Tying the vlan ID to a 12-bit integer like 802.1q is probably a horrible mistake. Strongly recommend you avoid that. At the very least it should be a 32-bit integer, but more likely a 64-bit integer or even (preferably) a string.
Very few cloud providers of any reasonable size will have less than 4096 IDs *and* I can guarantee you that there will be non-802.1q workarounds to providing L2 networking domains.
