nTier Apps was a new feature added in the previous release of CloudStack. nTier Apps feature allows users to create a multi-tier App connected to a single instance of Virtual Router that supports inter-VLAN routing. Users were also able to connect their multi-tier applications to a private Gateway or a Site-to-Site VPN tunnel and route certain traffic to those gateways
There were some sub-features that were left out of the initial implementation. nTier Apps 2.0 will address the left-out sub-features

Consider adopting Amazon EC2 model for Network ACLs - introduce networkACL container. New NetworkACLs are added to the container, and the container itself can get applied to multiple guest networks (tiers). Introduce priority and action (allow/deny) for networkACLs. |

Bug Reference: CLOUDSTACK-748
UI: Only UI changes are required. Rest of the implementation is already in place. In the UI on deployVm dialog list Shared networks as available for vm deployment.
QA: test deploying vm on 1 Isolated network +1(n) number of Shared networks. Check deployment from VPC tab as well as Instances tab. Verify that all Isolated network related functionality works (network ACLs, PF/LB, network usage tracking)
VPC KVM Hypervisor support was added by Marcus Sorensen in 4.0.
UI: have to list KVM as available hypervisor when deploy VM in VPC network
QA: execute the same test cases as you've executed for Xen server
Bug Reference: CLOUDSTACK-752
API: remove constraint allowing adding only one VPN connection
UI: add support for adding more than 8 VPN connections
QA: Support for 8 connections should be tested. Make sure UI as well as the backend functionality work.
