Here is a update of the work in support of Cloudstack-764: The overall idea of this effort is to implement VPC Virtual Redundant Routing and automate the unit tests for system virtual machine for virtual routers both redundant and non-redundant, for Cloudstack-764.
Current work areas. Modify system vm bash scripts to implement VPC Virtual redundant routing in a similar fashion to existing virtual redundant routing. Basically implementing the ability for VRR to handle VPC's dynamic network topology as mention in the Java Refactoring from SP. Refactored the VeeWee virtual machine build scripts to use Packer. Packer is used because of its ability to build a system virtual machine raw file without unsupported "c" utilities and its additional builders to generate images for all virtual environments as required. Initial test framework uses VirtualBox/Vagrant as test harness with the addition of test scripts for unit testing. The output of the Packer build in a Vagrant Box is also used for debugging script changes outside of unit test framework. Use the output of the Packer builders as part of an automated system virtual machine "build/ testing chain" in support of additional script changes for virtual routers and/or other Cloudstack system virtual machine functions.
