Hi all, Horizon team is now thinking the drop of nova-network support in Pike. I would like to ask operators' feedback on this. Is it time to drop nova-network support?
This means neutron will be a requirement if you enable 'compute' dashboard. The following describes the detail. This is due to the deprecation of nova-network in Nova Newton and also because python-novaclient 8.0.0 (in Pike) dropped nova-network support (security group and floating IP). Note that Nova still support nova-network even in Pike or later as long as you use Nova API up to 2.35. Horizon depends on python-novaclient to talk with Nova API and python-novaclient 8.0.0 or later version will be a part of Pike release. This means horizon nova-network support of security group and floating IP will be broken. From this reason horizon team is thinking to drop nova-network support. - One other approach is to implement its own python binding for nova-network in horizon, but we lack development resource to maintain it even though it is implemented. - Another approach is to keep the current code and enable it only if python-novaclient < 8.0.0 is installed. It raises another problem that two versions of novaclient needs to be installed and it is not able to do it if you use distribution package on a single host for a controller.
