Hi Dário,

Hypervisor does not matter in Stratos context. We are only calling
OpenStack APIs via jclouds.

This is great. Yes you can create No-SQL (e.g Mongo) Cartridge and do
load-balancing. We have intergrade HAProxy load balancer, so you can do TCP

persistence storage into Cartridges. This is very important, when we comes
to Data Cartridges.
