Marcus Sorensen commented on CLOUDSTACK-9813:
---------------------------------------------
I apologize that there wasn't sufficient feedback with the initial design, but
I'm glad you agree that we can't have secondary storage as a dependency for a
running VM. As mentioned, there are also security issues in using secondary for
configuration data.
I'm not sure it can be completely hypervisor agnostic, but perhaps it can be
reworked such that the hypervisor plugin can choose to redirect to this
secondary storage ISO creation if it needs to. I'd also suggest that the
SSVM-leveraged implementation include moving the ISO to primary storage and
deleting the ISO from secondary at some point.

> To avoid the use of an extra VM for the virtual router we implement
> configdrive for userdata, metadata & password.
> The configdrive ISO is created on the secondary store and the KVM & VMware
> plugins are adapted to accept the configdrive ISO as second cdrom.
> Is applicable for isolated, VPC and shared networks.
