I would +like to leverage that momentum and continue what we have done so far. + +My goal for Dragonflow is to make it a reference architecture to implement +networking and distributed networking services in an easy and simple +manner while supporting production grade and large scale requirements. + +I think that Dragonflow plug-able architecture is proving to be a strong +choice we made and is even being considered at other OpenStack networking +projects. This architecture can be extended further, to become more plug-able, +and allow external vendors to write their own drivers and applications. + +I also believe that our simplicity can be very appealing to users that +want a simple network virtualisation solution part of OpenStack. + +For the next cycle, I would like to see Dragonflow become a viable +choice for cloud deployments. This means a heavy stress on stabilisation, +deployment, and performance. + +I would also like to see new features make it into the release, such as +FWaaS, and LBaaS. + +I think Dragonflow also has a lot to offer outside of Openstack. With +some necessary additions such as API and AAA, Dragonflow can be a +virtual network implementation regardless of the ecosystem in which it +is used. Therefore, it could improve upon any cloud-networking system. + +Thank you, +Omer Anson (oanson).
