I currently have a development instance configured for Windows Azure Pack with Service Provider Foundation.
Using the featured WAPWrapper implementation, I have created my own method under the VMMOperation class (similar to the CreateVm method) to create a new Service with this technet article as a loose reference to creating a new Service without using Service Management
Automation Runbooks.

As it is written, my code successfully instantiates a new configuration deployment using the specified Service Template parameter, however I cannot add a new service with TierConfigurations and (subsequently my VMConfiguration collection instantiated) so instead
I have this result in VMM instead of a deployment with VMMConfiguration to specify the VM properties.
If I try to add the TierConfigurations I am met with the following error:

I find this strange, because "MyTestTierConfiguration" is the name of a ServiceTierAndVMConfiguration object but a ComputerTier object is something completely different in the SPFVMM service.

My line of thought was that I would need to add a reference to a ComputerTier collection as the Service seems to accommodate this property (as seen above), but by pursuing this I am sent into a seemingly neverending sequence of hidden requirements where each
property necessary for a new Service object (or child property) requires another reference further down the chain.
Is it possible to simply add custom settings for a Service deployment object through the SPFVMM service in this manner? I wanted to follow the same code implementation the WAPWrapper sample uses to create a VM from a VMTemplate but customizing parameters
in this manner does not seem to be cooperative.
Let me know if I need to supply any further code examples for clarification.
