with frr, The vxlan interface indeed have the local ip vxlan-local-tunnelip. (this could be found in frr.conf).
This could be managed with ifupdown2 template (as vxlan-local-tunnelip is always the same).

I was thinking of vmbr definition, as it's exactly the same on all nodes. (and can't be managed easily with ifupdown2 template).
We can manage this with puppet without problem, but I was thinking for users which only manage this through proxmox.

I don't have looked yet at vmware nsx to see how they manage this. (as it's almost the same setup).



>>How many vxlan will you deploy in you setup?

1 vxlan by customer, so if I migrate all my current vlans, around 300 currently ;)

I guess it would be very difficult ...

Not sure if the vxlan config is most times node related, so you always have node 
related config anyways? 

How many vxlan will you deploy in you setup?
