I noticed that nova, neutron and cinder's rootwrap exec_dirs include
/usr/local/{sbin,bin} which is a standardised location for admins to
install non-distro executables, and these executables are no less
"trustworthy" than /usr/bin and friends. See neutron and cinder's
rootwrap.conf (and probably others), and typical distro default values
for sudoers/secure_path for extremely similar precedents that all include
/usr/local/*bin.
See the same patch of nova for more information:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/280052/1
And see I710cf142b834381c00e651cfc062299ae755c33f for brief discussion
of doing this via devstack before.

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 - Contains the Orchestration service for managing the creation, configuration, and health of neutron advanced services as virtual network functions.
-
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 – Ancillary subclasses of several OpenStack Neutron plugins and supporting code.
-
Astara Horizon - OpenStack Horizon Dashboard code.
Project Details
Astara is publicly managed through the Astara Launchpad project
