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.
