When binding container to network , port doesnt show in Horizon UI

[Gal Sagie]

The connection between the port and network in Horizon UI "Network Topology" is not seen.
It seems the network has no ports.

(Need to add device_owner to port structure)

I am not an expert on Horizon code, but it seems that to be present in the neutron topology, the entity should be one of the following entities: Network, Router, LB, Nova instance (VM/BM). I think special treatment will be required to present Container. I would like to suggest to update device_owner for kuryr plugged container with something like 'kuryr:container' or 'networking:container' and update device_id to be container ID.

@irena You are right. If set it to something like 'kuryr:container', then it will not be shown on Horizon.

@gal-sagie What's your opinion?

Its not merged yet, so setting status to "in progess".

@feisky: I checked with Kilo OS release, and given this patch, Container is not shown in the topology view. But user can see list of ports connected to the networks and can see the port that Container plugged into with all relevant details (device_owner and device_id). Even if the 'nova:compute' helps to see container in Liberty, I would suggest to keep this patch as WIP and use for Demo but not merge (after all is a workaround for demo). I think the best would be to handle this properly by Horizon.

    Add device_owner while creating neutron port.

    1. Set device_id to endpoint id
    2. Set device_owner to kuryr:container
