Giving up on trying to get this working.  Is there a plugin for Juno?  Cursory google search didn't reveal anything.

james_thomson · Answer

I don't believe the Juno supported version has been released yet?  When you say you had a "working icehouse version", would you say you had the ML2 plugin and the base LBAAS functioning working?&nbsp;
