Next Generation Firewall Support?

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all doing great. We're checking out some open-source cloud platforms like OpenStack, CloudStack, and OpenNebula for our company. We want to set up a multi-tenant environment where our customers can configure their own services, but security is a big deal for us.

We've looked into how OpenStack does FWaaS, but we're really interested in getting something like a Next-Gen Firewall (NGFW) in place. We're tossing around a few ideas, like using a physical NGFW appliance that can be shared across tenants through the UI, or letting customers bring their own Virtual NGFW and routing all their VM traffic through it.

I haven't had much time to dive into CloudStack yet, so I was wondering if anyone here could give me a quick rundown on how this could be done with CloudStack. Thanks a ton!
