Provider parameters for Network

[harmathy]

What would you like to see implemented?

It would be very beneficial being able to set provider:* parameter in NetworkResourceSpec, i.e.

• provider:network_type
• provider:physical_network and
• provider:segmentation_id.

This is a very good feature so we can also create provider networks using ORC. Thanks for creating an issue for this, @harmathy.

We have this issue on Gophercloud that may need to be closed before moving with this. Would you like to give it a try?

gophercloud/gophercloud#2843

More specific upstream issue would be gophercloud/gophercloud#1451

Turns out that we already have these fields on Gophercloud by using the provider extension. See https://github.com/gophercloud/gophercloud/blob/main/openstack/networking/v2/extensions/provider/doc.go#L23.

So this issue might be ready to be implemented. @harmathy would you like to give it a try? we're happy to implement ourselves as well 🙂
