firewall is supposed to be covered by quantum afaiu.
I think Quantum's assumption is that there is a centrally managed
firewall server (Firewall-as-a-service?), I was talking about the VM's
firewall.
ssh keys is covered via the metadata service ("ec2 guest
api") and
cloud-init in fedora loads the relevant configuration from it (using
http://169.254.169.254 to get it)
Which is even worse, because:
1. Now you are splitting the configuration of a virtual machine to
different components
2. You are not doing the complete lifecycle mgmt, just the provisioning.
