Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install amphora-agent on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is amphora-agent
amphora-agent is:
Openstack Load Balancer as a Service, codenamed Octavia was borne
out of the Neutron LBaaS project. Its conception influenced
the transformation of the Neutron LBaaS project, as Neutron LBaaS
moved from version 1 to version 2. Starting with the Liberty
release of OpenStack, Octavia has become the reference implementation
for Neutron LBaaS version 2.
Octavia accomplishes its delivery of load balancing services by
managing a fleet of virtual machines, containers, or bare metal
servers—collectively known as amphorae— which it spins up on demand.
This on-demand, horizontal scaling feature differentiates Octavia from
other load balancing solutions, thereby making Octavia truly
suited “for the cloud.”.
This package provides Octavia Amphora Agent.
