<p class="MsoNormal">* Is multi-region a thing in STX? Will we be doing both distributed cloud and multi-region? There's a fairly long history of the term "multi-region" in openstack and I'm wondering if that is the same thing or not?<o:p></o:p></p>

spans multiple releases, we could leave it in as a placeholder if the feature isn’t ready for May but will be in November.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:red">[Greg] yeah ... still TBD whether we continue to support Multi-Region in STX ... it has not had a lot of uptake.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:red">It still makes sense as a possible scenario ... i.e. a Primary Region and multiple Secondary Regions sharing some services of the Primary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Of course. My assumption was that such would be a level of detail for that document’s author to address.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:red">Yeah ... we’ll point upstream where we can ... but provider networks are not fully modelled in Neutron. We tried to upstream this to Neutron but it was turned down.
So the high level modelling of the configuration of the provider networks themselves was moved to STX as part of the infrastructure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
