Excluding the gbpservice/tests/contrib/nfp_service/ from python27 tests by moving out the directory permanently to gbpservice/contrib/. Fixed file path references in few files as part of this. Enabled whole gbpservice tests instead of just gbpservice/neutron in .testr.conf. Fixed FW and VPN driver UTs as part of this. Fixed pep8 warnings in reference controller. As part of this, added oslo.i18n installation to nfp reference configurator vm, and used gbpservice._i18n.py for i18n in logs. Fix to mock rmq connection in the advanced controller unit tests Change-Id: I4743e44f86e78b7d19ccd824a7c65195f12f856d Closes-Bug: 1684076
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.
