Ilya, your on the right path here. I think many of you know that I work in the field for the Citrix side of things, and I¹ve had several user requests for this because they don¹t have the knowledge base in Linux to keep up with it. I think it would help with adoption significantly.
Now trying to build Azure ZonesŠ That¹s a really cool thought, but I would expand that to the bad letters AWS as well. It would give us a huge advantage that OS and Euca couldn¹t even start to touch. We would really have a true Public / Private / Hybrid solution. Isn¹t that what the original CloudBridge module in CloudStack code was about?
