Open Stack

You may be better off considering a different approach all together.

We ran into similar issues involving FISMA constraints and data
classification in the past.  One
'simple' solution is complete segregation ( not to be confused with
isolation ).  What we ended up coming up with was to basically deploy one
openstack cluster as an operations control cluster then use it to deploy
other openstack clusters as a service.

If you tie that into live migration you can even move physical machines
around between nodes by shutting them off and re-provisioning them as a new
node entirely.

The primary issue in this approach is network automation.

One solution is to deploy gateway systems as a service, but that's a bit of
a hack.

If you are interested in discussing this further I'd be glad to go into
depth in a blog post or something for yah.
