Hi

there is VPN mechanism in neutron we could consider for future how to 
get around these networking obstacles if we would like to use direct SSH.

1) every private created by murano would create VPN gateway on public 
interface of the router [1]

neutron vpn-service-create --name myvpn --description "My vpn service" 
router1 mysubnet

2) any service like mistral which needs directly access VM via SSH (or 
other protocols) would connect to that VPN and then it could directly 
access VM on its fixed IP

This mechanism would probably resolve network obstacles. But it requires 
more effort to analyse it.

Mistral engine itself works with all actions equally, they are just basically functions that we can plug in and use in Mistral workflow language. From this standpoint Mistral is already abstract enough.
