VNF Integration and Support in Apache CloudStack
summary
CloudStack 4.19 adds CloudStack 4.19 VNF appliance & template support: a VNF template (image) plus VNF appliance type, CRUD for templates and plans, and a deployment wizard that maps multiple NICs and injects management access details into API/UI. Demo shows a pfSense image deployed as an appliance, VMs obtain IPs and reach the internet, and CloudStack auto-creates firewall/SSH/HTTP rules automatically for management. Roadmap aims for a plugin framework to auto-configure diverse VNFs despite differing access methods and upgrade challenges.
