1. Introduction to midonet Taku Fukushima
2. Agenda 1. What is MidoNet? 2. Architecture 3. Community 4. Summary
3. What is MidoNet?
4. Why do we need MidoNet? • Demands for the virtualised networking • Faster and more flexible provisioning • Cloud IaaS requires virtualised networking • Multi-tenancy • Complete software-based solution
5. MidoNet Features • L2- L3 Logical Switching • Logical Routing • State-less and Stateful NAT • Logical and distributed Firewall • L4 Load Balancing • BGP and its ECMP multiplexing • GRE and VXLAN tunneling
6. MidoNet Features • OpenStack Neutron integration and MidoStack • REST API • VTEP support with OVSDB protocol • Partial Docker integration
7. History of MidoNet (a dev’s perspective) • Started with Midolman written in Python, OpenStack Austin, Open vSwitch (including userland features) • MidoNet 1.x • Re-written with Java • Scala was partially introduced • Open-sourced in Nov, 2014 New! • MidoNet 2.0 (WIP)

19. Community
20. Entering MidoNet community • Slack (midonet.slack.com) • Mailing list • Midolman code walkthrough • Code walk-through videos • GerritHub • Code review + CI with several tests
21. Documentation and help • Wiki • wiki.midonet.org • Documentations • docs.midonet.org • JIRA (Issue Tracker) • https://midonet.atlassian.net/
23. http://lists.midonet.org/pipermail/midonet-dev/
26. Summary
27. MidoNet rocks • True distributed architecture • Intelligence at the edge • Open-sourced under Apache License v2 • Growing community and ecosystem
