Adding firewall rule by protocol number
Hi - is it possible to add a firewall rule by protocol number (i.e. GRE) for a standard network? It is possible to do this for a VPC ACL, but I can't seem to make it work for standard network types.

Re: Routing from VPC Private Gateway to Internet (4.2.1)
It will not let me add a CIDR of 0.0.0.0/0 as it overlaps with the internal VPC range. When adding a specific address (8.8.8.8/32) an error is thrown. I would have thought that routing from private gateway to the internet is a pretty standard scenario?

Routing from VPC Private Gateway to Internet (4.2.1)
Does anyone know if it should be possible to route from a customer network on the private gateway to the internet? When I set this up there is no NAT rule created on the VPC and PC’s on the customer network cannot get to the internet. The customer would like to use the VPC connection to access the internet. Is this possible?

Re: CloudStack DR Approach (not HA)
It is well and good to say that this feature will not be developed - but 100% of our customers are asking us for this kind of functionality. Most of our customers are traditional enterprises who who have invested vast sums of money on SAN/NAS environments, and they typically run large VMware farms. Today they are able to implement a DR Solution by using SAN/Hypervisor replication and automation tools such as VMWare SRM. This typically works very well (at a cost), considering some of our customers have over 800 applications in their portfolio. Most, if not all of our customers run very traditional, vertically scaling applications that are central to their business. Assuming they are going to re-write their very complex and expensive application stack so that they can leverage cloud technologies is a flawed argument. The cost of such an exercise may run into the 10¹s of millions for some organisations. In any case, I really hope this feature is developed. Without it, Cloudstack (and other cloud platforms) will make limited headway into risk adverse enterprise accounts who have had this capability for many years. Although I fundamentally agree that to really harness the power of cloud, your applications should be Œcloud native¹, I also think that cloud platforms should be flexible enough to cater for traditional workloads and not doing so it a major inhibitor to cloud adoption for enterprises.

Isolated Network with no Services
Is it possible to configure a network offering for an isolated network that has no services? I would like to give the customer the option to create a network that is totally isolated (no L3 connectivity) so that they can bring their own software router/firewall. The isolated network would be connected to other networks via the customers virtual router. I can create the network offering however it is not listed as an available service when I try to create the network.
