Hi all,
This topic has been further deepened and prototyped at Nuage Networks, and the earlier submitted design doc [1] has been updated with an OpenStack support section [2]. Note that we also provided PR's for CoreOS support. Here we use the original Cloudstack format as I don't think the CloudStack community needs to add OpenStack support to CoreOS :-) Pls provide your feedback. When being approved we will get the work done and the PR [3] updated.
