Among the commonly overlooked issues encountered when deploying Neutron is how to route traffic to and from tenant networks. Many deployments are constrained such that statically routing tenant networks is sufficient. However, when tenants start using IPv6 and the scale of a deployment grows dynamic routing of tenant prefixes may become preferable to statically routing tenant prefixes. In this session we will discuss how to use features added to Neutron over the last few cycles such as subnet pools, address scopes, and course Neutron BGP announcement to begin using dynamic routing in conjunction with a Neutron deployment.
Attendees should expect to gain awareness of some newer Neutron features like address scopes and BGP announcement, how to configure them in Neutron, and use these features to operate a more efficient cloud.
