTU field
  of networks non-nullable, and sets it to a constant if not
  set explicitly. This broke GBP APIs which create networks
  as part of their implementation. This patch adds a monkey
  patch to pass in a value of 0, if one wasn't specified.
* Fixed alias uncovered by PEP8 checks.

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>
