---------------------------------------
Summary: framework for CloudStack to orchestrate virtual network
appliances to provide network services
Key: CLOUDSTACK-655
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-655
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Network Controller
Reporter: Murali Reddy
Assignee: Murali Reddy
Fix For: 4.1.0
With the availability of virtual network appliances that can provide L2-L7
network services from multiple vendors its desirable to have a framework
through which support for virtual network appliances can be integrated.
Main requirement would be to orchestrate provisioning the network appliance as
VM from the template. Current Virtual Network appliance manager which actually
orchestrates spinning up virtual router, can be generalised to provide abstract
implementation of virtual network appliance provisioning. Then specific
implementation for virtual router, Vyatta, NetScaler VPX etc can be extended
out of abstract implementation.
Also, CloudStack will need a driver model for server resources that implements
hypervisor support, so that network appliance specific logic to add nic's,
bridge, configure IP address etc can be plugged-in to hypervisor specific
resource layer.
Apart from providing framework, I would like use this framework and add support
for provisioning NetScaler VPX as network appliance providing EIP/ELB service
to the guest network in the advanced zone.
