Neutron FWaaS v2 - No docs on how to enable it

[Aravindh]

I'm trying to enable neutron firewall as service plugin though kolla, but so far had no luck find the correct flag to be enabled on globals.yml.

Openstack Env: Yoga, multinode setup.
OS - Ubuntu 22.04

Could someone point me to the correct docs if its already possible to enable this? Thanks in advance.

You would need to override neutron_extension_drivers (it's a list) - https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/blob/66ec9cef5557770acb2bd89a107535150af243ba/ansible/roles/neutron/defaults/main.yml#L666

Hello Aravindh and Michal. The fwaas plugin was removed 3 years ago from kolla:https://opendev.org/openstack/kolla-ansible/commit/1c7ca296643074a41a526a9979253af1d4c5d057

It was explained that fwaas is not maintained anymore. But I see that it still exists:
https://github.com/openstack/neutron-fwaas
https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/zed/admin/fwaas.html

Is possible to unretire fwaas back to kolla?

I hope this gets added again, since openstack seem to have support for it even in Antelope..

it got re-added - together with docs how to enable - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/kolla-ansible/+/914854

Any chance this could get backported to existing stable releases? Been missing fwaas for the last few quite a bit.

We have merged in locally in our private git, but having it available on
older stable branches would be great..
