OpenStack Essex Design Summit

In this session all parts involved in Netstack will resume the discussion we already had at the diablo summit concerning how NetStack services (Quantum at least at the moment) should interact with other services from nova (mainly compute and network),as well as other services from the Openstack Ecosystem (mainly the Dashboard). In the Diablo release cycle, great progress has already been done: - VIF drivers - Quantum Network Manager for nova-network - Quantum plugin for Openstack Dashboard Nevertheless, we still need to address some rather important points as standardizing the way in which the network service interacts with the compute service (and or the hypervisor), and viceversa. The aim of the session is to find (or at least pave the way for) a solution for a better integration of NetStack services with the rest of Openstack, buiding on the work performed in the diablo timeframe, and keeping in mind that one of the principles behind NetStack was to keep it as much as possible loosely coupled with the rest of Openstack services.
