Is the customer claiming to have CPBM on top of (ASF) CloudStack now? Or are you proposing do use CloudStack as the CloudOS?
Existing deployments are probably what is now called CloudPlatform. CloudStack moved to ASF only this past April. At that point, there was a fork in the code base to allow the ASF incubator to get underway. AFAIK, the first stable release from the incubator project will be 4.0. Prior to that the incubator was busy bullet-proofing the licensing, putting together the ASF portal, and switching the build system over to maven. Therefore, an existing CPBM is probably using CloudPlatform.

I am in the middle of an enterprise engagement with a service provider where CPBM sits on top of apache cloudstack (if I am not mistake)...is this an option?
