Re: [Xen-users] XCP Xen Cloud Control System ver 0.3 released!

[Vern Burke <vburke@xxxxxxxx>]

I only do static IP assignments on the VMs. I have no idea how you'd 
stop a VM from running a DHCP server from outside the VM (not that I can 
imagine why anyone would want to do that anyways). The best answer I've 
found for a lot of shennanigans is a zero tolerance policy in the terms 
of service (do it and you're gone, period).
Openflow looks like it might be useful except I'm not seeing much for 
controllers. I'm still pondering how to make best use of the 
capabilities of openvswitch.
XCCS multitenancy will provide a reduced set of functions to customers 
for controlling their own VMs with the end goal being self provisioning 
and automatic billing.
