Mitaka Series Release Notes¶
0.8.0¶
New Features¶
Adds support for Layer 7 switching and shared pools features to Octavia. This supports the equivalent feature added to Neutron LBaaS v2.
Layer 7 policies allow a tenant / user to define actions the load balancer may take other than routing requests to the default pool.
Layer 7 rules control the logic behind whether a given Layer 7 policy is followed.
Works for HTTP and TERMINATED_HTTPS listeners.
Shared pools allow listeners or Layer 7 REDIRECT_TO_POOL policies to share back-end pools.
Glance image containing the latest Amphora image can now be referenced using a Glance tag. To use the feature, set amp_image_tag in [controller_worker]. Note that amp_image_id should be unset for the new feature to take into effect.
Active/Standby support for Octavia.
When enabled in the configuration file, Octavia will boot an active and standby amphora for each load balancer.
Session persistence is maintained between the active and standby amphora.
Amphora failover is supported when active/standby is enabled. Should the master or backup amphora fail, the health manager will rebuild it.
