One Convergence's policy based networking solution simplifies OpenStack cloud deployments by leveraging higher-level, reusable abstractions capturing user intent. This simplification goes beyond basic networking by reducing the onerous deployment of Layer 4-Layer 7 network services such as load balancers, firewalls and VPN gateways.
This talk will highlight the benefits of One Convergence's policy based solution for L4-L7 service deployment by demonstrating: An easy and flexible service insertion model: Orchestration of popular open-source based virtual network appliances such as HAProxy load balancer, VyOS Firewall and VPN, via redirect to a service chain abstraction A highly improved user model: Reduced complexity in service configuration by deriving from operator expressed L2/L3 policy Flexibility and extensibility of the policy model: Incorporating commercial OEM virtual appliances and extension of configuration to support newer features Non-disruptive layer on top of Neutron for seamless service delivery: Leveraging Neutron *aaS plugin framework to render service configuration
