-Connection between different OpenStack regions or cloud instances
------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Description
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-There should be an API to manage the infrastructure-s networks between two
-OpenStack regions or instances.
-
-The following figure (:numref:`instances-architecture`) shows the architecture
-of the most relevant OpenStack components in multi instance OpenStack
-environment.
-
-.. figure:: images/instances-architecture.png
- :name: instances-architecture
- :width: 50%
-
-The functionality behind the API depends on the underlying network providers (SDN
-controllers) and the networking setup.
-(For example OpenDaylight has an API to add new BGP neighbor.)
-
-OpenStack Neutron should provide an abstracted API for this functionality what
-calls the underlying SDN controllers API.
-
-Derived 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
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- An infrastructure network management API is needed
-- API call to define the remote and local infrastructure endpoints
-- When the endpoints are created neutron is configured to use the new network.
-
-Data model objects
-++++++++++++++++++
-- local and remote endpoint objects (Most probably IP addresses with some
-additional properties).
-
-Current implementation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Current OpenStack implementation provides no way to set up the underlay
- network connection.
- OpenStack Tricircle project [TRICIRCLE]_
- has plans to build up inter datacenter L2 and L3 networks.
-
-Gaps in the current solution
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- An infrastructure management API is missing from Neutron where the local and
- remote endpoints of the underlay network could be configured.
