OpenStack Seattle Meetup: Neutron: Past, Present and Future

Presenter: Cynthia Thomas, Midokura

OpenStack is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform developed by the Open Source community and is designed to provide orchestration for building clouds on the fly. In this talk, we'll:

• Take a stroll down memory lane from a networking perspective.

• Recall the early stages of Nova-Networking and how it evolved to Neutron today.

• Look at what to expect in the future of Neutron.

We'll also discuss the network functionality and its shortcomings over the evolution of Neutron.
