VPNaaS 2.0 (vpn, vpnservices, ikepolicies, ipsecpolicies, endpoint-groups, ipsec-site-connections)

The Virtual-Private-Network-as-a-Service (VPNaaS) extension enables OpenStack projects to extend private networks across the public telecommunication infrastructure.

This initial implementation of the VPNaaS extension provides:

  • Site-to-site VPN that connects two private networks.

  • Multiple VPN connections per project.

  • IKEv1 policy support with 3des, aes-128, aes-256, or aes-192 encryption.

  • IPsec policy support with 3des, aes-128, aes-192, or aes-256 encryption, sha1 authentication, ESP, AH, or AH-ESP transform protocol, and tunnel or transport mode encapsulation.

  • Dead Peer Detection (DPD) with hold, clear, restart, disabled, or restart-by-peer actions.

This extension introduces these resources:

  • service. A parent object that associates VPN with a specific subnet and router.

  • ikepolicy. The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) policy that identifies the authentication and encryption algorithm to use during phase one and two negotiation of a VPN connection.

  • ipsecpolicy. The IP security policy that specifies the authentication and encryption algorithm and encapsulation mode to use for the established VPN connection.

  • ipsec-site-connection. Details for the site-to-site IPsec connection, including the peer CIDRs, MTU, authentication mode, peer address, DPD settings, and status.

VPN Endpoint Groups

The endpoint-groups extension adds support for defining one or more endpoints of a specific type, and can be used to specify both local and peer endpoints for IPsec connections.

VPN Flavors

The vpn-flavors extension adds the flavor_id attribute to vpnservices resources. During vpnservice creation, if a flavor_id is passed, it is used to find the provider for the driver which would handle the newly created vpnservice.
