Include management server and hypervisor setup. Ideally had a wrapper to link to the hypervisor and the mgt server together automatically using Marvin. -Investigate PaaS solutions and their integration with CloudStack. Software like cloudify, openshift, cloudfoundry, appscale…some of it is already done but a thorough analysis of pros and cons as well as code writing to finish the integration of some would be great. You can also check out JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK , browse through the long list of 'bugs' and pick what seems interesting to you. This all depends of course on your skills and interest, are you more of a java developer or a sys admin ? Are you interested in integration with third party software or core java development ?
