OpenStack integration with OpenDaylight
Various projects within OpenDaylight integrate OpenStack, such as the VTN project presented in a previous recipe. Within this recipe, we will focus on a different project, the network virtualization project NetVirt.
NetVirt is a virtualization solution using the Open vSwitch database project (OVSDB) as a southbound provider for both open vSwitch and hardware VTEP switches. The NetVirt project also support service function chaining (which will be discussed in the next recipe).
In this recipe, we will demonstrate OpenStack integrated with OpenDaylight using DevStack.
Getting ready
This recipe requires at least two OpenStack nodes, one control node, and one compute node (you could have more than one compute node), and an OpenDaylight distribution. For your convenience, an OVA image, working with VirtualBox, has been set up to provide all you need to easily bring up the deployment. It contains OpenStack Liberty with OpenDaylight Beryllium.
