Thank you for the valuable feedback. I have been considering the same setup Jeroen proposed.
I think what most of us want is something like onapp integrated storage. At least that is what it sounds like to me. It would be neat if ACS had a system vm baked in for running ceph, or some type of distributed storage. Either VM or object storage. IMO, Running big expensive enterprise SAN for your block storage doesn't feel very cloud-like.
