1.0.0

Prelude

The Octavia team is excited to release the 1.0.0 version of the Octavia dashboard. This dashboard uses the Octavia API endpoint via the OpenStackSDK. This release includes a number of improvements over the old neutron-lbaas-dashboard that worked against the neutron API endpoint. These improvements are listed below in the features section of this release note.

New Features

  • A new dashboard wizard for Octavia. Allows you to create an Octavia load balancer and related resources such as a listener, pool, pool members, and health monitor.

  • A view of all the existing Octavia load balancers.

  • Ability to view details of a Octavia load balancer and drill down to see details for the listener, pool, pool member, and health monitor resources.

  • Ability to create, update, and delete the Octavia load balancer, listener, pool, pool member, and health monitor resources.

  • Ability to associate and disassociate Floating IP addresses for a load balancer.

  • Ability to choose from SSL certificates stored by the key-manager service when creating a listener using the TERMINATED_HTTPS protocol.

  • Ability to choose from existing instances from the compute service or specify external members when adding members to a pool.

  • The object details pages now use a tabbed navigation for child objects.

  • Provisioning and operating status is now available on all object details pages.

  • Pools can now change the load balancing algorithm after creation.

  • Members now display the subnet_id on the details page.

  • Health monitors can now change the expected HTTP codes.

  • The session persistence for a pool can now be changed.

  • Created at and Updated at times are now visible on the details pages.

  • Health monitors can now use alternate IP addresses and ports.

  • Listener connection limits can now be updated.

  • All objects now allow setting the “Admin State”.

Known Issues

  • The Octavia-Dashboard requires openstacksdk >= 0.10.0 to resolve an issue with displaying the health monitor details page. It is expected this will be included in the OpenStack Queens release.

Upgrade Notes

  • This dashboard can be used alongside the neutron-lbaas-dashboard, but both dashboard panels will use the “Load Balancer” labels.

Other Notes

  • The neutron-lbaas Neutron extension is not required to use this dashboard. Load balancers created with neutron-lbaas that have not been migrated to Octavia may not be accessible via this dashboard. Only resources accessible via the Octavia API will be visible in this dashboard.
