From a brief look, it seems like vCPE is more along the lines of the
customer having a "thin" device on their premise and their (now
virtual) network functions, eg. firewall, live in the providers data
center over a private link created by that thin device. So having a
hypervisor on a customer premise is probably not what most telecoms
would consider vCPE [1].
But in my (limited) example, I'm not talking about managing that thin
device, I am thinking of a hypervisor or two instead in a customer
premise, or remote location, that is controlled by some (magic?)
remote nova, and yeah, would have access to glance, etc, to deploy
instances, basically as a way of avoiding running an OpenStack control
plane there. But not so much in the way of managing upgrades of the
software on that virtual machine on that hypervisor or anything, just
acting as IaaS.
So what/who is the cloud user in this case? It almost seems like there
isn't much of a user (in the sense of a customer, like say myself)
involved in this equation. Instead there is really the providers user
that is issuing these commands and not much else? Is the user the
provider themselves (so they can take advantage of the under-utilized
resources on customer premise)?
Thanks,
Curtis.
