Apache Cloudstack > Agents Framework > Untitled Diagram (1) copy.png

High level goals:

Allows management of System VMs and services running in System VMs using CloudStack mgmt server
Pluggable agent provisioning server based on Ansible/Puppet/Chef or our own?
Allows management of user vms and support feature securely such as: password reset, public key reset, safely shutdown user vms etc
Eases up development, testing and operation (upgrades) of CloudStack system vms
Ability to manage and increased transparency for CloudStack admins to monitor and manage core cloudstack components such as Jobs, SystemVMs etc
TLS/SSL based communication security, managed from CloudStack (perhaps a certificate authority?)
Interoperable and transparent agent-server communication (the current protocol is TCP based, and does not allow agents such as CPVM/SSVM etc to be written in non-Java languages)
