FYI, libvirt also now provides secure remote access, so it can be used off-node from the box being managed. Access is either tunnelled over SSH, or directly connected using TLS + x509 certificates. http://libvirt.org/remote.html This would enable a single web service to manage multiple hosts securely. http://libvirt.org/remote.html I illustrated some very simple examples here, showing the same commands talking to Xen, and KVM/QEMU both locally and remotely over SSH, or TLS. http://berrange.com/personal/diary/2007/07/libvirt-remote-management-news Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
