Cobbler is a Linux installation server that allows for rapid setup of network installation environments. With a simple series of commands, network installs can be configured for PXE ... [More] , reinstallations, media-based net-installs, and virtualized installs (supporting Xen, qemu, KVM, and VMware Server). Cobbler uses a helper program called 'koan' (which interacts with Cobbler) for reinstallation and virtualization support. Cobbler can also optionally help with managing DHCP, DNS, power, config management, and yum package mirroring infrastructure -- in this regard, it is a more generalized "batteries included" deployment server, rather than just dealing specifically with installations. It has a command line interface, a web interface, and also several API access options. [Less]

abiCloud is an open source cloud computing platform manager. It allows to quickly create a private cloud inside an organization's firewall, and manage it with a rich user interface. Next version will ... [More] allow to also deploy images in external clouds, creating an hybrid environment. [Less]

Enomalism is an open source web-based virtual infrastructure platform. Designed to answer the complexity of managing globally disperse virtual server environments. Enomalism helps to automate the ... [More] transition to a virtualized environment by reducing an IT organizations overall workload. The easy to use dashboard can help with issues including deployment planning, load balancing, automatic VM migration, configuration management, and capacity diagnosis. Enomalism virtual infrastructure is a dynamic mapping of physical resources to business needs. While a virtual machine represents the physical resources of a single computer, a virtual infrastructure represents the physical resources of the entire IT environment (Data Center). [Less]

OpenNebula is an open source virtual infrastructure engine that enables the dynamic deployment and re-allocation of virtual machines on a pool of physical resources.

A project about testing the performance of several virtual machine implementations.

Ganeti is a virtual server management software tool built on top of Xen, KVM and other Open Source software.

Virtual machine scheduling is different from ordinary time-slicing scheduling systems in the following ways: in the past, all the applications belongs to the same entity(a user or a organization). ... [More] However, in cloud computing, the users are not cooperative. in cloud computing, a user may require a set of virtual machines cooperating with each other to accomplish one task. In the past, the inter-relationship among tasks are not considered. load balancing has different meaning now. Due to the consumption of electric power, it is no longer wanted that all the CPUs in a clouding infrastructure are under-utilized. Based on KVM(kernel virtual machine, http://www.linux-kvm.org), this project aims to solve these problems in the following way: implement an OS-neutral virtual machine scheduling framework implement the hard-cpu-limit scheduling support implement the virtual machine co-scheduling implement the power-aware load balance scheduling. and more The scheduler developed here will also be beneficial to Xen VMM.

Virt-Factory is a set of applications for managing a very large number of virtual machines such as might be found in datacenters or compute farms. The goal of the project is to determine new and ... [More] efficient ways to control these large environments. Virt-Factory works by managing a pool of registered physical hosts, and then deploying virtual machines, which have specific roles as defined by their "profiles", onto those hosts. These virtual machines can run either Xen or KVM. [Less]
