Apache CloudStack’s persistent networks have been a solution for system administrators, that abstracts away the micromanaging of resources like virtual machines and physical devices (like routers and switches) and avoids the inconvenience of setting up the network for every individual host. Even though the persistent network is quite powerful, it lacks a dynamic to simply add a new host to a cluster and have it automatically configured for the persistent networks resources of the zone. The project idea aims to introduce a feature to CloudStack, with which detecting newly added hosts and creating the persistent network’s resources will be automated to further reduce the management of a cluster during its lifecycle.
