Software Defined Networking as a Charm in OpenStack (or others)

[Tim Fall]

Howdy from OpenStack Hong Kong everyone.

Some of you may be aware that MidoKura is working on JuJu support for our SDN virtual network. On that front, I have a question for consideration.

Since networking isn’t really a straightforward “component” of OpenStack that fits nicely inside a box, I was wondering what would be best way to go about integrating it for general use. The standard install process involves installing agents on each hypervisor, and doing upstream calls through the neutron API. Would it be wise to try to include this sort of thing as a pure charm and then establish service connections to the relevant components, or to try and include it as a networking “option” within other charms (like Neutron)?

Thanks for the thoughts!
