Openstack Networking with Neutron

The intention of the presentation is to give a birds-eye view of networking in Openstack
based on the "default" setup with Neutron/Openvswitch. It's mostly aimed at people
familiar with network concepts, but not necessarily with deep Openstack experience.
Concepts that will be talked about include:

  • General Neutron design
  • ML2
  • Openvswitch
  • Overlay technologies like VXLAN and GRE
  • Provider networks and Tenant networks
  • Openstack routers, networks and subnets
  • Security Groups
  • Network Partitioning
  • Network namespaces
  • Floating IPs / NAT / PAT
  • Address scopes and Subnet pools
  • Neutron as a BGP speaker
  • Distributed Virtual Routers
  • HA routers
  • L2 and L3 agents
  • Plugins like for example VPNaaS and LBaaS
  • DHCP and Metadata services

What can I expect to learn?

The attendees will walk away from this session with general knowledge about many aspects of networking in Openstack with standard Neutron/Openvswitch setup. It's intended to give an overview of what options and features are available and a basic grasp of what they do and how they work.

Thursday, October 27, 9:00am-9:40am (7:00am - 7:40am UTC)
