I use it to overcome the 'joy' of VirtualBox's local networking and love what it can do in 64M RAM. </div><div><br></div><div>However, what you are describing are services, yes, but I think to focus on the OpenWRT part of it is missing the point. For example, Neutron has a VPNaaS already, but I agree it can also be built using OpenWRT and OpenVPN. I don't think it is a stand-alone service though, using a combination of Heat/{ansible|chef|puppet|salt}/any other deployment/orchestration can get you there. I have a shell script somewhere for doing exactly that on AWS from way back.</div><div><br></div><div>What I've always wanted was an image builder that would customize the packages pre-installed. This would be especially useful for disposable ramdisk-only or JFFS images that really can't install additional packages. Such a front-end to the SDK/imagebuilder sounds like about half of what you are talking about above.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, FWIW, a while back I packaged up a micro cloud-init replacement[0] in shell that turns out to be really useful. It's based on something I couldn't find again to give proper attribution so if anyone knows who originated this I'd be grateful.</div><div><br></div><div>dt</div><div><br></div><div>[0] <a href="https://github.com/dtroyer/openwrt-packages/tree/master/rc.cloud">https://github.com/dtroyer/openwrt-packages/tree/master/rc.cloud</a></div></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><br>Dean Troyer<br><a href="mailto:dtroyer@gmail.com">dtroyer@gmail.com</a><br></div>
