--- deprecations: - | The ``vsctl`` ovsdb driver is now deprecated for removal. The default ovsdb interface has now been updated to ``native``. This will use the ovs python binding instead of invoking the ``ovs-vsctl`` CLI. The ``native`` backend both outperforms the ``vsctl`` backend and require no elevated privileges to configure the ovsdb. This both improves security and reduces plug and unplug time. upgrade: - | os-vif now uses the ``native`` ovsdb driver instead of ``vsctl`` driver. This reduces the number of privileged call that os-vif need to make and generally improves plugging performance. In future release the ``vsctl`` backend will be removed.
