Overview of this book

Networking is one the pillars of OpenStack and OpenStack Networking are designed to support programmability and Software-Defined Networks. OpenStack Networking has been evolving from simple APIs and functionality in Quantum to more complex capabilities in Neutron. Armed with the basic knowledge, this book will help the readers to explore popular SDN technologies, namely, OpenDaylight (ODL), OpenContrail, Open Network Operating System (ONOS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN). The first couple of chapters will provide an overview of OpenStack Networking and SDN in general. Thereafter a set of chapters are devoted to OpenDaylight (ODL), OpenContrail and their integration with OpenStack Networking. The book then introduces you to Open Network Operating System (ONOS) which is fast becoming a carrier grade SDN platform. We will conclude the book with overview of upcoming SDN projects within OpenStack namely OVN and Dragonflow. By the end of the book, the readers will be familiar with SDN technologies and know how they can be leveraged in an OpenStack based cloud.

SDN and OpenStack

In order to understand how SDN fits into the OpenStack ecosystem, let's revisit some of the learnings from the earlier sections of this chapter:

  • Network abstractions are required in order to provide a flexible environment for cloud-based applications
  • Networking must support programmatic APIs in order to dynamically provision the resources needed for applications and to integrate effectively with compute and storage resources
  • Centralized management of SDN is critical to support multi-vendor based cloud infrastructure

OpenStack and Network abstractions

As seen in the previous chapter, OpenStack supports simple abstractions such as network, subnet, router, firewall, and so on. These abstractions help cloud users to define applications and the required infrastructure as software entities. The advantage of this approach is that underlying physical infrastructure is unaware and independent of the applications running on it. Sophisticated orchestration entities and SDN controllers...
