Chapter 6.  Using OpenDaylight with OpenStack

In Chapter 5, Getting Started with OpenDaylight, we introduced OpenDaylight as an open source SDN project that supports SDN protocols such as OpenFlow and OVSDB. In a cloud environment, ODL interacts with OpenStack Neutron to provide the network abstractions necessary for flexible and scalable application deployment. In the previous chapter, we also discussed the OpenDaylight and OpenStack integration in brief.

In this chapter, we will delve deeper into the integration of the ODL and OpenStack environment. Being an SDN solution, OpenDaylight integrates with OpenStack Neutron and handles the network provisioning requests. While Neutron is designed to support various virtual networking technologies, the integration with ODL is implemented using Open vSwitch-based virtual networking. This is because ODL uses OpenFlow and OVSDB protocols to configure virtual networks on the OpenStack compute nodes.

We will cover the following topics in...
