Hi,
SO we are going in a direction , where Open stack Infrastructure features also
moving into Service-VM ?
Moving into Service-VM is mixing with NFV world, where these
Tennant/NFV Services are supposed to be outside open stack infrastructure.
Let me know if my understanding is correct here.

I’d like to propose openwrt VM as service.
What’s openWRT VM as service:
a) Tenant can download openWRT VM from http://downloads.openwrt.org/
b) Tenant can create WAN interface from external public network
c) Tenant can create private network and create instance from
private network
d) Tenent can configure openWRT for several services including DHCP,
route, QoS, ACL and VPNs.
So first off, I'll be the first on in line to promote using OpenWRT for the
basis of appliances for this sort of thing. I use it to overcome the 'joy' of
VirtualBox's local networking and love what it can do in 64M RAM.
However, what you are describing are services, yes, but I think to focus on the
OpenWRT part of it is missing the point. For example, Neutron has a VPNaaS
already, but I agree it can also be built using OpenWRT and OpenVPN. I don't
think it is a stand-alone service though, using a combination of
Heat/{ansible|chef|puppet|salt}/any other deployment/orchestration can get you
there. I have a shell script somewhere for doing exactly that on AWS from way
back.
What I've always wanted was an image builder that would customize the packages
pre-installed. This would be especially useful for disposable ramdisk-only or
JFFS images that really can't install additional packages. Such a front-end to
the SDK/imagebuilder sounds like about half of what you are talking about above.
Also, FWIW, a while back I packaged up a micro cloud-init replacement[0] in
shell that turns out to be really useful. It's based on something I couldn't
find again to give proper attribution so if anyone knows who originated this
I'd be grateful.
