You’d have to put a separate Advanced Zone to use L2 Networking. What would be delegating DHCP and managing DNS?
If you can keep the DHCP+Metadata with cloudstack Router VM (it will only do DHCP and Metadata and no routing) - you can use everything else from upstream provider. This is how most Advanced Zones with VLAN isolation deployed and we have many of these. You can probably manage to abstract DHCP as well but integrating with a provider/plugin.. GloboDNS guys wrote some sort of integration like it - sometime ago.
