Is it possible to create a network offering, which would use a custom virtual appliance instead of the default Debian template?
My understanding is currently only following network providers are supported/available in ACS: - Citrix NetScaler - F5 - Juniper SRX - Virtual Router - Cisco ASA 100v (Citrix CloudPlatform only?) I've found a wiki page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Palo+Alto+Firewall+In tegration# that somebody managed to integrate the Palo Alto Firewall into ACS. Plus some other people managed to get the midokura or Nicira to work ? So it seems that custom network providers are feasible. I'd like to provide a premium network offering with a commercial security gateway/UTM virtual appliance as a network provider. Ie the FortiGate UTM provides VPN, NAT, DNS, DHCP, routing and other network features similar to Virtual Router, but also offers security features like anitispam, virus scanning, deep packet inspection, IPS etc. So the question is how hard is, and how much dev effort is required? Other option is to create a network like this Internet -> ACS VR-> FortiGate TM VM -> customer VMs But not sure how can force all the public traffic from the VMs to go via the FortiGate? The environment is XenServer 6.2 and ACS 4.2.1 with Advanced Networking Thanks, Michal Regards, Michal Rodzos Solutions Architect <http://www.cloudcentral.com.au/?utm_source=michal&utm_medium=email&utm_camp aign=cloudcentral> CloudCentral - Secure Australian Cloud Phone: 1300 144 007 | Mobile: +61 421 834 204 <http://www.linkedin.com/in/michalrodzos> View Michal Rodzos' profile on LinkedIn| Skype: michal.rodzos | <https://twitter.com/cloudcentral> Twitter
