Yes, I heard of other people have the same requirements, that need one mgt server vm + one or more hypervisor host vms, then glue them together as a testbed. Or more radically, using the real nested virtualization(e.g. only VMware can have this capability that supports nested VT-x + EPT) + SDN, so that you can have real virtualized hypervisor hosts(ESXi/Xenserver/KVM hosts etc), plus any virtual networks you want. > > -Sebastien Goasguen > Apache Cloudstack evangelist.
