Hi, I’am currently testing Openstack as a VMware alternative in my company. Under VMware, we currently use the Bluecat API to automatically reserve IP addresses and set DNS names. Is there a Openstack Adaptive Plugin / Neutron Driver from Bluecat with the same features?

The article about the Adaptive Plugin only refers to “Openstack Train”, which is quite old and end-of-life since 2024:
https://bluecatnetworks.com/integrations/openstack/

I also found a GitHub page, but it hasn't been updated since 2018:
https://github.com/bluecatlabs/bluecat-openstack-drivers

Can one of these still be used for a current Openstack version (2025.2 or newer), or does Bluecat offer another solution for automating IPAM in OpenStack?

regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

Although the original author of the nova and neutron plugins I’ll have to defer and ask the field engineering team who picked up this work from me whether there are any plans to certify the plugin on later releases

Hi Brian,
thanks a lot for the clarification and for checking with the field engineering team. I’m happy to wait for an update.
