>
> 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.
> Release Planning:
