Georedundancy reorganization and enhancement to the introduction
- Use case structure reorganized again - A new, georedundancy.rst has been created (as in L3VPN case) - Parent chapter (2.4) for all geuredundancy usecases added (as in L3VPN case) - Introduction moved to the parent chapter (2.4) - Learnings of the OPNFV Summit netready breakout added to the intro of the use cases Change-Id: I8260269f6a2b981e9a0f226e11bed5f3cecf8b3b Signed-off-by: csatari <gergely.csatari@nokia.com>

-Georedundancy: Connection between different OpenStack cells
------------------------------------------------------------
-Georedundancy refers to a configuration which ensures the service continuity of
-the VNF-s even if a whole datacenter fails [Q: Do we include or exclude VNF
-pooling?].
-
-This can be achieved by redundant VNF-s in a hot (spare VNF is running its
-configuration and internal state is synchronised to the active VNF),
-warm (spare VNF is running, its configuration is synchronised to the active VNF)
-or cold (spare VNF is not running, active VNF-s configuration is stored in a
-database and dropped to the spare VNF during its activation) standby state in a
-different datacenter from where the active VNF-s are running.
-The synchronisation and data transfer can be handled by the application or the infrastructure.
-In all of these georedundancy setups there is a need for a network connection
-between the datacenter running the active VNF and the datacenter running the
-spare VNF.
-
-In case of a distributed cloud it is possible that the georedundant cloud of an application
-is not predefined or changed and the change requires configuration in the underlay networks.
-
-This set of georedundancy use cases is about enabling the possiblity to select a datacenter as
-backup datacenter and build the connectivity between the NFVI-s in the
-different datacenters in a programmable way.
-
-As an example the following picture (:numref:`georedundancy-before`) shows a
-multicell cloud setup where the underlay network is not fully mashed.

-
-Each datacenter (DC) is a separate OpenStack cell, region or instance. Let's
-assume that a new VNF is started in DC b with a Redundant VNF in DC d. In this
-case a direct underlay network connection is needed between DC b and DC d. The
-configuration of this connection should be programable in both DC b and DC d.
-The result of the deployment is shown in the following figure

+Connection between different OpenStack cells
+--------------------------------------------
Description
^^^^^^^^^^^
There should be an API to manage the infrastructure-s networks between two
OpenStack cells.
(Note: In the Mitaka release of OpenStack cells v1 are considered as, cells v2
functionaity is under implementation)
+This capability exists in the different SDN controllers, like the Add New BGP
+neighbour API of OpenDaylight. OpenStack Neutron should provide and abstracted
+API for this functionality what later calls the given SDN controllers related
+API.
-- Maybe the existing capability of Neutron to have several subnets associated
- to an external network is enough?
-
-Requirements
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Derrived Requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Possibility to define a remote and a local endpoint
- As in case of cells the nova-api service is shared it should be possible
to identify the cell in the API calls
-Northbound API / Workflow
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""
+Northbound API
+""""""""""""""
- An infrastructure network management API is needed
- When the endpoints are created neutron is configured to use the new network.
(Note: Nova networking is not considered as it is deprecated.)
