Good afternoon!

I was curious as to whether anyone has developed or looked into setting up some 
kind of a Marketplace to work with Cloudstack, and if so, what you ultimately 
ended up using?

For background, our organization, a Cloud Services Provider/Managed Services 
Provider, has implemented and hosts a growing Cloudstack environment, and we're 
wanting to set something up that will allow us to provide one-click deployment 
of various applications/tools/functions to give our users a better self-service 
experience and streamline the process of getting customers the tools they want 
without the need to manually deploy/provision everything.

We've developed a lot of the actual nuts and bolts of automated deployment of 
software and such through Github and its functionality, however the thing we're 
lacking is some kind of a front-end that would be secure, tie into Cloudstack 
and Github, and make use of the Github automations that we have.

Obviously, since we have the automation stuff going full bore in Github, having 
direct integration with cloudstack isn't exactly necessary, although it'd be 
nice from a customer SSO perspective, so it's entirely possible that whatever 
web portal type creation we use would be a marketplace tie-in with Github, 
using that as the lynchpin to actually do things inside of Cloudstack.

Either way, I'm not looking for specific "Here's how you can do X, Y, and Z 
with what you've got" as much as I'm looking for ways others have gone about 
implementing something like this (assuming they have) and what 
tools/services/vendors ya'll may have used.  I only mention what we have with 
Github to show that we're flexible on this and how we implement it and accept 
that going direct to Cloudstack may be less feasible than front-ending Github 
and having Github continue to tie into CloudStack.

Thanks!
