If extension data records for networks or subnets are missing, the
gbp-validate tool will now fail, or attempt to repair them if repair
is enabled. For external Neutron networks, the DN of the ACI
ExternalNetwork must be supplied via the migrate_ext_net_dns configuration
option in the ml2_apic_aim group, which is a dictionary keyed by the
network_id.

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.
