API and framework changes will be done to support External FW & LB in VPC. Cisco ASA firewall and NetScaler loadbalacer will supported with the initial implementation. Additional providers can be added at a later stage.
VPC VR is assumed as the only VPC provider in the current implementation. This will be modified to support multiple providers.
Resources and corresponding backend scripts will be added for Cisco ASA and NetScaler VPC providers.
