Need Juju on cloudstack!

[franck.dehay at orange.com]

Hi John, 

Thanks a lot for this little hack (the additional region) it may help us a lot.
It kind of makes sense in a way if you need to scale-out your cloud, scale-in in this case!
Not sure of the impacts on networking though.

We just need to find where we can add a region in the provider configuration, may be you would know by chance?
Been looking at the code and it is not that simple!

One of the easiest ways to do it today would be to use manual provisioning. So you would spin up your instances using whatever cloudstack interface you have available (such as the dashboard), and then you would register those machines with juju (juju add-machine ssh:user at host), and then you could deploy to those machines.

The logic inside the EC2 provider already has some support for changing what endpoint it uses based on region. So one semi-hacky way would be to create a new region that was your cloudstack endpoint. My personal concern is that without someone actually focused on supporting Cloudstack, it will mostly work, but when it fails it will be hard to diagnose and resolve. Right now, it isn't on our own roadmaps to implement Cloudstack support, but we would be willing to help someone who was interested in doing so.
