# Using Ryu Network Operating System with OpenStack as OpenFlow controller

Caution

The Ryu plugin and OFAgent described in the following is deprecated, because Ryu is officially integrated into Open vSwitch agent with "of_interface = native" mode.

Ryu cooperates with OpenStack using Quantum Ryu plugin. The plugin is available in the official Quantum releases.

For more information, please visit http://github.com/osrg/ryu/wiki/OpenStack . We described instructions of the installation / configuration of OpenStack with Ryu, and we provide pre-configured VM image to be able to easily try OpenStack with Ryu.
