----------------------------------------------
Summary: Retirement of midonet plugin (disabling ticket)
Key: CLOUDSTACK-9858
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9858
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Reporter: Rafael Weingärtner
Assignee: Rafael Weingärtner
Recently there have been two threads asking and discussing the “midonet”
integration with Apache CloudStack (ACS) [1-2].
After quite some discussions, we noticed that despite having some people
willing to use it, the plugin has never been fully developed by its vendor
(Midokura). Further, nobody else has put the effort on fully testing and
finishing its implementation. It seems that the plugin was incorporated into
our code base without being fully finished. Moreover, I have asked around at
the Midonet community, and the java client they use has changed quite a bit
from the one we use.
It begs the question if it does not work, why do we advertise such integration?

Following the component retirement process defined in [4], a vote thread was
started in [5]. The community decided to retire this Midonet plugin. This task
represents the first step of the retirement, which is the disabling of the
plugin in CloudStack`s build process.
