[Engine-devel] quantum-ovirt integration meeting summary

Hi All, This is a summary of the first quantum-oVirt integration meeting. In the meeting Garry Kotton started presenting his proposal for the integration, for more details on his proposal look in - http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Quantum_and_oVirt We did not cover much of the wiki as some question arose: * What is the end goal of the integration? is it to replace the current network configuration implementation in oVirt by quantum or have them side by side. - we need to remember non-VM networks (like storage and migration networks) * Will oVirt use multiple quantum instances, one per technology, or will oVirt use a single quantum instance that should support multiple plug-ins (not supported in Quantum ATM) * We'll oVirt support a mix of different technologies in a DC, Cluster, host? - Can we assume homogeneous clusters for the sake of simplicity (in a single cluster we'll support either open Vswitch or UCSM or ..) - Logical Network is defined in the scope of a data center, that means we need to maintain layer 2 connectivity and within a cluster we need to guarantee VM live migration (does libvirt abstract it for us?) other notes - * The UUIDs that are returned by Quantum will be managed by oVirt and for a single network implemented in two different technologies in quantum oVirt will be responsible to sync the different IDs. * The integration should be as seamless as possible to the user of oVirt * support of existing VLAN in quantum should be introduces in quantum in a 3-4 weeks time-frame Comments are welcomed, I'll schedule a follow up next week. Thanks, Livnat
