Track: OpenStack DACH Day 2014
In this session we will give an introduction of the OpenStack Networking (Neutron) project. We will cover the basic concepts of OpenStack Networking, and then drill into more details around the existing Open Source implementations, and the commercial alternatives like VMware NSX. We will also look into the Neutron Architecture, and discuss monolithic Plugins vs. the Modular Plugin (ML2) that recently came out with the OpenStack Havana release. We will wrap up this session with a Q&A and general discussion.
