# Astara

A service with an open plugin architecture that manages Neutron advanced
services such as routers and load balancers within an OpenStack environment.

## The Name

Astara is the sanskrit word for carpet. So why name our project carpet?

The original code name for this project was simply "The RUG" which was a
reference to a line from the popular film "The Big Lebowski":

**That rug really tied the room together, did it not?**

The idea is that "The Rug" really ties OpenStack neutron together nicely. We
felt it was an apt description so we kept the name.

## Related Projects

The code for the Astara project lives in several separate repositories to ease
packaging and management:


  * [Astara](https://github.com/openstack/astara) -
    Contains the Orchestration service for managing the creation, configuration,
    and health of neutron advanced services as virtual network functions.

  * [Astara Appliance](https://github.com/openstack/astara-appliance) –
    Supporting software for the Astara virtual network appliance, which is
    a Linux-based service VM that provides routing and L3+ services in
    a virtualized network environment. This includes a REST API for managing
    the appliance via the Astara orchestration service.

  * [Astara Neutron](https://github.com/openstack/astara-neutron) – 
    Ancillary subclasses of several OpenStack Neutron plugins and supporting
    code.

  * [Astara Horizon](https://github.com/openstack/astara-horizon) -
    OpenStack Horizon Dashboard code.
