During the Queens release cycle we announced the deprecation of
neutron-lbaas and neutron-lbaas-dashboard[1].

Today we are announcing the expected end date for the neutron-lbaas
and neutron-lbaas-dashboard deprecation cycles. During September 2019
or the start of the “U” OpenStack release cycle, whichever comes
first, neutron-lbaas and neutron-lbaas-dashboard will be retired. This
means the code will be be removed and will not be released as part of
the "U" OpenStack release per the infrastructure team’s “retiring a
project” process[2].

We continue to maintain a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) wiki page
to help answer additional questions you may have about this process:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/LBaaS/Deprecation

For more information or if you have additional questions, please see
the following resources:

The FAQ: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/LBaaS/Deprecation

Reach out to us via IRC on the Freenode IRC network, channel #openstack-lbaas

Weekly Meeting: 20:00 UTC on Wednesdays in #openstack-lbaas on the
Freenode IRC network.

Hi Michael,

Are all the backends that are supported by lbaas supported by octavia? I can’t see a page that lists the supported backends.

Eg. We use lbaas with the midonet driver and I can’t tell if this will still work when switching over?

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,

We worked with the providers[1] to develop the new provider driver
specification for Octavia and from that process the existing drivers
will need some modifications. Our hope is this new specification will
speed up the availability of vendor driver updates by empowering the
providers to manage their own patches and releases.

I have created this page to help track the available provider drivers:
https://docs.openstack.org/octavia/latest/admin/providers.html

To date, there are two drivers (Octavia Amphroa and OVN) available and
two third party providers are almost ready with their drivers.

Unfortunately I do not have any information to share about the MidoNet
provider. I recommend you contact them directly to understand their
plans for migrating to Octavia.

Michael
